In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Trump tried to extort Brazil to drop the case against Bolsonaro by slapping a 50% tariff on the country

He also personally sanctioned Alexandre de Moraes-the judge overseeing this case-and his wife

Of course it didn’t work. Prices in the US increased instead

Now Trump has been humiliated

Again
