Foggy Bottom Line Episode 16: Hegseth and War Crimes

Last week The Washington Post published a story describing the orders giving prior to the first US military attack on alleged drug runner boats off the coast of Venezuela. According to sources, Hegseth issued an illegal order to leave no survivors after the attack. After the first missile strike, drone footage showed two survivors clinging to the wreckage. Hegseth, or someone, ordered a second strike to ensure the original "kill them all" order was carried out. This is a clear violation of the Laws of War - in other words a war crime. Scott and I discuss this development and talk over our thoughts on why Trump and Hegseth are attacking these boats in the first place.
