If it is occurring in international waters between US Armed Forces and foreign nationals of some other country, it is de facto NOT a "non-international armed conflict".
A non-international armed conflict occurs within the territory of a state and involves one or more organized non-state armed groups. The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) established that a NIAC exists when there is protracted armed violence between government authorities and organized armed groups, or between such groups themselves within the territory of the state.
They seem to be arguing that this is some kind of internal conflict where he can invoke the Insurrection Act or some nonsense.
I like this statement in the article from the Fed Chair:
"If you ask me, 'could it affect the December meeting?' I’m not saying it’s going to, but... what do you do if you’re driving in the fog? You slow down," he said.

Trump, allies reach out to Boebert, Mace ahead of Epstein discharge petition deadline thehill
President Trump and other administration officials reached out to key Republicans who have signed on to an effort to force a vote on releasing files about Jeffrey Epstein in the hours before the push was set to succeed on Wednesday.
CNN reported that Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, and FBI Director Kash Patel planned to meet with Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.).
Trump also called Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) on Wednesday morning, but she missed his call and had been playing phone tag with him as of early Wednesday afternoon, a source told The Hill, adding that there had not been outreach from White House staff.
Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) is set to become the 218th signature on a discharge petition to force a vote on the release of the files shortly after she is sworn in on Wednesday around 4 p.m. Eastern. A discharge petition allows lawmakers to bypass leadership and force a vote on a bill.
The petition succeeds, and signatories are locked in, as soon as it reaches 218 signatures — but members can remove their names up until that point.
If it succeeds, a vote would likely take place in December — unless GOP leadership squashes it through other procedural maneuvers.
Asked during a press briefing Wednesday why the administration felt the need to meet with Boebert, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt argued it showed a willingness to be transparent.
“Doesn’t it show transparency that members of the Trump administration are willing to brief members of Congress whenever they please?” Leavitt said.
“Doesn’t that show the level of transparency when we are willing to sit down with members of Congress and address their concerns?” she continued, adding that she would not detail “conversations that took place in the Situation Room.”
(WTF?! how does she keep a straight face while saying this?!)
All other Democrats and four Republicans have signed the petition: Reps. Thomas Massie (Ky.), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Boebert and Mace.
Mace told The Hill on Wednesday morning she would not remove her name from the discharge petition to release Epstein files, despite online rumors circulating that she might. She is running for governor of South Carolina in a crowded primary in which Trump has not yet endorsed.
Mace’s personal stories of domestic and sexual violence have been a major part of her political motivation and identity, which she has referenced as she’s explained her support for releasing more materials related to Epstein.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Wednesday that Jeffrey Epstein's emails referring to President Trump as the "dog that hasn't barked" prove Trump "did nothing wrong." https://abcnews.link/wnp2qCK
I'm not Pollyanna and claiming politicians used to be good at heart. But, they did have to answer to voters and while they did get away with a lot, once the news got out they typically went downhill fast.
Listen to what we are even talking about. The majority of a political party is pressuring people to vote to prevent the release of evidence of pedophiles. I don't know how a single person wants to stop that, no matter how politically driven they are. But, nearly the entire party is on board with this. Even worse, their supporters. At least the driven people are doing it for their scum-sucking career. But to support someone as your representative who is voting against the release of evidence of pedophilia is just blowing me away. How TF did we get here?

Nah, there's no threat to the republic at all. Don't be silly with that talk.

So in January 2019, Epstein emails Wolff saying Trump knew about the girls (noted to Maxwell he spent hours with a victim). Then in June 2019, Wolff publishes a book where Epstein claims Trump dropped the dime on him to Palm Beach police in 2004 over the property deal, which started the investigation. Epstein reads the book and calls Wolff “alarmed”, saying he was afraid he might have said too much. Three weeks later he’s arrested. Five weeks after that he’s dead.
