Just five months after President Donald Trump and his allies appeared indignant over a video in which six congressional Democrats warned service members not to obey illegal orders, Trump is showing exactly what they were talking about.
He’s set an 8 p.m. ET Tuesday deadline for Iran to agree to a deal and re-open the Strait of Hormuz. Otherwise, Trump has repeatedly said, he will strike Iranian infrastructure sites including power plants, bridges, oil wells and possibly others like water desalination plants in ways that could well amount to war crimes.
It remains to be seen whether he follows through if there is no deal. He has repeatedly delayed his deadline, which was initially set for two weeks ago, despite little evidence of serious negotiations.
When asked Monday about possibly committing war crimes, Trump said he wasn’t worried about it.
“You know the war crime?” he told reporters at the White House. “The war crime is allowing Iran to have a nuclear weapon.”
What utter bovine excrement
ReplyDeleteThe same people wringing their hands over "American war crimes" had nothing to say when Hamas held their pogrom, when Hezbollah started firing rockets at Israel, when the Houthis tried to shut down Red Sea shipping and when Iran repeatedly used cluster weapons and targets civilian sites. All that is okay but the American response? War crime!
And iran's fast holocaust of 50,000 - 100,000 protestors in a few weeks - even puts Tiananmen sq. to shame.
