In this case, "People" = terrorists.... we've now got to the point where people are saying that people dealing in drugs should be summarily killed...
Okay, I can respect your decision to list that.Terrorists are classified as "unprivileged belligerents."
Can you tell if that same "unprivileged belligerents' criterion should be found here: https://www.state.gov/executive-order-13224#criteria ...??What are you asking?
Come on. They were obviously signalling the positions of the us navy towards their allies for a missile strike by semaphore.Looks like they were surrendering.

It's been shown that in times of crisis humans are actually more likely to help each other than to instantly revert to barbarism.I read a book a few weeks ago called One Second After. It's about what happens in the US, primarily in one small town, when some unamed enemy sets off a number of Electro Magnetic Pulse weapons over the country. All electrics are fried. So next to no transport, lighting, power, comms...almost everything is dead.
It is chilling how convincing the collapse in 'civilised' behaviour is portrayed and the rule of law goes out of the window. New rules are the norm. Brutal laws. Severe punishments. People who were upstanding members of the community revert to being judge, jury and executioner.
In one case a couple of relatively young guys are caught stealing and dealing drugs. Their 'trial' lasts a few minutes. The sentence is carried out when they are dragged out to the local basketball court and shot in the head in front of cheering God fearin' town folk.
I was honestly chilled reading that at the time at how society can revert to carrying out such barbaric acts so quickly. It's positively medieval.
You're already there, my friend.
Why the scare quotes. Terrorists are still people, not "people". They are not vermin you are free to exterminate without regard for human rights.In this case, "People" = terrorists.
I think that changes a lot of things not mentioned in your post where the excerpt came from.
What I feel is saddest?still people... They are not vermin you are free to exterminate without regard for human rights.
So we've gone from narco-terrorists to just pure terrorists, hmm?What I feel is saddest?
Is if we hate our nation and/or the US President so much... to whereas we vehemently protect Terrorists' desire to traffick that which factually exterminate vulnerable USA citizens and residents without regard for human life, as if USA humans are vermin.
Currently there is only one side of the political spectrum involved in rampant anarchy. The video proof is readily available to anyone who really cares about truth.I read a book a few weeks ago called One Second After.

That is a noble ideal that was lost on the Obama and Biden administrations. The evidence is starting to be exposed. The truth will prevail. We shall see who really is above the law .If one is serious about human rights, one protects the rights of every human.
Apparently it's a nobel ideal that you and many other conservatives in this thread disagree with, so I don't see why you have a problem with democratic governments not following it.That is a noble ideal that was lost on the Obama and Biden administrations.

Were you against violating human rights when many conservatives were denied them by their government. Do you need a list.?Apparently it's a nobel ideal that you and many other conservatives in this thread disagree with, so I don't see why you have a problem with democratic governments not following it.
I'm joking. Of course I see why.
uhhh, I think it is the other way around, sir.So we've gone from narco-terrorists to just pure terrorists...
Is that the same way you thought in 2012 and 2016? That is when only one side of the political spectrum was bombing innocent civilians in Yemen and Afghanistan.Currently there is only one side of the political spectrum involved in rampant anarchy.
Of course. Legally they are "terrorists." Actually, they are not, calling them "terrorists" is just a fairy story concocted by morally bankrupt Christian nationalists to justify their summary execution.
Yes, I agree with that premise.
Can you tell me how you process that when "the law is" consisting of our Dept's of State/Treasury/Justice legally classifying those unpriviled belligerents as terrorists?
I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding about "designations."Okay, I can respect your decision to list that.
Can you tell if that same "unprivileged belligerents' criterion should be found here: https://www.state.gov/executive-order-13224#criteria ...??
Obama was not, however, targeting "innocent civilians."I'm left wondering what those same folks were saying when Obama was bombing innocent civilians in 2012 (Yemen) and in 2016 (Afghanistan) ...but i have a feeling they won't be interested in discussing that.
I think Trump has gotten down to the level where the JAG officers are hoping to just keep their heads down and out of his sights through his term. Some of them are not going to be successful at that.Let me understand this. The JAG officer said the very example of what is illegal as used in the military code training, is not illegal.
There is a reason why the Trump admin purged JAG officers who they thought would be an obstruction. You know, as in those clearing their throats to speak up when things are illegal.
