#PeteHegseth and the Trump administration face new scandal after alleged #warcrime is exposed in report detailing the #Pentagon 's use of a disguised aircraft for military attacks. #Perfidy @[email protected] breaks it down on @[email protected] youtu.be/7bhmqsVa4Dw?...
Hegseth Disaster BLOWS UP As D... -
DEFENSE Secretary Pete Hegseth has refused to release unedited video of a U.S. follow-up boat strike.
The plane used by the U.S. military to strike a boat accused of smuggling drugs off the coast of Venezuela in the fall
was painted to look like a civilian aircraft,
a move that appears to be at odds with the Pentagon’s manual on the laws of war.The plane,
part of a secret U.S. fleet used in surveillance operations,
also was carrying munitions in the fuselage,
rather than beneath the aircraft,
raising questions about the extent to which the operation was disguised in ways that run contrary to military protocol.Details of the plane’s appearance,
first reported Monday by the New York Times,
were confirmed by two people familiar with the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter.Pentagon Press Secretary
Kingsley Wilson
said in a statement that
“the U.S. military utilizes a wide array of standard and nonstandard aircraft depending on mission requirements.”The new details come after the Trump administration’s pressure campaign on Venezuela
— which began with it massing military resources in Latin America
and attacking a series of alleged drug-smuggling boats,
killing at least 115 people
— culminated this month in a stunning raid that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.He and his wife were spirited to the United States to face federal drug trafficking charges.
⭐️The U.S. Senate on Wednesday blocked a war powers resolution
that would prohibit further military action in Venezuela without authorization from lawmakers.Trump pressures GOP senators
Trump was so incensed over the Senate’s potential pushback on his war powers authority
that he had been aggressively calling several Republican senators who joined the Democrats in voting to advance the resolution last week.Trump put intense pressure on five Republican senators
and ultimately prevailed in heading off passage of the legislation.Two of the Republicans
— Sens. Josh Hawley of Missouri and Todd Young of Indiana
— flipped under the pressure.“He was very, very fired up,”
said Senate Majority Leader John Thune,
who did not vote for the resolution.He described Trump as “animated” on the subject
when they spoke before last week’s vote.In justifying the boat strikes since September,
the Trump administration has argued that the U.S. is in an
“armed conflict” with drug cartels in the region
and that those operating the boats are "unlawful combatants".⭐️However, U.S. military guidelines on the laws of war prohibit troops from pretending to be civilians while engaging in combat.
The practice is legally known as “#perfidy.”
The Pentagon manual,
which runs over 1,000 pages,
specifies that
“feigning civilian status and then attacking”
is an example of the practice.An Air Force manual says the practice was prohibited because it means the enemy
“neglects to take precautions which are otherwise necessary.”The Navy’s manual explains that
“attacking enemy forces while posing as a civilian puts all civilians at hazard,”
and sailors must use offensive force
“within the bounds of military honor, particularly without resort to perfidy.”Wilson said each aircraft goes through a “rigorous procurement process to ensure compliance with domestic law, department policies and regulations,
and applicable international standards,
including the law of armed conflict.”The plane that was painted as a civilian aircraft was used in a Sept. 2 strike,
the first in what would become a months-long campaign of U.S. deadly military strikes on suspected drug boats with political and policy ramifications for the Trump administration.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other top officials have been called on by Congress to answer questions and concerns about the actions
— particularly the first one because it involved a follow-up strike that killed two survivors holding onto the wreckage of the vessel hit in the initial attack.⭐️Legal experts have said the follow-on attack may have been unlawful
because striking shipwrecked sailors is considered out of line with laws of war.Some lawmakers have called for the Pentagon to publicly release the unedited video of the operation,
which Hegseth has said he will not do. -
Let’s Talk About The Mysterious 'Civilian-Style' Plane Used To Strike A Drug Boat
Common Launch Tubes make it possible to discreetly arm virtually any aircraft, including types that might appear to be entirely civilian.
A U.S. plane with a civilian-style outward appearance and the ability to launch munitions from within its fuselage carried out the first controversial strike on an alleged drug smuggling boat, according to multiple reports. Questions have been raised about this line of reporting. However, there are very real discreet munition launch options available for aircraft that can retain a distinctly civilian outward appearance, enabled heavily by one specific system called the Common Launch Tube (CLT)."

This is called “perfidy” and is illegal in the US and internationally.

Today, I learned a new word: "perfidy".
It is a war crime. The Trump administration used military airplanes that looked like civilian planes when attacking the Venezuelan "drug boats".

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft
💥 painted to look like a civilian plane
in its first attack on a boat that the Trump administration said was smuggling drugs, killing 11 people last September,
according to officials briefed on the matter.The aircraft also
💥carried its munitions inside the fuselage,
rather than visibly under its wings, they said.⭐️The nonmilitary appearance is significant,
according to legal specialists,
👉because the administration has argued its lethal boat attacks are lawful
— definitely not murders
— because President Trump “determined” the United States is in an armed conflict with drug cartels.🆘But the laws of armed conflict prohibit combatants from feigning civilian status to fool adversaries into dropping their guard, then attacking and killing them.
🔥That is a war crime called “#perfidy.”
Retired Maj. Gen. Steven J. Lepper,
a former deputy judge advocate general for the United States Air Force,
said that if the aircraft had been painted in a way that disguised its military nature and got close enough for the people on the boat to see it
— tricking them into failing to realize they should take evasive action or surrender to survive
— that was a #war #crime under armed-conflict standards.

"Drones and quadcopters used various recorded sounds to trick their victims: a crying baby, a child screaming for help. They preyed on the compassion and solidarity of Palestinians, which endured despite the unbearable suffering of war."

"More like #Perfidy…
#Perplexity is basically a rent-seeking #middleman on high-quality sources.
…by providing an answer, rather than pointing people to click through to a primary source, these so-called “answer engines” starve the primary source of ad revenue — keeping that revenue for themselves. Perplexity is among a group of #vampires that include #ArcSearch and #Google itself."https://www.theverge.com/2024/6/27/24187405/perplexity-ai-twitter-lie-plagiarism

NEW: From the moment he blustered onto the political stage, Trump has defied expectations. So you can't predict the impact of an indictment. But there's reason to believe his ability to defy political physics may have ended + his scot-free days are over
