@LarsFosdal @jeffjarvis Only the public seem to do the regretting. Incumbents in teh White House largely immune from the effect of their actions.

@jeffjarvis Trump's attack is no different from Mussolini's attack on Abyssinia, Hitler's attack on Poland, Hirohito's attack on Pearl Harbor, Bush's attack on Afghanistan and Iraq, and Putin's attack on Ukraine. It is an unacceptable crime and should be interpreted as such. The international consequences are terrible, and that is what should concern us now.

@jeffjarvis has been so since the age of dawn or so.

And so many more.
The US has never followed any international laws when it thought it benefits them to break them. Trump is just continuing this.
Presidents have told soldiers to kill, without evidence, without court cases, without legitimacy.
Trump and Vance said they do not want this and were partially elected because of that. Another lie, another broken promise. But who counts, MAGA does not.

@daniele_Hesse @jeffjarvis Musk himself now promotes the story of universities rejecting smart scientists because they're straight white males. Sounds fun because it's exactly what racist bigotry and injustice is, it just came from alleged... victims.

You just realized it?

Strictly speaking, good old USA never cared about international law that much, but you didn't flaunt it that much daily as you do under #Trump

@jeffjarvis US should be removed from the Security Council until war criminals are turned over to Hague.
Show threadHelgi CrookehorneJan 3
@jhavok @jeffjarvis but there's no way to do it, it was compromise for the existing empires back then. Who will remove some France that controls so many African countries? That meant major interplanetary war that even Stalin and Churchil can't manage together

Show threadcontrasocialJan 3

@jeffjarvis

That's the norm now. The techno-fascist nations and groups that felt isolated and restricted by international law have waged a global campaign for the better part of 20 years to help bring about this context.

It's going to be rogue states all the way down, US was just prioritized as the biggest domino. Welcome to the "multipolar world" (see; euphemism for boot on human face forever, everywhere).

@jeffjarvis it started when Obama stated the Budapest Memorandum obligations that cite all UN Charter, authority of the UN SC and the NPT are void... because it's not ratified by the Congress (lol) and it was assurances not guarantees (lol) and seeking action means nobody finds it even (ROFL!)
