If Americans were even prosecuted for war crimes that couchfucker would be scared.

Americans are never prosecuted for the war crimes they commit
- I never broke the law. I AM THE LAW!
Hague Invasion Act
The act gives the president power to use "all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court".
- In short, "If you try to prosecute our war criminals, we will invade The Netherlands."
- or allied
  That includes Israel. Try them for war crimes and Trump declares war on the Dutch.

That's real? Holy fuck what sort of clownworld are we actually in?
- The worst kind.
- The kind that elected these weapons
- I don't know what kind of rock you've been living under the past decade but it seems to have the density of nuclear pasta. This is not surprising at all. It's certainly fucked up and depressing, but fully expected.
- The one where Americans refuse to wake the fuck up and realize this isn’t Bush-era “GOP misbehavior”
- The world that Humanity made for themselves has always been like this.
Jesus, look at all those people sucking him off in those replies. We are so screwed...
- Half of them must be bots.

Your daily reminder that as a matter of fact, international law means pretty much nothing. It's funny to me that people still keep bringing it up.

It never meant anything to the USA and other imperialists, it is regularly used to justify action against those outside the "international community"
- The thing about justifications is that you can just make them up. There's no international law against hypocrisy.
If that's how you feel, then all laws mean pretty much nothing. The only reason any of it matters, is if we all agree to abide by them. Technically, anyone can commit any crime, at any time. The rest of us need to hold those people accountable, or as you said...none of it matters.
- Laws aren't a matter of public consensus (although public consensus is one way of determining what should be illegal). They're meaningful if men with guns show up and use force against someone who breaks them.
I mean, if someone ever detains a us service member on behalf of the ICC, the US will literally invade the Netherlands

- Invading somebody else's nether lands is certainly on brand for the prick, I'm sure he wouldn't mind having an excuse.

"Sieg heil!"

"Saying that makes you a nazi."

"I don't give a shit what you call it."

It's alright. He won't be but a small blemish on the blotted history of the US

I dunno, he's one of the more mocked figures in US politics. History will hopefully remember him well for couch debauchery
Unless.. well... unless they start ww3 👉👈
- Don't look at us, we won't start the third one. we kinda learned from the first two. And to not trust the Austrians regarding that matter.
Are you sure he's not the successor to the throne after daddy is dead? It seems like many people would want him.

So now killing people that poison americans is OK? So all the CEO' of major companies that pollute are legitimate targets? Is that what vance is saying?

I don’t know about you, but to me it sounds like a valid legal argument that Luigi Mangione’s lawyers could potentially use?
Yeah, pretty crazy precedent if you applied it to America. So all oil companies employees are fair game along with chemical employees and the majority of people in the food/alcohol/tobacco industry. Now that I think about, it is justification to eliminate about a third of the US population.

The problem they're faced with is a drug epidemic and the solution they come up with is mass murder.

Obviously very sane and rational.

I'm pretty sure if someone gave Vance a gun, he would start shooting the cleaning staff at the WH. He sounds like a coked out lunatic who hears voices making fun of him.

This is why I'm not convinced when people say maga won't fall in line behind this guy. They want blood, they don't care how it's spilled. They're foaming at the mouth rabid for it, and Vance promises to deliver.

The US has always been this parasitic, lawless, warmongering shithole of a country. Bush did it, Obama did it, Biden did it, Trump did it. Every single president before them did it. As someone who despises the US hegemony, I'm glad this administration is showing the world what the US has always been. This will just make it easier for us across the globe to discredit the US lackeys in our individual countries.

That's a good description of USA politics right now

Pretty much for the last 50 years

Laughts on them. If the flow of cocaine would stop, politics and the rich would be hit the hardest.

You've made the mistake of thinking that this is about killing members of a drug cartel instead of killing people they decide to accuse of being members of a drug cartel
- Whether those people on the boat were members of a cartel or not is not the point, it already is piracy and a war crime.
  My point is that the stated ultimate goal is to fight drug cartels, and that would hit certain circles the hardest. Especially with cocaine, which is a drug predominantly used in richer circles.

I'm sure this kind of rhetoric will turn out to be super great for Americans abroad.

It's like putting bullseye sheets on every back of them.

James Donald Bowman is a sad sack of shit and the literal incarnation of his douchebag father.

He tries to escape his given name, but I won't let him, I'll deadname him until he (or myself) is dead.

So according to couchfucker, war crimes are the best use of the military.

Not just him but kegsbreath too.

He's just another version of trump.

A child trying to imitate trump maybe

Did they kill the Sackler family?

Not brown or poor-looking enough, sadly.

They also do not care about war crimes in Gaza. Sick psychopaths.

Saved. In case he denies later he ever said that.

If you replace JD Vance with Hitler, replace jd Vance's profile with Hitler, they're indistinguishable from each other

Don’t insult crazy people by comparing them to Vance!

The orange bloated bloviator is bad enough but to have that dark little strange monster hovering in the background seems somehow worse.

You could make a very strong argument that a cartel member is a member of a militant group, they certainly use many of the same tactics

Prove it in court and put them in jail then.
- You think you're capturing these guys alive?
You could make a very strong argument that the cartel is something for the country itself to deal with, or rely on help through organisations like INTERPOL and not just have the US decide it's murder time for a random civillian they have no evidence on.
If you have a proper judicial process, some mistakes are caught. On the other hand, extra judicial killings have no recourse for mistakes.
Even the best processes and well intentioned humans make mistakes. Extra judicial process is a recipe for humanitarian disaster.
Unknown number of innocent people will be murdered in cold blood without remorse if such a policy is adopted.
- I respect the sentiment, but there's no way in hell these guys would surrender to law enforcement.
I agree, that's why MAGA and the KKK should be executed in the stree- wait, is that not who we're talking about? Oops, my bad.
- I also support executing the Klan, yes.
i think you mean military instead of militant, any violent group is militant. So being militant is still a civilian thing and using the military against civilians is a war crime. Also using the military within your own borders is a crime. So no it's not a "very strong argument" it's not an argument at all

- Fine, terrorist organisation then. They're certainly not above killing civilians themselves.
We should sanction whoever is providing them guns.
