    He won’t.

    The White House has defended Hegseth’s orders, alleging that after drug trafficking groups were dubbed foreign terrorist organizations, lethal strikes were legal.

    That’s a warning to EVERYONE else - if you don’t cooperate, we’ll designate you a terrorist, and simply kill you with no further explanation.

    Doing it to random foreigners is just normalizing it for the American people, so they’ll stop worrying about it. It’s just a matter of time before they start using this justification on Americans. They have already designated “ANTIFA Ost” (ANTIFA East), a German outfit, as a terrorist organization, so that’s probably good enough to include anyone they consider to be ANTIFA, which we already know could be anyone.

    Remember, the first person to speak on the House Floor after Congress re-comvemed on the night of January 6, was Matt Gaetz, and he told a bold-faced lie: that he was in touch with sources that assured him that the entire incident was caused by ANTIFA.

    It’s their favorite Boogeyman, and they are going to paint every political opponent as ANTIFA, and then do whatever they want to them, up to and including having the military blow them up.
