DESTINY MELTS DOWN Defending Venezuelan Narco-Terrorists!
Quick Overview
The speaker argues that the narrative claiming US military strikes on a Venezuelan drug boat resulted in two survivors clinging to the wreckage is false, citing the Geneva Conventions' definition of 'shipwrecked' and 'combatant' to assert that the targets were not protected and could be lawfully killed, regardless of whether they surrendered or were 'out of combat' due to wounds or sinking.
Key Points: The speaker refutes reports, allegedly originating from anonymous sources and amplified by The Washington Post, that two survivors clung to the wreckage of the Venezuelan drug boat after the US military strike. The speaker cites Article 5.19.4 of the DoW Manual, stating that 'shipwrecked' individuals must be in a helpless state from wounds, sickness, or shipwreck, and that those who continue to fight are not protected. The speaker argues that the drug traffickers were not 'shipwrecked' under the law of war because they were engaged in irregular chemical warfare against the US, making them terrorists and not entitled to protection. The speaker contends that the US military legally killed all 11 individuals because they were terrorists engaged in unlawful chemical warfare, violating the laws of war, and were not entitled to protections afforded to POWs or shipwrecked persons. The speaker contrasts this situation with the rules for World War I combatants, noting that the narrative about survivors being intentionally killed after surrender or being 'out of combat' is false because the targets were unlawful combatants/terrorists. The speaker references a tweet from someone named 'Andrew Branca' (or potentially 'Destiny' arguing with him) who supports the idea that belligerents can be killed if they are not legally protected combatants, even if wounded or sinking. The speaker also shows clips of El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele criticizing US/EU policies on crime, noting that El Salvador found success by ignoring those 'recipes' and taking decisive action against gangs.
