Hegseth’s foolish threat to investigate Sen. Mark Kelly for urging military to refuse illegal orders is more sickening in light of his illegal order to “kill everyone” after two wounded men survived his first military strike. Hegseth must be held accountable.

I spoke with Betty. She was very emotional and asked me to tell you that “she would love to give each one of you a great big hug.” We’re so close to changing her life. If you can give $5 or $10, it would be awesome. If not, I completely understand, but a repost is free. Thanks very much.
I’ve only posted one GFM, and it’s my intention never to post another. But this one is close to my heart. I know the family personally and have visited with them countless times. If you can help out, it would be great. If not, I completely understand - but a retweet is free.

Fox News legal contributor Andy McCarthy knocks down Hegseth's defense:
"Neither Hegseth’s statement nor the explanation attributed to Bradley ... makes legal sense.
...
It cannot be a defense to say, as Hegseth does, that one has killed because one’s objective was 'lethal, kinetic strikes.'"

‘We Intended the Strike to Be Lethal’ Is Not a Defense | National Review
The laws of war, incorporated in the federal war crimes statute, prohibit the killing of people who have been rendered hors de combat.

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."

Trump's presidency continues to be some kind of parody.
Having 'written' "The Art of the Deal" he again shows zero understanding about making deals, saying Russia's compromise is they will stop fighting.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

It's not a Peace Plan, it's a Surrender Plan.
It's designed to have Ukraine reject it,
so Putin & his servant can blame Zelensky,
& Putin can continue his evil bloody invasion
bc Putin believes Ukraine belongs to Russia.
That's the only plan.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.
