A little wordy but feels accurate.

Whisky is a hell of a drug.

    So. Even if they were lawful combatants and we were at war (neither of which is true,) It is a war crime to issue an order of no quarter. (that is to say, ordering that no prisoners be taken, and that all enemies must be killed.)

    it’s nazis shit through and through. They’re not lawful combatants, and we’re not at war. Even if they were smuggling, that doesn’t allow them to be blown out of the water with impunity. And they’ve not been demonstrated to be smuggling, never mind, smuggling into the US.

      All right on the money. I’d only add that there’s the additional horror of refusing help to someone lost at sea. Modern legalities aside, sailors have always aided anyone in the water. It’s a basic human law.

        There’s very few people I would suggest deserve to have that horror inflicted on them. Trump. hegseth. Theil. Putin, etc. Personally, we should drop them off in the Sargassum seaweed patch. Existential horror mixed with the possibility of contracting flesh eating bacteria.
