The mental gymnastics from this administration when China invades Taiwan are going to be a slight to behold.
You assume this administration won’t be the one to invade Taiwan. Crazy nonsense like that is how they keep us on our toes.
Any day now
Experts worldwide would also tell you that international laws are actually not legally binding; more like a guideline. Russia, Israel and US have never been held accountable for their own imperialism for over twenty years. So this news is non-news.
OK. There is agreement by human rights experts that Israel is a genocidal state which has committed crimes against humanity. Anything after that is just sprinkles.
Trump has already said he doesn’t care about their own courts, what will he care about international courts.
Even if he was toppled right now and tried for his crimes, the “healthiest président” would play fail and old arguing that he can’t stand trial. Pinochet did that and it worked.
Lead poisoning.
Donald Trump upgaded his status from “Local criminal” to “International criminal”. Benjamin Netanyahu is already International War Criminal.
So? When is someone going to declare our US President an international war criminal and invade DC? Never. When will our current government face repercussions? Only if there is a hell, because there’s no justice on America anymore. We’re so fucking great again…because rich men can do whatever the fuck they want do…still. They won’t be punished. Which is why America is a FAILED experiment.
Yeah, right, noted.
And yet most western leaders are condoning it.
Most western leaders don’t want to be next.
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.
Groceries and everything else is already expensive thanks to Trump’s policies. You think gas prices would change anything?
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.
International law never actually protected the global south, so the only real change here is how blatant America is being.
The leader of NATO could not help himself but rimming the orange toddler
Ok. But Canada, France, UK supports it. And probably more countries, too. So… whatever.
It’s pointless to make statements like these if the boots don’t follow the lips.
Australia lined up its support almost immediately 😞

The sky is blue. Go figure
add it to the miles long lost of “shit nothing will be done about”
Experts, but not the politicians.
