God, I hope this ends at The Hague.

This appears to be the 3rd lethal US strike in the Caribbean.

Once again, the specific "terrorist" entity targeted is not identified.

No legal justification is offered for this premeditated killing.

President Trump is asserting a license to kill outside of the law. 1/n

Maracaibo Basin was source of most fuel used by the allies in Europe during WWII.

The Lago Colony refinery on Aruba was attacked by Germany.

China and Russia romance Venezuela.

3. zero evidence presented to the American people of any crimes committed by those killed

...just the word of the same administration that lied about drug gang ties to the people he kidnapped away in the middle of the height to a death camp in Venezuela.

He has zero credibility on these claims and isn't being made to account for any of them.

Dead men tell no tales. The only word we have to go on is from a man/baby with bone spurs that told some 30,000 lies in his first term.

15. A "lethal kinetic strike" is not in Trump's vocabulary. And here are two questions to which they don't know the answers

"A vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization"

Affiliated in what way exactly? One crew member had an uncle whose mom's maiden name was Escobar?

And WHICH "Terrorist Organization," and so-designated by WHOM? To Trump, the National Endowment for the Arts is a Designated Terrorist Organization.
