JUST SAYING: The Butcher of the Carribean Needs to be Tried for War Crimes

Posted on December 4, 2025

Pete Hegseth Faces Deepening Scrutiny From Congress Over Boat Strikes — Huffington Post

“These are serious charges, and that’s the reason we’re going to have special oversight,” said Sen. Roger Wicker, the Republican chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

JUST SAYING

BY RAUL HERNANDEZ

The Butcher of the Caribbean—Pete Hegseth—needs to be hauled off that Pentagon stage, stripped of his power, and put on trial for murder and war crimes committed in international waters. No more euphemisms. No more excuses. He ordered killings on the high seas, and people died. The world deserves accountability.

Hegseth and his orange handler are cut from the same rotten cloth—two cruel, vindictive psychopaths who seem to take pleasure in unleashing pain on the poor, the powerless, and anyone who can’t fight back. Their bloodlust masquerades as “policy,” but it’s nothing more than state-sanctioned brutality.

And the performance?

Predictable as clockwork. Hegseth clutches a Bible like a prop, drapes himself in the flag like a costume, and preaches to the Fox-fed MAGA base as if God himself rubber-stamped every atrocity. It’s all theater—a desperate plea for Trump’s approval and the applause of the cult that cheers on cruelty.

Enough.

The world sees the bodies in the water. The justice system needs to see Hegseth in the defendant’s chair.
