Trump admin claims alleged war crimes saved ‘hundreds of millions of lives’

The Trump administration has been accused of illegally killing civilian targets in the Caribbean – something which they’ve admitted to themselves (although they dispute it being ‘illegal’).

Donald Trump and his cronies have excused their behaviour by claiming the people on the boats they blew up were ‘narco-terrorists’. And in their efforts to convince people these strikes have merit, they’re saying things like this:

Nonsense

The US isn’t just blowing up boats; it’s also murdering the survivors – a fact which puts them solidly into the realm of war crimes:

The woman speaking in the video at the top is Kirsti Noem, the US secretary of Homeland Security. She’s famous for a couple of things:

In the video above, Noem says:

You’ve saved hundreds of millions of lives with the cocaine you’ve blown up in the Caribbean.

The current population of America is around 340 million people. Either these Yanks think they’re less than two years away from extinction, or they believe there was something like ten billion Americans when the War on Drugs began. Either way, they’re the worst at maths that anyone has ever been.

To be fair, as noted above, Trump himself claimed ‘300 million people’ died from drug overdoses. As such, the servile lickspittles surrounding him have no option but to go along with his stupidity. The alternative would be to maintain some sense of dignity and to embarrass their boss.

Clearly, the Trump administration have no dignity left – and neither do the UK’s homegrown lickspittles who seek to emulate what’s happening over there:
