And yet most western leaders are condoning it.
Weâre so fucked. If international law wasnât 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.
Yeah, weâre just finding out this whole thing was a circus to make us believe there was some form of order and justice. Clearly there isnât. What are we gonna do about it now that weâre 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 theyâll just LET US? No. Weâre beyond fucked.
Nobody will want to give up their comfort to protest any of this. Itâs just brown people getting killed anyway, amirite? (Of course Iâm being sarcastic with this sentence just in case some people think Iâm 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 âfinding outâ after âfucking aroundâ on the global stage.
We all better be crossing our fingers folks. Hope that our action takes us far enough. But I just go outside, look at some of the people in this world, and there is still too many people fucking asleep.
Groceries and everything else is already expensive thanks to Trumpâs policies. You think gas prices would change anything?
Infrastructure is so reliant on cars in the US, and even Canada. Mass amounts of people canât get groceries w/o a car. Canât 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.
Nope; âinternational lawâ instead let the United States exploit it and fuck things up.
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 âcoalitionâ 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 âmade an example ofâ via brutal federal actions, and all the other blue states are stayin pretty quiet / arenât stoppin it. Israel/USA stuff in Iran is basically the same playbook on an international stage.
Most western leaders donât want to be next.
Some are tired.
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.Â
Itâs pointless to make statements like these if the boots donât follow the lips.Â
Australia lined up its support almost immediately đ

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 doesnât 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 âhealthiest prĂ©sidentâ would play fail and old arguing that he canât stand trial. Pinochet did that and it worked.
Lead poisoning.
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 thereâs no justice on America anymore. Weâre so fucking great againâŠbecause rich men can do whatever the fuck they want doâŠstill. They wonât be punished. Which is why America is a FAILED experiment.
The sky is blue. Go figure
add it to the miles long
lostlist of âshit nothing will be done aboutâDonald Trump upgaded his status from âLocal criminalâ to âInternational criminalâ. Benjamin Netanyahu is already International War Criminal.
The mental gymnastics from this administration when China invades Taiwan are going to be a sight to behold.
You assume this administration wonât 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.
Experts, but not the politicians.
Yeah, right, noted.
