The White House Twitter page tweeted a "video game" take on the Iran attacks the other day. It was disgusting and infantile and I didn't bother sharing it here for those reasons, but...it is a confirmation that it IS the mindset among Trump and his goons.

...in this hemisphere to our enemies or adversaries."
-- Stephen Miller (link below)

And, given the unfailing accuracy you boost of, are you telling us the "double-tap" on Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school in Minab, Hormozgan province (that killed at least 165) was INTENTIONAL?!?

Miller's statements were delivered at "Americas Counter Cartel Conference" at Doral (apparently the lead up to this weekend's so-called "Shield of the Americas summit" )

"We are not going to cede an inch of territory in this hemisphere to our enemies or adversaries, Miller said, adding the US was using hard power, military power, lethal force, to protect and defend the American homeland.

Miller further maintained there is no criminal justice solution to drug cartels, which he likened to armed groups like al-Qaeda and ISIL (ISIS).

Organised crime, he concluded, can only be defeated with military power.

12. Notwithstanding motive, isn't this statement tantamount to an admission of premeditated murder?

OR are nations (and leaders) above (or immune from) the constraints such fundamental principles of civil society or law?
