“Assume it is true that fentanyl is exported from Venezuela to America, even if experts deny it. Assume that blowing up suspected smugglers on small boats in international waters is legal, and that the soldiers who do it will not, in 5, 10, or 15 years, be prosecuted (we know since the Nuremberg trials that ‘obeying orders’ is not a legal justification for crimes, and it is also true in American law). Ignore that the higher-ups, if they escape prosecution, will not be roasting in hell for all eternity for disobeying the commandment ‘Thou shalt not kill,’ if traditional Christian beliefs are true. There still remains a big question — in fact, a whole set of related one[s] — about the very justification for these operations, which is to ‘stop the poison, and keep America safe,’ to borrow the words of the Secretary of Defense.” (10/17/25)
