Two things:
1. If we’re sinking Iranian ships in the open ocean using submarines, this is an offensive war, and the President needs to declare war and go to Congress.
2. If you sink a ship with a torpedo, and there are no other threats around, you are obligated to search for, and rescue, survivors. The US Navy needs to stop being complicit in Hegseth’s war crime spree.
@mcnado Yep. The analogy in a land war would be you surround an enemy, destroy all of their weapons, and don't even give them a chance to surrender as POWs. You just let them starve. That is a war crime, and this is a war crime.
@Jumpmed @mcnado yep, like what we're enabling in Palestine.
