This is just propaganda - how objective will this tribunal be when you know what kind of "wars of aggression" the UK, Israel or the US have done and are still doing?

And no this is not whataboutism - it's about truthfulness and moral standing. Invasion if Iraq and Afghanistan, decades of foreign policies, occupation and oppression of Palestinians, meddling and regime change of countries. If it's only a crime of aggression if the other side does it, then it's simply a farce or a show trial that will not prevent future crimes of aggression.

You are first and foremost responsible for your own actions. And only then responsible for holding others responsible.

Perhaps Britain should look in the mirror.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Let’s go UK.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

You need one of those even more for Israel, but the British political elites are active and willing accomplices in that specific Genocide.

One rule for some, another for others...

Hypocrisy is very much the core trait of the British upper classes.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Why not just throw Britain in your imaginary tribunal as well. Didn’t they place Israel in their territory and start the war 80 fucking years ago. Are you going to try Hamas and Iran for the crimes against humanity too or is that just fine in imagination land?

No because Brits are involved in Israels genocide and can be held accountable.

Britain is not involved in Russia's invasion nor supporting their war crimes.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

FUCK 47, HE BELONGS AT THOSE TRIALS TOO, IN SHACKLES, AND WITH A GUY WITH A NOOSE MEAN MUGGING HIM

The amount if killing and bomb dropped on gaza is more than those of russia ukraine like three of four time or something like that. But they cant say a single word of condemnation !

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Israel kills more civilians in Gaza in two ~~a~~ days than Russia kills in Ukraine in a month.

(Edit: checked the numbers and in 3 years Russia had killed 12,605 civilians whilst the last reliable numbers we had in Gaza - before the hospitals were destroyed - for the first 6 months in Gaza were 42,000, so the rate of civilians murdered per day by Israel is about 20x higher, so not quite "more in a day than in a month", hence my edit)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (10 children)

Russias killed far more than 12k, its well recorded there are mass graves in places such as Mariupol with a unknown number of bodies. The UN itself has specifically verified at least 30k and given the numbers of missing persons its likely to be in the hundreds of thousands.

Stop regurgitating Russian propaganda numbers.

From your own link, under "Millions displaced, thousands dead": "30,457 civilian casualties since 24 February 2022, including 10,582 killed and 19,875 injured" (emphasys mine).

I actually used a larger number I found in a different website (but I lost the link for that) because that latter article was from a later date and had the numbers for 3 years of war.

Apparently and in your own words, the UN is "regurgitating Russian propaganda numbers".

Whatever motivates you to post this, it ain't a need for Justice or an abhorrence for the murder of civilians.

Oh boo hoo I skim read something.

And fuck you for the last line, I've actively fund raised for Ukraine and have donated to Ukrainian causes along with helping Ukrainian refugees.

You seem preoccupied gaining virtue points via shoving Palestine into every single discussion about Ukraine, when lets face it as much as I do feel for the Palestinians and what Israel is doing is abhorrent HAMAS did kill over a thousand people in cold blood along with repeatedly violating cease fires which lead to a (over)reaction.

Also, being a genocide in both cases, the ratio to original population size would be relevant.

"Despite?" Should be "in light of"

The tin-foil hat person inside me is screaming that Putin directed Trump to destroy the economy and all our alliances. If he manages to fire Powell, I think he's accomplished his goals in less than 100 days.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Its not tin-foil hat, it's Putin. Its always Putin, using Skum and HitlerPig as his muscle.

When will people truly internalize that the two biggest foreign Sociopathic Oligarchs, have partnered up with the most prolific traitor in American history? None of them have any loyalty or patriotism toward America, and only see us as a big, rich, fat, lazy target to be ruthlessly exploited and looted, and it's happening in real time before our eyes.

All they care about is money, and either Putin is paying them directly out of the Russian Treasury (HitlerPig would rape and murder his own mother for far less than a billion bucks, and Putin could order a lot more than that), or they've cut a deal to split the booty like the pirates they are.

Why, what have you heard?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It looks so obvious that this is what is happening it's crazy.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It’s completely insane that so many people are in denial about this. It’s clear as fucking day that that’s what’s happening right now.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

I just want to see who profits most off any rebound. Follow the money because that is all they value. Number must go up.

How about Nuremberg style trials for the Trump administration?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

It's more likely he'll get assassinated even though it won't save democracy in the US.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It’s more likely he’ll get assassinated Of course. He caused a lot of very rich and powerful people to lose a lot of money and power. Putin, may even decide to eliminate Krasnov.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Why would he do that?

Putin is getting everything he wants from Trump.

  • Diplomatic support against Ukraine.
  • Captured & subverted Russia's historical enemy, the GOP
  • Wrecked the trust of all of the USA's allies (except Israel, go figure).
  • Devalued the dollar in a week.
  • Upended the global trade system that was "rigged" against Russia.
  • Attacking the same outgroups (LGBTQ, minorities) that Russia attacks.
  • Causing the upcoming food shortage in the USA via deportation & ending subsidies.
  • Quiet quitting NATO.

Just watch, by this time next year, Trump will have replaced timber from Canada with timber from Russia.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Entire gov top to bottom. We've needed to clean house and obviously we the people's voice isn't being heard. I'm all for a 3rd part to intervene.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Yep, we clearly can't get the job done ourselves. It's time for the grown-ups to intervene.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

How about for the American government in general?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I’m guessing Trump would be against that as well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago
[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Agreed, do Trump next! Although, we should do Russia first, as I think what will turn up during that investigation is going to be... very relevant.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Now this is the galaxy brain response right here 😉

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Por que los dos?

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 week ago (1 children)

as Russian assets, they would qualify

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Ya know....

When it's comes out in the wash and these fuckers have cuffs on in the mean time, their Russian ties will put them in prison alone. Wild thought, hope it happens.

[–] [email protected] 85 points 1 week ago

As an American, I support both.

Who gives a shit if Trump is in opposition when they (we, I’m American) are purposely fucking up global trade?
