Trump and Hegseth Authorize ‘Kill Everybody,’ Then Question If It’s Illegal

KEY POINTS

•In September 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a missile strike against a Caribbean speedboat linked to drug trafficking allegations.
•After two survivors were spotted clinging to wreckage, an admiral authorized a second strike, raising allegations of war crimes.
•The Trump administration denies killing survivors, claiming the boat had to be sunk to clear a navigation hazard.
•Congressional armed services committees have launched bipartisan investigations amid concerns about violations of international law.

In a mid-2025 Caribbean drama worthy of a binge-worthy soap, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a missile strike to 'kill everybody' on a speedboat, turning it into a floating bonfire while two survivors struggled like extras in a disaster movie. When an admiral called 'second strike for good measure' — officially to sink the hazard, unofficially maybe to break a few more rules — the administration called The Washington Post's report 'fake news.' Meanwhile, Trump claimed each boat kill saved 25,000 Americans, a math miracle that would make any TikTok numerologist cringe. Despite over 20 strikes killing 80 people without a shred of public evidence, they insist this Caribbean cocaine war is actually a jihad against Venezuelan 'narcoterrorists,' even though fentanyl overdoses—actual American enemies—come from Mexico. Congress now questions if boating casualties in a swampy legal quagmire count as war crimes or just alternate facts.
