Yeah. According to the article, he straight up told the top military brass of the Biden administration right afterwards and they did nothing. No prosecution, no whistle-blowing to the press about a war crime. Nothing.

What do you suggest they do?

Prosecute him, of course! Maybe hit him with sanctions for directly supporting the Russian war effort? Because that's what stopping an attack on their fleet is.

Prosecute him for what?

Are you dense?

Krolden is asking specifically what crime he should be charged with, implying you would struggle to find one. This certainly isn’t treason against the US because the US is not legally involved in the war. It’s unclear from their post whether they support Ukraine or Russia in the conflict so I’d suggest taking it at face value.

Why can't you answer the question?

They already said, sabotage. I'm not going to pretend I know the law but sabotaging a military to which we are actively providing aid is likely frowned upon. Prosecution may not be a possibility though, but I imagine this is giving regulators ammo for later.

I wasn't asking you. And that still doesn't answer my question.

How does that not answer the question sabotage is literally a federal crime and it doesn't exclusively apply to the US military.

He cut off internet to a group that thought they had it while they were depending on it for an operation they already started, if that's not sabotage I don't know what is.
