Excellent work, but calling for the soldiers to be arrested is a little much, n'est pas? I mean, the guy they arrested was a legit baddie, and taking those kind of people out using military force has been morally permissible for decades now.

The *real* problem is that this was done unilaterally, without international consensus. But that is also true for other recent administrations.

I agree this expands executive overreach in a worrying way. What weakens the argument is calling for immediate impeachment as if this breach exists in isolation. Presidents of both parties have ignored Congress’s war powers for decades, often with little objection from the same circles now demanding removal. If this action crosses a new line, that distinction needs to be clearly articulated, otherwise the call for impeachment looks selective rather than principled.

As a talented cartoonist you should be illustrating how *this* "murdering of innocent people" is categorically different than when Obama did it with drones or when Bush did it with tanks or when Clinton did it with blackhawks.

Otherwise your calls for impeachment look like selective team sports rather than principled politics.

What you say is true. But remember, it started with a Biden blinken sullivan genocide, a crime which has never been addressed, and the primary reason we have Trump and this persistent problem today.
