The Times: Weeks of peace talks, revised US proposals, and a Trump envoy’s Kremlin visit failed to sway Putin, he remains committed to conquering Ukraine. The only clear result: Putin no longer fears Trump. Talks widened the rift between Europe and Washington, delighting Moscow.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

"When senior leaders disparage legal oversight, sideline JAG officers, impede the ability of the press to report, or treat accountability as the enemy, they do more than risk unlawful action. They weaken the moral foundation that makes our military credible in the eyes of the American people...
@markhertling.bsky.social warns the gravest threat to the U.S. military is the erosion of the values that keep our forces lawful and legitimate. He implores Congress to investigate whether unlawful orders were issued in the Caribbean, and hold every official to account.

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

When Canada deepens ties with China, it's not romance, it's risk management. If the U.S. keeps slapping tariffs and rewriting rules, partners diversify. Reliability is an economic asset; squander it, and trade flows and influence quietly move elsewhere.

Before being put in charge of the most powerful military in human history, Hegseth's big cause was getting war criminals pardoned! Trump pardoning serial killer eddie gallagher was basically Hegseth's doing
Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.

They voted to confirm him anyway.
