      Trump did this last term too, we killed their intelligence chief when he landed for peace talks with Iraq.

      This is a war crime, BTW. Attacking someone under a perceived state of truce or ceasefire is called “perfidy”.

        War crimes don’t mean anything. It is a cudgel the victor uses to do more damage after they win.

          disagree. What Israel did to the palestinians has meaning and is legally defined globally as war crimes. I am not willing to say those laws and global agreements have no real meaning.

            I hate to disagree, but laws and rules have no actual meaning if there isn’t an enforcement mechanism. Considering how long Israel and the US have been committing war crimes without even the lightest of punishment for those in charge, whatever enforcement is in place is obviously insufficient.

      For decades American kids were taught that the Japanese were the lowest of the low because they bombed Pearl Harbor with no warning, also while discussing peace.

      Trump would have heard the story over and over as a lad.

      This is the second time they’ve bombed Iran during peace talks. I know it feels like a million years, but it only happened last June.

      Who the fuck would trust America with Donald Trump on charge. Dude lies to he’s suit tailor. That’s how vain he is. Add in the fact that he’s being blackmailed into this and is a pedophile. I wouldn’t trust trump to watch my dog for an hour, let alone nuclear war.
