• Family of Chad Joseph believe he was killed in US strike on Tuesday
  • Relatives say Joseph was a fisherman, call his death ‘perfect murder’
  • Legal experts, Democrats raise concerns about legality of strikes

LAS CUEVAS, Trinidad and Tobago, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Relatives of a Trinidadian man who say he was killed in a U.S. military strike on a boat in the Caribbean this week are demanding evidence to back up allegations by U.S. President Donald Trump that those who died were trafficking drugs.

Trump has ordered a large U.S. military buildup in the southern Caribbean and U.S. troops there have conducted at least six strikes on boats the administration says were involved in drug trafficking, without providing evidence.

    Praljak: Bosnian Croat war criminal dies after taking poison in court

    Praljak, the former commander of the main staff of the Bosnian Croat defence forces (HVO), was jailed for crimes against humanity.

    Informed that soldiers were rounding up Muslims in Prozor in the summer of 1993, he had failed to make any serious efforts to stop the action, the UN war crimes tribunal found.

    Praljak had also failed to act on information that murders were being planned, as well as attacks on members of international organisations and the destruction of the city’s historic Old Bridge and mosques.

    Compare that to what this administration has already done in just a few months. Imaging what kind of horrific shit they will rack up in the next 3 years (minimum).

    I hope the Hague keeps plenty on hand for each member of this administration so they don’t get to take the easy way out.

    I wouldn’t trust anything this admin says. Vance more or less said “I will make shit up if it advances my policy goals.” while running.

    Apparently policy goals translates to killing civilians.

    Raise concerns? It is or it isn’t, and from 1 seconds looking at it, it fucking isn’t. They had way more time to prep than that which would make this premeditated.

    Trump is a murderer… and most of you would tell me to go to hell for wanting to hang him, and the ruling class. And you call yourselves “lefties.” Snakes in the Lemmy grass.

    Note: clearly does not apply to all of you lovely actually lefties)
