We are an empire, we have a "rules-based order", and we make those rules on the fly. Might makes right:
Genocide isn't legal but we are doing it in Gaza, even plotting illegal population transfers of Palestinians that survive the American bombs and Israeli blockade. Iraq was destroyed on false pretenses. Obama totally wrecked Libya. Our sanctions lead Afghans to sell their kids to perverts to survive. Trump just finished giving Syria to al-Qaeda, removed sanctions, and asked them to recognize Israel. He has almost drove Iran to a nuclear bomb. This is a problem that Trump and Biden created by not adhering to the Iran deal. We might be going to war with Iran. No one will stop us. We've killed and indirectly killed over a million people since 9/11 and displaced millions:
Costs | Costs of War
Our President and former Presidents are war criminals and they aren't going to be punished by the law. They won't be because the country that tries will be destroyed. Under NATO rules the Europeans are supposed to fund their militaries at 2% of their GDP, but they don't because they have Uncle Sucker that defends them from the scary Russians. He is happy to do it for as long as he can! Just because the US Congress makes something a law like the 2001 AUMF, doesn't mean it is a good idea, and should be done. Take away the UN veto and see what happens...
Anyway, no point in continuing, I'm out. I just had one more thing to say. Have a good day!
