This is like watching a slow motion train wreck. Except there's no physical momentum involved. It can be stopped simply by stopping it.

Yet it lumbers on toward disaster.

He literally told us that the objective is to “wipe out their whole civilization”. If that isn’t a crime against humanity, the most fundamental of war crimes, nothing is.

Even the threat itself, made by a leader etc. during war, could make Trump criminally liable, even if it’s not acted upon. Might stop him coming to the UK at least. (I expect he’ll retire to Russia anyway)

@jmeosbn @mattblaze If we tried to charge any American politicians or officials with war crimes, the Home Secretary and the Prime Minister, along with some senior civil servants, would have sanctions applied by the American regime, and the American tech giants would be forced to deny those individuals access to their apps on their Android/iPhone mobile phones; to email, Office, and SharePoint if they're using M365; and to AI (the UK Government loves AI).
