In case anyone missed it: POTUS has just threatened a gross war crime. The fact that Russia has been doing it for years in Ukraine doesn’t make it legal.

Any servicemember involved in executing such a mission would be violating both US and international law.

@grumpybozo Hegseth and his Revolutionary Chad Guard had most of a year to reconfigure active duty rosters to replace most roles and ranks with those “loyal” to Dear Leader. And if anyone does speak against Lord Dropsy they have complete control over comms channels, so it’s likely squashed long before it gets to the media. And here I was hoping that the military leadership would refuse to engage in obviously criminal activity.
