They didn’t kill the smugglers extrajudicially, though, which is a big difference.
That's how you differentiate old empires from the curent ones: they are tired of all this killing.
What do you think about Obama killing an American citizen via drone extrajudicially?
Why does that matter? Does that excuse or justify these extrajudicial killings (murders?) in any way?
It was an unforgivable crime, obviously. Much like these war crimes.
We don't know if the Trump admin is killing American citizens in these. They don't know who they are killing either. Maybe the first step to pointing a weapon is knowing who you are pointing it at.
war is extrajudicial
America isn't at war.

As fucked up as the situation is, they were warned that they would be blown up if they tried it.
Giving warning you are going to violate international law doesn't make it any less illegal or immoral.
