Peter GleickJust a legal note: You don't have to be in an officially declared "war" to be guilty of international war crimes.
Gabriel N@petergleick serious question: since the US doesn’t recognize the International Court of Justice, if an American citizen is convicted of international war crimes, do they face any legal consequences at home?
anyGould@wtrmt @petergleick My (limited) understanding is that they'd be safe in the US, but would be arrested as soon as they stepped foot in an ICJ country.

A stopped clock never boils@petergleick If only there was as anyone who could hold America - or even just the guy calling the shots - to account. But we all know that after the massive fines and lengthy prison sentences for his other crimes — wait… *shit*
ideaPDishotherwise they would be, what?
Crimes?
schamspeare@petergleick No one in government will ever be held accountable again. At least no Republican. Everyone gets a free pass.
WorldTravelerAll7@petergleick very true💯
as a tiny, hopeful reminder, ex-Philippines president Duterte was arrested by Interpol & is currently in prison awaiting trial for 'Crimes Against Humanity' for his extra-judicial killings of supposed drug dealer
the next democratic administration (if we ever get one) will have to turn Dotard Tumor over
just like Brazil held Bolsonaro accountable, what Biden & Garland failed to do w/ Tumor,
& it will be We, The People, who must 𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙙 it, if it is to ever happen😤
Paul SchoeGarland has a lot of soul-searching to do.
Under his 'leadership' the DOJ failed to hold Trump accountable for January 6.
That opened the door to what the US and the world currently face.
