44. How does that apply?

Friday

It says "Even if the U.S. were at war with the traffickers...would be a war crime". But the US isn't at war with Venezuela or anyone else whose boats they are blowing up. This is not "armed conflict", It's the US carrying out a massacre of possibly innocent people with no proof that they have done anything wrong. the US is simply attacking boats unprovoked who are not fighting back. It's not clear to me if international courts would call it a war crime , but it is definitely a crime against humanity.
