Rights groups have slammed Pete Hegseth for saying that “no quarter” will be shown to Iran.

"No quarter" includes executing people who've surrendered.

The mere announcement from a govt official can be a war crime.

Such threats are illegal under the Hague Convention & US domestic laws & military manuals.

Hegseth has publicly claimed he would not abide by “stupid rules of engagement”

@DrALJONES The very people who should prosecute simply won't do it.

@EndicottAuthor

Exactly. That's how fascism works.

Spread the word - too many, dare I say mainly Americans, still believe in Good Daddies who would prosecute baddies if only they knew...

@DrALJONES @EndicottAuthor I’m advocating funding stem cell research for regrowing politicians spines! Or forbid mollusks from running for office!

Both sides have been owned by the same oligarch donors for decades.
