I've taught European history for 30 years. Americans have always asked me how the Holocaust was possible, how Germans could have enabled a madman reveling in mass murder to carry out his plans. Now we can see in real time how this is enabled; now we have front-row seats.
Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment
Threatening to target power plants and other non-military targets is not strength. If those words become orders to destroy civilian infrastructure with no valid military purpose, it’s hard to see how they would not violate the laws of armed conflict. America leads best with strength, discipline, and professionalism. Illegal orders to make civilians suffer would be a black mark on our military and our country.
After Trump's latest shocking threats, Keir Starmer faces a choice.
Withdraw US access now to UK air bases, or risk letting British soil be used to commit war crimes.
Those favoring impeachment include 14% of Republicans, 55% of independents and 84% of Democrats, according to Lake Research Partners, a firm that polled for President Biden.
My name is Harry Dunn, and in Congress, I am going to subpoena Donald Trump.
Team, I hope you’ll forgive me for being blunt, but I’m sick and tired of watching Donald Trump defile and attack the Constitution.
Excuse me Mr. President @potus@whitehouse but the Fuckin' Strait of Hormuz was Fuckin' Open for passage before you Fuckin' Started to engage in the bombing attack of Iran.
This is a deeply unwell man on a dangerous power trip, threatening possible war crimes.
This is not how the President of the United States should be speaking about sending our servicemembers into harm’s way.
Republicans should join Democrats to end this war immediately.
کسی نمیتواند بگوید نمیدانستم، انتظارش را نداشتم، فکرش را نمیکردم...
عراق و لبنان و لیبی و غزه جلوی چشمتان بود. از اول تا آخر داستان را ده بار پخش زنده تماشا کرده بودید.
اگر همچنان معتقد بودید بمبافکن ها برای نجات شما میآیند، بلاهت و بیشعوریتان عامدانه و خودخواسته بوده است.
Trump: Rebuilding Iran will take 20 years if they are lucky, and if they still have a country left.
So much for “coming to help” the Iranian people.
It will only help the fanatical regime’s supporters
Trump's post on Truth Social raises fundamental questions of temperament, legality, and policy. Attacking power plants won't lead to capitulation or regime change or an open Strait but it would trigger Iranian attacks against water & energy infrastructure throughout the region.
