       So why the 2nd strike? [not that a communication is grounds for murdering stranded shipwreck survivors]Survivors clinging to capsized boat didn’t radio for backup, admiral overseeing double-tap strike tells lawmakers#Trump #Hegseth #law #criminal #murder #WarCrimes #ExtrajudicialKillings #Congress #Defense #DoD #InternationalLaw https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/04/politics/strike-lawmakers-briefing-radio-survivors

       The 2 men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did not appear to have radio or other communications devices, the top #military official overseeing the strike told lawmakers on Thursday, according to 3 sources with direct knowledge of his congressional briefings.#Trump #Hegseth #law #criminal #murder #WarCrimes #ExtrajudicialKillings #Congress #Defense #DoD #InternationalLaw

       @Nonilex Radios tend to work poorly when they and their antennae are immersed in seawater.

       As far back as September, #defense officials have been quietly pushing back on criticism that killing the 2 survivors amounted to a #WarCrime by arguing, in part, that they were legitimate targets because they appeared to be radioing for help or backup—reinforcements that, if they had received it, could have *theoretically* [🙄] allowed them to continue to traffic the drugs aboard their sinking ship.#Trump #Hegseth #law #criminal #murder #ExtrajudicialKillings #Congress #InternationalLaw

       #Defense officials made that claim in at least one briefing in September for congressional staff, & several media outlets cited officials repeating that justification in the last week.But Thursday, Adm. Frank “Mitch” Bradley acknowledged that the 2 survivors of the #military’s initial strike were in no position to make a distress call in his briefings to lawmakers.#Trump #Hegseth #law #criminal #murder #WarCrimes #ExtrajudicialKillings #Congress #DoD #InternationalLaw

       @NonilexAdmiral Bradley certainly doing his best to live up to Donald Trump's characterization of service members as suckers and losers.

       The initial hit on the vessel, *believed* to be carrying cocaine, killed 9 people immediately & split the boat in half, capsizing it & sending a massive smoke plume into the sky, the sources who viewed the video as part of the briefings said. Part of the surveillance video was a zoomed-in, higher-definition view of the 2 survivors clinging to a still-floating, capsized portion, they said.#Trump #Hegseth #law #criminal #murder #WarCrimes #ExtrajudicialKillings #Congress #DoD #InternationalLaw

       For a little under an hour—41 mins, acc/to a separate US official—Bradley & the rest of the #US #military command center discussed what to do as they watched the men struggle to overturn what was left of their boat, the sources said.#Trump #Hegseth #law #criminal #murder #WarCrimes #ExtrajudicialKillings #Congress #Defense #DoD #InternationalLaw

       Ultimately, Bradley told lawmakers, he ordered a second strike to destroy the remains of the vessel, killing the 2 survivors, on the grounds that it appeared that part of the vessel remained afloat because it still held cocaine, according to one of the sources. The survivors could hypothetically have floated to safety, been rescued, & carried on with trafficking the drugs, the logic went.Seriously??#Trump #Hegseth #law #criminal #murder #WarCrimes #ExtrajudicialKillings #Congress #DoD

       @Nonilex Fortunately for Bradley, he’ll get actual due process for the crimes he will face. It’s unlikely someone will just decide to murder him.

       @Nonilex The poor bastards clinging on the boat are dead, but I suspect that everyone in military service has paid attention to how Bradley was thrown over the side by Hegseth and Dump for following their illegal orders. It should make them pause and think when the NG and regulars get turned on us.

       The other source with direct knowledge of the briefing called that rationale “f**king insane.”[that ↑ is a real quote.]#Trump #Hegseth #law #criminal #murder #WarCrimes #ExtrajudicialKillings #Congress #Defense #DoD #InternationalLaw

       @Nonilex The rationale is insane.The watching two men struggle for their life FOR 41 MINUTES and then bomb them is psychopathic, and this general got a promotion after this.

       @Nonilex These are the caliber people Republicans and Trump have created. Republicans own this just as much.

       @Nonilex Oh, I'm still on why the first strike?Why not whatever we normatively do - or did, prior to Jan 20, 2025?I am not about to let them off the hook for 80+ non-judicial killings, or as we call it on my street, 1st degree murder.
