    What the actual fuck? The US has turned into a parody of itself. It's sad to see.

    It is my first belief that this is the point.

    And Putin is quite happy.

    Yes, Putin probably enjoys this, but this is not trump alone. He has the support of the whole republican party, or at least 95% of it.

    The americans knew the ship was coming for a military exercise without ammunition, they couldn't just seize it and captured everyone and got the ship? I'm missing something?

    It's weird how the US is turning into everything it fought against. Was fun while it lasted.

    This is the US and it always has been. The current administration is just stupider than previous ones. They don’t realize that hiding US war crimes served a purpose. They think bragging about their depravity will halt American decline. In reality, it will do the opposite as people like you lose faith in the inherent virtue of the American project.

    This is just the start. The old world broke once russia invaded Ukraine and we did nothing. Now other countries have realized that the world wont do anything if they also attack. Expansion has once again started. I expect Taiwan to be finished by summer too.

    I get this vibe that no one knows what’s going on anymore and everything is just running on the fumes of the zeitgeist and conspiracy theories.

    I find the fact that the whole world “knows” that China will invade Taiwan in 2027 to be really strange. And this has been the case for years. It feels like certain groups are taking it as a foregone conclusion.

    What old world? The US committing war crimes is par for the course. This is the same kind of shit the US did in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, and more. The cruelty is the point. The difference now is that the current administration is too stupid to lie about it.

    It's in the same category as the Highway of Death, where it's not technically a war crime, but it's close enough to one that you get the feeling that it should be.

    It's a moot point anyway, as even if the girls school bombing and any other reported attacks on civilian targets were completely accidental and unintentional, the following two crimes would still have been committed by the Amero-Israeli politicians and brass:

    1. Participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of a crime against peace
    2. Planning, initiating and waging wars of aggression and other crimes against peace

    Rudolph Hess was found guilty of the above two crimes (but not to war crimes or crimes against humanity) at Nuremberg and sentenced to life in prison. War crimes and crimes against humanity are very provable against a lot of the Israeli brass and political elite, as well as the American political elite, and those crimes were often met with a sentence of execution.

    It's very unlikely that we'll get a Nuremburg out of this whole thing, but the legal precedent is quite clear.

    So we blew up a ship because it belonged to the wrong country and not because it was a threat?

    It sure sounds like our country is at war with their country. Good thing my super trustworthy government got out ahead of that one and told us it's not a war.

    The US desperately needs to change the regime, because otherwise they know the same will happen to their oil tankers eventually.
