He created the situation he needed to escape from. That’s textbook offense. You don’t get to create confrontation and call it defense.

Sure we would… We can’t even keep from executing innocent people in the current system and you want to make it easier to convict innocent people.
or approaches an apparently harmless object or performs an apparently safe act.
You’re forgetting a couple or statements there. These were absolutely booby traps and command detonated traps exist.
No. The distribution is as indiscriminate as leaving command detonated mines in place. (also a war crime). You cannot ensure those mines only target combatants after you leave. The indiscriminate distribution is a war crime as much as the indiscriminate activation.
We can’t leave mines out in a place all the civilians have left because they might one day get found by a civilian. Actively introducing bombs to the public market is absolutely a war crime.
Hi, I’m definitely not a pacifist. I’ve been in war zones. And the laws of war exist for a reason. The choice is not war crimes or pacifism. Anyone telling you that is a shit person trying to make you a shit person. Don’t listen to them.
She released a statement too. I could say her boss demanded a united show or her campaign staff was getting bothered by AIPAC with a month left in the campaign but that would be the same as people excusing Trump’s 5d chess bullshit. The best I can give people is she’s the American VP and she’s going to care that a terrorist who killed Americans died.
It’s not great optics that’s for sure.
Harris’ statement for anyone curious, before they accuse her of being pro-Israel for saying this.
Hassan Nasrallah was a terrorist with American blood on his hands. Across decades, his leadership of Hezbollah destabilized the Middle East and led to the killing of countless innocent people in Lebanon, Israel, Syria, and around the world. Today, Hezbollah’s victims have a measure of justice.
I have an unwavering commitment to the security of Israel. I will always support Israel’s right to defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.
President Biden and I do not want to see conflict in the Middle East escalate into a broader regional war. We have been working on a diplomatic solution along the Israel-Lebanon border so that people can safely return home on both sides of that border. Diplomacy remains the best path forward to protect civilians and achieve lasting stability in the region.
She, and probably Biden are clearly referencing the American POV. Would I love to see her release another statement telling Netanyahu he has to stop this and give Palestinians freedom? Yeah. But I’m also not going to pretend the US doesn’t want to get bad guys who’ve killed Americans.
It’s already a really bad standard. There’s people who have had the same trial 4 times and there was more than reasonable doubt as to their guilt. If the prosecutor wanted to try Rittenhouse again he could have. And loosening this standard will only make it easier to put innocent people in prison.
And then we all grabbed a gun and actually killed people.
Oh wait.
And no. There is no self defense claim when you instigated it.
Even if contributions guaranteed policy that still speaks to my point of an elite that wants to support an apartheid government and a people waking up and getting mad about it.
The government and our laws really aren’t that put together. If he were to defect there would be no visible reaction to us. And the stuff we couldn’t see would be purely defensive, waiting to see what he could actually compromise and then trying to stay ahead of that. That’s what we have systems and procedures for and that’s what the government runs on.
Yup. Although to be fair it was always there lurking. There was always a part of America that dreamed about killing, exiling, and/or enslaving half the country.
There’s a massive difference between watching someone commit arson and watching a document get delivered that turns everything into a RICO case. You’d never know unless you knew the business details.
he has to set all this in motion before a guilty verdict is delivered.
Well that ship sailed.
They aren’t assassins. They’ve spent up to a quarter of their career keeping this guy alive, they aren’t going to turn around and shoot him. In the highly unlikely case Trump let it be known that he actually had a photographic memory and wanted to write it all down for Putin the secret service would simply be recalled. And his plane would fall apart mid-air, as they tend to do when the CIA or FIS (Russian flavor) gets involved.
Most likely scenario is we all remember Trump didn’t even read his intel folders and we wave a fond bon voyage while offering free tickets to Russia for any die hard MAGA fans who want to go with him.
No. Just no. It’s to prevent someone from un-aliving them for stuff they did as President.
Don’t be disingenuous.
