War

The US has something called the American Service Members Protection Act where it authorizes the use of force to free any American citizen(s) held by the ICC.

"The Act gives the President power to use "all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court".[2]" - Wiki

Israel also hates the ICC because they call out Israeli war crimes in the illegal occupied territories.
Neither are members of the ICC.



In other words;

lol thats what i mean. And i doubt the ICC would ever go after israel or the U.S and were the ones giving them the ammo, getting involved is always the first mistake. I guess it doesnt matter at this point. Shits hit the fan. This war will go on for years and engulf who knows how many countries. It already looks like it will impact elections everywhere too

its gonna be funny as hell when trump takes a position to the left of democrats on it
been following DT's "evolution" on the topic
he was first saying how smart Hamas was right after their operation
recent comments were that this war has to play out, which seems equivalent to green lighting the removal of Hamas from Ghaza
sounds dead center aligned with the Biden doctrine, America is reunited

Ive said it all along. A treaty. Russia will give back all the land they occupied(maybe not Crimea) and Ukraine will agree to not ever join NATO. Glad it only costed half a million lives for nothing

As a Russian i know over here put it. In their eyes its not a war against Ukraine, its a war against America

Hubris is one of the many stumbling blocks of every fallen, failed empire in history. Rome among them. The British empire, too.

The Taliban and the Vietcong/NVA both come to mind as rag-tag examples of militias that handed Aunt Sam his ass.

Convictions and commitment to one's homeland will almost always trump hubris and fancy shiny equipment built by the lowest bidder.

And there are several countries that are miles ahead of the US when it comes to hyper-sonic weaponry that actually works.

never in a real war, though. bullshit "police actions" where politicians did not let the military do its job. if shit really starts with Russia (which i doubt they really want) it won't last three weeks. JMHO
Lol im sure Napoleon thought the same thing
it won't be a ground war inside of Russia with winter coming on, lol...Bonaparte was an egotistical damned fool, just like Adolph Hitler. neither of them would listen to good advice from more intelligent people under their command.

War films are still much more popular than films about peace - humanity still seems to lust for violence in its many forms - which alas could well herald the 'end of days' - so long as UFC - boxing and bum fights are more interesting to attend - than 'give peace a chance' cake festivals - sadly - it'll ever be the way -
