How about we call for his arrest and trial?
yes - as a war criminal for ordering the murder of Yemeni citizens
Yep its rather disgusting how lots of people frame these things to just criticize his unprofessionalism and gloss over and ignore the war crimes.
rampant war crimes aren't surprising; the US has been doing that for forever. But there used to be the veneer of competence, so I understand why that's the part that's getting the focus.
Considereding the Hague invasion clause is still in place in the U.S.A it's not surprising.
No one has ever been meaningfully punished there for war crimes or mass murder but if you're incompetent/ a leaker the state department is on your ass quick.
I mean ffs the democratic party threw anti genocide protestors under the bus rather then critique Israel over its ongoing genocide. It's honestly just a reflection of what seems to be the average American mentality.
Probably because criticizing the US for war crimes leads to Democrats too
There are reasons the US doesn't give a shit about the ICC
The one who gave him that job needs to be held accountable as well.
No need, these days you just get a bunch of people in black and secret him away in a van.
