The conspiracy brain tells me some swiss diplomat pulled these from Trump’s own safety deposit box as a “we have the skeletons from your closet”-statement and handed them to him as a “diplomatic gift” when it actually was just a threat that he caved to.




I don’t see where it’s clarified that the ship was unarmed or if that would make it somehow not a military target? It’s not a civilian ship, it’s a military vessel.
Call me crazy, but in a race of most-illegal, attacking a legal target in an illegal war seems like a pretty low hanging fruit. A lot of making something out of nothing vibe when there’s plenty of somethings to actually talk about.
Again, assuming I didn’t miss where it’s outlined that this isn’t the case, but a WARship being attacked by another WARship (submarine if there’s a technical difference but that’s not my point) in a WAR just doesn’t seem like an ethical dilemma beyond the shitty reasons for the illegal war in the first place.
