My sense is that they wanted to use the Alien Enemies Act to illegally
deport people arrest and deport people from this country that actually weren't subject to deportation they decided the alien enemies act was a way to do that they then realized the alien enemies act required a war so then they declared a war then they needed a reason for the war so then they reverse engineered some sort of reason for the war ostensibly right now the reason for the war is to stop drug trafficking into the united states today the man convicted of the largest
volume of drug trafficking in the history of the United States was just freed from prison by Donald Trump, the former president of Honduras.
So clearly, if that's the area of focus, that isn't the justification for this war.
So what are we doing there in the first place?
Why are we blowing out of the water and killing people in boats with outboard motors, some of which aren't even pointed towards the United States, let alone verified to have drugs on them, let alone even if they did, if they were coming to the United States and then the capacity to reach the United States and they were filled with drugs.
Why isn't it possible to just interdict them the way that we do with the Coast Guard, where you go and take the drugs and then put those people on trial and investigate and then follow the drugs to their source of origin and then take care of it there?
Like, none of this makes any sense.
It feels like
They bumbled themselves into a profoundly incoherent and illegal situation in which they decided the one true benefit they were getting out of all of it is that they were getting video game style visuals to play on Fox News and put on TikTok.
And they liked that.
So now they have put this admiral
the commander of Southern Command, every senior officer in that command and all of the servicemen and women who serve there in the position of potentially being held liable for murder or war crimes until the statute of limitations on those matters runs.
And I don't even know what it would be.
And by backing and bumbling and symbolically rambling themselves into this mess,
I'm less worried about the fate of the bad guys who have gotten us here than I am about the good people who've been put in the way of this mess.
And from Admiral Bradley on down.
And it's a catastrophe.
I think Pete Hegseth, it's impossible to imagine that he survives this as Secretary of Defense.
I think he must resign.
