Under international law leaders who have aided and assisted the commission of internationally wrongful acts that amount to international crimes should be investigated and prosecuted.
"South Vietnam requested America for help."
Who created South Vietnam, Daniel?
Tell me. Take your time. Go look it up. I'll wait.
South Vietnam was not a country.
It was a administrative line drawn at the 17th parallel by the 1954 Geneva Accords as a temporary demarcation pending a national reunification election in 1956.
It was never intended to be a permanent border.
It was never intended to be two countries.
Every party at Geneva understood this. The documents say this explicitly.
The United States prevented that election from happening.
Why? Eisenhower wrote it himself, in his own memoir: American intelligence estimated Hồ Chí Minh would win roughly 80 percent of the vote.
So Washington cancelled the election, installed Ngô Đình Diệm, a Catholic mandarin who had spent years living in New Jersey, as the leader of a "country" that had been invented specifically to prevent the Vietnamese people from choosing their own government.
Then that invented country, run by an American-installed leader, "requested American help."
Do you understand what you just said? You used a puppet requesting help from its puppeteer as your moral justification.
That's not sovereignty. That's a ventriloquist act. And you're applauding the dummy for having opinions.
And Hồ Chí Minh "started this war with Chinese communist help"?
Hồ Chí Minh was writing to Woodrow Wilson in 1919, at the Paris Peace Conference, appealing for Vietnamese independence based on Wilson's own Fourteen Points.
Wilson never responded.
The man believed in American ideals before most Americans were willing to apply them to non-white people.
In 1945, when he declared Vietnamese independence, he opened the declaration with direct quotes from the American Declaration of Independence.
He reached out to the United States for support.
The OSS, the precursor to the CIA, had officers working alongside the Việt Minh against the Japanese. They liked Hồ Chí Minh. Their field reports described him as a nationalist first.
But Washington made a choice.
France was a European ally that needed to be kept stable for NATO.
So America funded France's attempt to re-colonize Vietnam.
Eighty percent of the cost of the French Indochina War was paid by U.S. taxpayers.
The CIA was operating in Vietnam before most Americans had ever heard of the place. Edward Lansdale was running psychological operations and building paramilitary networks in the early 1950s.
The Phoenix Program, which systematically tortured and assassinated tens of thousands of Vietnamese civilians, was a CIA operation.
So when you say Hồ Chí Minh started it with outside help, you are describing America's role more accurately than his.
"You should be grateful your enemies were Americans."
This is the single most revealing sentence in your reply. Genuinely. Frame it out and look at it.
You are telling the Vietnamese people to be grateful for how they were destroyed.
Grateful for 3 million dead.
Grateful for Agent Orange that is still producing disabled children in 2026.
Grateful for Mỹ Lai.
Grateful for the bombing of hospitals.
Grateful for the embargo that strangled reconstruction for nineteen years after the war ended.
Because it could have been worse.
This is the logic of the abuser who says "you should be grateful I didn't hit you harder."
No. We are not grateful.
We won.
Gratitude goes in the other direction.
If anyone should be reflecting quietly on how things went, it is not the Vietnamese.
You said "don't start a war with Americans."
We didn't start anything.
We were a colonized people who wanted our country back.
First from the French, who had occupied us for nearly a century.
Then from the Americans, who funded the French, then replaced them when the French lost.
We didn't come to America. America came to us.
We didn't choose this. We chose to survive it.
And we did.
That's not a threat. That's not aggression. That's just history.
History that already happened.
History that ended one way and not the other.
You can look up which way on April 30, 1975.
Just to clarify, since some don’t seem to understand: 1) This death sentence will be delivered by military courts, there’s no jury, no representation 2) These military courts try Palestinian children 3) A child who throws a stone can be deemed a “terrorist” and now put to death.
I know the Nazi card is overused and almost never applies, but what the Israeli Knesset has overwhelmingly voted for today, a law to mass murder Palestinian detainees- prisoners who, inconveniently, cannot just be bombed in Gaza or shot in the streets- a law introduced by a genocidal minister with an international arrest warrant, is the most dystopian and evil shit perhaps any country has done since Nazi Germany.
Dear UN Member States,
As I prepare to deliver my 8th report to the UN, I reiterate: Israel poses a threat to international peace and security.
I have documented its most egregious crimes. Now the obligation to act, and stop it, sparing innocent lives, rests with you.
Increíble como al fallo de la CSJ que declara INCONSTITUCIONAL (no 1, si no 2 veces) la concesión/contrato minero y ordena a priorizar salud y medio ambiente vs el extractivismo le dan la vuelta gob., medios, periodistas y comunicadores. Mientras el de Hutchinson aplicado en 2x3
The US/Israeli carpet-bombing of Iran is a war crime under the Geneva Convention, and an abomination. They are massacring civilians in their homes. It is unacceptable for European leaders to join the invasion. Indeed they are obligated to do everything in their power to stop it.
The Hague Group has been the political silver lining of the past year. May this mark the start of a new, DECOLONISED MULTILATERALISM: where every state is equal, sovereignty is respected, and human rights are upheld consistently and universally, not cherrypicked when convenient.
Lo que está pasando en Palestina es un genocidio. Y frente a eso no caben ambigüedades.
En el Grupo de La Haya pasamos de 9 a 40 Estados hablando de rendición de cuentas. Con @ProgIntl y @EmbcolPBajos, quedó claro que la responsabilidad no se delega ni se aplaza.
Iran’s regime is illiberal and brutal, and the Iranian people deserve the freedom they have long fought for. This gives no right to the US or Israel -whose own policies in Palestine are also illiberal and brutal- to bomb Iran, nor to EU leaders to cloak escalation in hypocrisy.
There will be some outrage the first time Israel & the US carry out a massacre in Iran, such as the 153 school children slaughtered on Saturday.
And then there will be a 2nd massacre at a school, hospital, mosque or playground, high rise apartment building, etc.
And then a 3rd, 4th, 5th. By the nth massacre, the US-Israel axis of evil will have totally normalized mass murdering civilians that mainstream media will move on.
***Of course, every mass casualty event in Israel will be a top headline in the mainstream media in the west.
Proportionate? Iran's not trying to be proportionate. Proportionate would be for Iran to kill Trump. Kill his entire cabinet. Kill his opposition. Bomb the shit out of New York and Los Angeles. Bomb a school full of American kids. Bomb some hospitals. That would be proportionate.
The US and Israel are bombing schools, hospitals (nine hospitals) and other civilian facilities in Iran. They have massacred over 700 civilians, including nearly 200 children. Absolute genocidal monsters.
Después de un buen rato iterando con @grok sobre su criterio para hace fast checking a noticias confusas en Irán me ha reconocido esto...
Prioriza usuarios verificados y alto engadgement antes que medios o agencias. Es decir, la opinión de los usuarios que pagan es la que crea tendencia y sesga el algoritmo
Nada más que añadir
perdón por mi opinión de extrema izquierda pero me parece que el mundo no lo deberían gobernar pedófilos guerreristas y Estados Unidos e Israel no deberían tener derecho a bombardear cualquier país cualquier día bajo cualquier argumento
For over two years Palestinians in Gaza had no defenses from Israel’s relentless bombardment, but I don’t remember you describing it as a “horror story.”
It is wild that European countries want to join a war that was started illegally by and for a man who is wanted for war crimes and genocide by their *own* institutions.
We warned you: the wholesale destruction of Gaza was not an exception, it was a blueprint to crush anyone who opposes the plutocratic imperialism embodied by US/Israel and their global allies.
Act now: defend int'l law from lawlessness, before the rupture becomes irreversible.
