Maybe I'm missing something but when you strike a tanker you either

A. Strike the engines, where civilains are working

B. The cockpit, where civilians are working

C. Cargo, which in this case is oil, then goes where, into the water and kills everything?

Seems like a "military target" where only innoncents are hurt. Then again; I guess that's all war.

Bro, we've been outright murdering people in small boats with no evidence for a while now. They don't consider non-rich folks people.

I thought the senate said Trump couldn't unilaterally start a war anymore...

That was a different war. This is a new one. The clock resets!
