To echo Steve, this is one of the dumbest things I have ever read. Either AUSA is publishing clickbait or “the discourse” has boiled down to “here’s some words that mean nothing; reward me by publishing them”
Coin toss on which it is, tbh
Constantly reminding my watch that my death isn’t imminent, it’s just me watching Canes hockey again🤷♂️
Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
Congrats!!!

Our core mission is public education to promote awareness, understanding, and appreciation of the laws of war—one required by the Geneva Conventions.
It’s not everyday you can help the cause of a bedrock set of international treaties just by watching some videos or reading a bit.

If you’re knee-deep in Iran coverage & want to sharpen your understanding of the laws of war (AKA international humanitarian law/law of armed conflict), the Red Cross IHL Program I lead can help!
We have a great stockpile of learning tools over on our YouTube channel:

Now, attacking a vessel like this in peacetime is, perhaps, another legal story. But we’re in an international armed conflict, which means IHL/LOAC is the controlling body of international law. Under those rules, combatants and military objects aren’t protected against direct attack.
Not having weapons or ammo doesn’t meet that definition—this is why a military doesn’t have to wait to attack a soldier until they’re out on the battlefield locked and loaded. Likewise, it’s why you don’t have to wait to attack a fighter jet until it’s in the air looking for a dogfight.
The vessel and its crew were legitimate military targets under IHL. The law allows for combatants to be targeted at any time, unless they’re “hors de combat.”

1. Love this short form content!
2. The East won’t be any joke if Buffalo and Tampa keep it up, but the arms race happening out West is going to make for a wild few opening playoff rounds. I’m sure McDavid is just LOVING it.
3. All Canes fans if we end up facing DET and Faulk in the playoffs:

Reserve and National Guard troops have proportionally born far more of the brunt of combat losses over the past few years, from the USAR casualties in Jordan in 2024, the IAARNG soldiers killed in Syria in December, and now this
If someone’s complaint is really about those fundamental IHL/LOAC tenants, they’re taking a bold pro-war crime stance.
The fundamental tenants of IHL/LOAC—principles like not targeting civilians or not torturing POWs—can’t be set aside out of convenience or military necessity.
IHL says nothing of ROE; commanders can set or change them. Those in authority complaining about ROE are walking Spider-Man memes.
ROE belong to commanders to shape the battlefield—they inherently dial in the outer limits of IHL/LOAC to achieve objectives. IHL is a fundamental obligation of combatants serving all on the battlefield. ROE are tools-anyone complaining about the latter doesn’t understand what they’re talking about.
I know that the people who need to read this aren’t here, but here goes:
Rules of engagement aren’t for the enemy. They’re for you. They’re for your soldiers when they’re captured or wounded. They’re for your civilians when they’re in range of the enemy. They’re for your allies, to reassure.

Many times have I wondered if I'd ever see this in my lifetime.
I really think life would be more enjoyable if I always had hockey to watch with my coffee on Sunday mornings.
