(St. Kits, Virgin Islands) As questions about war crimes circle Washington, Vice President JD Vance gave follow up remarks regarding his involvement in a September 2 extrajudicial air strike on a suspected drug boat. The Vice President had remarked a top Admiral ordered the strike, and he was not involved.

“I just want to clarify that, while I didn’t order that second strike everyone is talking about, which clears me of any war crimes in the Hague… I totally could have, because I was in charge of that operation.”

“If any of those drug-terrorists threatened me, or my wife, I would second strike them so hard, they wouldn’t know what hit them.”

Controversy has surrounded the strike, which would be a violation of the Geneva Convention, assuming the US had declared war, which it has not. Vance appeared to shift blame at the staff meeting with the president, having earlier said he ordered the strike.

Vance went on to clarify that, had the drug-terrorists personally threatened him, he “would be required to nunchucku them to death,” as he is a hillbilly grand master in the weapon. At that point, he explained, a girl he rescued that looks a lot like Princess Leia would ask him to marry her, which he would decline, due to honor.

The Air Force was not able to verify the nunchuku skills of the Vice President, or explain how the scenario might occur. An Air Force General who asked not to be named for fear of reprisals, said “the White House has independent sources of information outside the military, so we can’t speak to this statement.”
