hey I’m from the future. you won’t believe what happened.
And? Trump assassinated a senior government official with zero authorization or provocation. This is clearly not the same thing.
Let’s be clear: trump being a pile of shit doesn’t give biden license to be almost as shitty.
Iran is a whole ass country, the Houthis are a rebel faction, for lack of a better term. I think this whole situation is kinda different… Matter of opinion I guess…
Houthis are the de facto government of Yemen which is important because the US is claiming the right to self defence which is only available between states.under international law. That’s why for example Israel’s argument of self defence is nonsense because Gaza is not a separate country.
Implying Biden “took us into war” in Yemen? Because we’ve been bombing them for decades.
Did they send a strongly worded letter, that they later retracted, again…?
They might have a stronger case if they haven’t proven to be a ‘do nothing’ Congress. They can’t even put together a budget.
Congress signed over the rights to just do war crimes whenever you feel like it back under Reagan.
Now the President can do the thing, Congress can call a hearing to complain about it, elections happen, power changes hands, and the only people who suffer are the ones getting bombed.
It’s not a war crime to return fire if fired upon.
“He bombed me back first”
Targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure, mass arrests and forced removal of native populations, and indiscriminate use of chemical weapons are all war crimes. Hell, use of cluster bombs and mines have been recognized as war crimes since the mid-90s, and yet the US is the world’s largest manufacturer and distributor of both.
I don’t think it’s his actions that are the problem. I think it is WHO did them that is the problem which can be seen by the charge being led by the infamous Rashida Talib from Michigan.
