@randahl not only Trump.

Ever US American president within my Lifetime used to be exactly as you describe.
No matter if it is about some people in a boat, kids in Afghanistan or harmless families in the middle east, the US bombs proudly - and the citizens are proud about it.

That's how a country creates enemies.

@randahl it's horrific, but we should remember that bush, obama, and other presidents did this too. just not random boats, is all. wedding parties yes; fishing boats no.

@randahl
Tbh it worries me more that the military seem to be "fine with that". It's nothing less than following unlawful orders. Every killing makes at least the navy more complicit.
Other branches of military, rather say the so adored "troops", seem to "go along" with it.
Nothing is *not* "falling apart" there. At least not as we get to know of.

@randahl Trump is an asshole 🤬

@randahl But more importantly, it gives #StephenMIller an erection.

@randahl I don't even think they suspected them of drug smuggling, it's just for show..

@randahl These are surely a war crimes and as such should be subject to international law that ensures a cessation and bringing of the perpetrators to face criminal charges as war criminals?

@randahl isn’t a military attack against a foreign-flagged vessel in international waters an act of war?

Is the international community actually ignoring that, or is our news just not covering the international response?

@randahl how do we convince trump to get in a small fast boat in international waters?

@randahl I think probably it’s mostly to deflect attention from his Epstein crimes

@randahl
AND because it makes a lot of (MAGA) people feel good.
This is something that should get much more attention: populist leaders are often blamed for hate, racism and the like. While there may be nothing wrong with this, the risk is to overlook the fact that their racism, hate speech etc is also part of a communication strategy to satisfy and foment their extremist base, which they get their power from.
Trumps will come and go, but that base will remain and new trumps will prosper on it.

@randahl Obama commanded the assassination of more than 2000 by drones... so what?

@randahl No es solo Trump sino todo el imperio decadente

@randahl
And because DT want to have access to the Venezuelan oil 🛢️. Follow the money 💰

@randahl That‘s horrible! Without any evidence and trial!

@randahl Don Jr still going to get that coke one way or another. It'd be a lot better for all involved to just send him to rehab.

@randahl I think (I know I could be mistaken) but the general misconception about Trump's presidency comes from the assumption that he is a president. He's not and he does not act as one. He is and acts as a CEO of a company. In his opinion the US are nothing else but a divisions or departments in a structured organisation following his strategy and executing his tactics. Not guilty until proven otherwise? That is purely a waste os time an resources in his opinion or understanding.

@randahl I replied to your other Felon 47 post as well: what makes him feel good is OIL. All the countries of his interest IRN, LBY, VEN, CAN have one thing in common: OIL.

@randahl
That should get him the FIFA Peace Prize though, right?

@randahl Because Trump is trying to fabricate an excuse to get the US into a war with oil-rich Venezuela. Nobody will believe it has WMD, so the story is drugs and fast boats.

@randahl

He doesn't even know their names. It doesn't matter to him who they kill.

He's just killing for the sake of building his reputation as a murdering madman

@randahl Just declare anyone you don’t like a terrorist & kill them. He’s acting just like all the authoritarians around the world did back in 2001.

@randahl this is a good explanation.

@randahl because he's gone beyond being able to think.

@randahl @IainMac9 There need to be courts martial. Trump needs to be one of the people court martialed.

@randahl and the world does…..nothing. Fucking bizarre

@randahl, International courts should have him on the list of wanted criminals. He should be arrested the minute he enters another country.

@randahl and such a person wanted the Nobel Peace Prize!

@randahl while he gets to be a president even after 34 felonies.

@randahl And does anyone think he cares at all about drugs entering the country? Of course he doesn't. Killing people is the point. It's his starting point. Next he'll kill people closer to home, and he'll keep getting closer and closer until, like Putin, he can kill whoever he wants. Other dictators can do it. Why not him? He wants that power.

@randahl And he has the nuke codes...

@randahl And Hicseth.
