> he brought these attacks with his war

I'm no Trump supporter and this war was a big mistake, but justifying a nation poisoning another's civilian water supply is a bit upside down.

We don't follow "rules" in war anymore, according to "Secretary of War" Pete Hegseth. We show no quarter and take no prisoners, we pursue "maximum lethality, not tepid legality."

That's American policy now. The gloves are off, no holds barred, everything and everyone is on the table. So I guess we reap what we sow.

Yeah, what could we possibly have done[0] to justify an attack on our water supply?
