How is this not resulting in an immediate referral to The Hague?
Outright murder by a national military.
There was, and still is, no declared war between the USA and Iran, the Iranian ship was unarmed and defenceless, no succour was offered for survivors, and the action took place in international waters.
This action was every bit as bad as the attack on Pearl Harbour.
The USA is a rogue, pariah state run by a Congress and Executive who are criminals.
@PeterLG that’s outright incompetence by the Iranians if true — and I doubt that it is. I am unaware of *any* warship that leaves port without ammunition. Who does this? Second, if you don’t have any ammunition why the fuck are you leaving port to return back through an active war zone? After days of watching the ships get sunk, what exactly did you think was going to happen? Third, how would anyone know that it didn’t have any ammunition? It’s all held inside.
I’m all for criticizing the United States here, but this really a stupid take.
You might as well say, “When you don’t think about it, a school and a warship are exactly the same thing.”
@jonathankoren @PeterLG I see other apologists of the US army on Youtube and X saying the same: "Oh of course it was armed, this proves you don't know anything about war" argument.
Well sure, let's say that it was armed. Do you still see how horrible it is?
I think all it proves is that you're not very serious about questioning the murder of 130+ people at sea, left to drown. No warning calls made to the coast guard to show respect of enemy military colleagues. This is barbarism, nothing else.
@jonathankoren @PeterLG This cheap/cynical mass-murder alone cost 8x the amount of lives that the US, the aggressor and instigator, has suffered in total. This is almost cost-free for "no-boots" US. And because the US is lead by a criminal, there's no moral restraints. The only restraint possible is one that a true criminal can understand.
They'll happily murder many many thousands and displace millions. We know. That's why we're objecting and using simple, materialized evidence.
