"When it comes to the crimes of the powerful, we must always look forward."
That was the argument Obama used to NOT prosecute any CIA torturers.
And was recently used by Biden to not do anything wrt MBS for slaughtering and dismembering of Khashoggi.
(I would be extremely surprised if there were any repercussions for MBS for his crimes against humanity wrt the Yemeni people.)
Now that Donald 'Iran never won a war' Trump made clear what the US's intentions for the coming decade are, I'm going to listen to
