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. -

some random articles i found on it, so it's not just a screenshot.

@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. -

The former Indian FM:You just can't get more despicable than that.
Trump keeps finding a new bottom, that turns out not to be His bottom.
Vile, vile, vile.
This, this alone should result in the removal of Trump and Hegseth. If we have no mechanisms to achieve that, through our institutions, or due to those institutions having achieved the same lies (Mike Johnson), what are we to do?

How is this not a crime? They are admitting to murder.
@chu @AlisonCreekside @fname Just like bombing schools and hospitals ... also crimes.

The former Indian FM:@AlisonCreekside In wartime it is lawful to attack enemy ships even if they are defenseless, but you must first declare war to give them fair notice that their ships may be attacked without warning. But we haven’t done that. Only congress has the constitutional authority to declare war.
Every unprovoked attack on Iran is a war crime, including the school we bombed and the attack that killed the Iranian leadership.

The former Indian FM:@AlisonCreekside the issue for India is how to have sufficient influence to respond to this insult. India does have some strategic advantage particularly in the area of software. The European nations are very aware of how dependent they are on US software; how software often requires a massive user base to become available at economic scale. The strong connections india, it large talented English speaking population and the fact it is not China give it unique advantages. Slowly but surely.
