We’re so fucked. If international law wasn’t upheld for Palestine, why would it for an illegal invasion of Iran? The collapse of the west and simultaneous rise of the law of the jungle would be its own undoing.
The upholding of international law always depended on the existence of a n international rules based order with some sort of enforcement authority, which generally boiled down to the potential use of force by the USA and/or ‘coalition’ forces when the USA asked other western powers to help make it seem like there was a consensus to the action.
The international experts saying they want to see the war stopped, are not prepared to risk themselves to stop that war. Nor are any other countries in the world, because the USA is so disproportionately militaristic.
Hell, Spain raised concerns, and the Diapered Dictator Leader of the American people, declared all trade cut.
The US, internally even, is being subjected to the same stuff. Minnesota is basically being “made an example of” via brutal federal actions, and all the other blue states are stayin pretty quiet / aren’t stoppin it. Israel/USA stuff in Iran is basically the same playbook on an international stage.
Yeah, we’re just finding out this whole thing was a circus to make us believe there was some form of order and justice. Clearly there isn’t. What are we gonna do about it now that we’re all wage slaves struggling to pay our bills?
Think we can organize a global strike? Bring the world economy to a standstill? Create new political parties and try to take over through democratic means? You think they’ll just LET US? No. We’re beyond fucked.
Nobody will want to give up their comfort to protest any of this. It’s just brown people getting killed anyway, amirite? (Of course I’m being sarcastic with this sentence just in case some people think I’m being literal.)
up until the forced drafting starts will people actually put up or shut up and die when they are guaranteed to lose their comfort by default and get shipped off to a forever war in Iran and countries that allow Iranian forces to use their land.
Hopefully escalating gas prices will be enough to get people out there first. Americans are not used to feeling the repercussions of “finding out” after “fucking around” on the global stage.
We all better be crossing our fingers folks. Hope that our action takes use far enough. But I just go outside, look at some of the people in this world, and they’re still so fucking asleep.
Infrastructure is so reliant on cars in the US, and even Canada. Mass amounts of people can’t get groceries w/o a car. Can’t afford the gas to get your unaffordable groceries? Might just be another pain point in the stack, but does stack one on top of the other.

Groceries and everything else is already expensive thanks to Trump’s policies. You think gas prices would change anything?

International law never actually protected the global south, so the only real change here is how blatant America is being.
