Trump's perverse ambition [9] to win the Nobel Peace Prize was given a boost by his "winning" of the first "FIFA Peace Prize"—just as he is carrying out illegal deadly air-strikes [10] in the Caribbean, and threatening Venezuela [11] with war. "Secretary of War" Pete Hegseth is denying [12] claims that he gave worders to "kill them all [13]" in the strikes, but Congress is preparing an investigation [14]. Regardless of whether this order was given, the strikes are clearly illegal under the international laws of war—as the Pentagon opens an investigation [15] into Sen. Mark Kelly for his video [16] calling for troops to refuse illegal orders. Trump—who pardoned [17] soldiers convicted of war crimes in his first term—has called [18] for Kelly to be hanged for sedition. In Episode 307 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg continues to be flabbergasted by the Orwellian war-is-peace propaganda.
