@AlisonCreekside all hands on the vessel must have known the Iranian ship was defenseless, yet they still carried out orders to destroy it. In my mind that makes all the soldiers onboard war criminals for not stopping this clearly illegal order.
@Netraven @AlisonCreekside
I imagine the ptsd our military will experience from all of this will require tons of support from the funding slashed VA. -

The former Indian FM:@AlisonCreekside WTF? What a ”Great Victory”. 🤯
Hegseth’s ”Warrior Ethic” seems as honorable as Donald Trump’s business ethic!

@chu @AlisonCreekside @fname it is a crime. Absolutely. But, as with all crimes, it's really only enforcement that matters.
@Hex @chu @AlisonCreekside @fname
(And don't forget the crime of just leaving any survivors to drown.)

@AlisonCreekside What sort of fucking animals lead this country? American forces sank a ship they knew to be defenceless, didn't offer to aid the survivors, and fucking claimed the high ground? The list of war crimes out of this is phenomenal.
Sadistic child-raping planetwreckers, that's who.
This is the kind of behavior everyone should expect from war profiteers. They have no conscience, no hearts, no decency of any kind. The same types of people who love chasing homeless people back and forth across town, throwing away all their belongings at every turn. The same types of people who deny health insurance to the sick so they can keep more profits to buy yachts with. The same types of people who clearcut old growth forests, poison rivers, charge money for vaccines, cover up the science of cigarette health risks, sneer at empathy, hate democracy, and invest in mass surveillance instead of mitigating climate change.
They're not even hiding the fact that they want to be supervillains anymore.
Monsters. We are being ruled by monsters.

Every day the US finds new ways of fucking over folks. And not infrequently also killing them. -

You would think the commander of that submarine would be embarrassed. -
@huntingdon @AlisonCreekside
What if the Commander refused to break the law? Fired? Worse? What position is this regime putting our military in?@ytscorp @huntingdon @AlisonCreekside
IANAL. Military penalties are harsh. Deliberately disobeying a *lawful* order in wartime potentially carries the death penalty. Even though it's not a lawful order, I'd be shocked if a skipper caught deliberately disobeying an order now wasn't arrested and tried for treason.
Doesn't make it right. And it's not like they didn't sign on to put their lives at risk. But the personal cost of doing the right thing is fucking huge. And you don't get to command positions without having drunk the Kool-Aid, or pretending so skillfully, that you might as well have.

The former Indian FM:If India wants agency, autonomy, & sovereignty then India needs to switch to renewable energy.
Ditch its fossil fuel overlords.
The fossil fuel industry owns & operates the GOP and Trump uses energy as a club in his Shakedown Diplomacy.

India get wind & solar programs running or be forever collateral damage of America's Middle East oil wars.
Trump betrays allies with such regularity.

It's sad that they are being put in this position. I see the ptsd this will all lead to and the lack of support they will receive because of funding cuts to the VA. -

@AlisonCreeksideRead a few paragraphs and was impressed that this article (Economic Times) offered some credible facts about the incident, but when confronted by both a firewall AND multiple layers of popups, I tend to be recalcitrant. So don't bother showing me the teaser paragraphs. You not only did not get a sale, you pretty much guaranteed that I will never buy from you.

I gather (from just stuff I've seen and read generally) that there's a kind of informal international club of submarine captains.
That guy is going to get chucked out of a social club that barely exists.
