Iran

[Ritzwatch]

Can you link to when the story originally broke?

I think you have me on ignore, but if you don't, here is a link to Newsweek citing a 2024 confession by an Iranian who said he was tasked with doing the deed. Take it for what it is worth, I haven't looked into it any further than trying to see if indeed there was news about Iranian attempts on Trump's life.

Fact Check: Did Iran try to assassinate Donald Trump?

As tensions rise after Israeli airstrikes on Iran's nuclear sites, Prime Minister Netanyahu accused Iran of plotting against the U.S. president.

Umm isn’t it the government that decides what’s legal and what’s not?

The US military and cic are not the final day for the law. Sure it would be a rough fight but the court would ultimately decide.

I think we should just let the UN decide.

War crimes aren't only decided in the USA

 

[volfanhill]

War crimes aren't only decided in the USA

Yes but accuracy matters. For example it's against the law to attack a military hospital. Well if you start using your military hospital as a place to store weapons and other actions that aren't hospital related then it's a legitimate target. And the people to blame isn't the ones who attack it but the ones who turn it into something besides a hospital

The judicial branch is still the government, especially when you factor in just how politicized it has become.

Yeah and the court is part of the government last I saw.

Best idea I’ve heard

You guys need to quit arguing with someone so much smarter than you.

US troops are committing war crimes? I’m not following.

I'm a Yeti, which makes me the most intelligent being in the room. It's also why I should be the arbiter of war crimes.

Ok. It's still an important check. POTUS is over the military. He can't legally do anything to SCOTUS

You are good for making Betty smile. Nothing more, nothing less.

Don't step outside your box, Weez. Do what you were called to do. Then, stop.

No one said it wasn't "important". But SCOTUS plays politics now just like the other branches.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Moral of the story is don't give @hog88 or @McDad a piggy back ride.

Beer came out my nose.

You just committed a war crime. Expect a call from The Hague.

 

[allstar34]

War crimes aren't only decided in the USA

What's the punishment for a war crime for the US? Do we have to give out Tariff Coupons? War Crimes is a catch phrase for nations that are small enough to be policed.

I ain't skeered of the Hague. I'm Amurican, dammit!
With Confederate heritage, to boot!











(and Yankee, but we try to not focus on that.)

 

[MOOOOONEY]

In the hospital right now (again). Been a rough patch. Diverticulitis, perforated colon, abscesses... that kind of fun stuff lol.

I’ll take you offshore to catch giant bluefins sometime… no guarantees you’ll make if back if you talk politics though.

Sorry to hear that.

Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Here are the known facts about the girls school that was bombed:

Iran claims we killed 150 school children and staff

The US and Israel say they are looking into it. Not, "This was a phony school doubling as a military installation." So smart money is on this was not a legitimate target. We won't even confirm responsibility

Was I talking about that? Was I defending that? Was anyone in that discussion? You've been broken by Trump and Israel and have lost all ability to think

 

[OrangeTsar]

Remember when a US senator broke a marine's hand for saying "nobody wants to fight for England?"

Antisemites shall receive no quarter.
Hitler always said his beliefs would resurface one day. Looks like it is coming true.

Careful, you’re real close to being #187 on the famed Huff ignore list.

The way that's worded makes it sound like it has to be intentional. "Deliberately targeted" "indiscriminate" What if they say it was an error? A mistake? If someone gets court-martialed, does that satisfy the need for justice?
