I'm pretty sure that when it comes to the war in Iran, Trump does not have the cards!
Isn't that ironic? Zelensky was right.
During Trump's 1st term I posted on Twitter that once Trump alienated all our allies, who would fight WITH us.
It only took waiting until his 2nd term & we might find out.
What comes around, goes around.
Zelensky is so much smarter than that POS.
This moment from Feb 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead.
This is everything
Holy North Korea, Batman!
Oh my God no one in this administration actually cares about Jewish people, you know that, right?
I don't know, but I guess it bothers me some that the President of the United States posted on social media that it is his great honor to be killing people. 🤷♂️

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.
🚨NEWS: Democrat Andy Thomson has won the Boca Raton mayoral race by just ONE vote.
🔵 Thomson — 7,568
🔴 Liebelson — 7,567
With 100% of votes in, Thomson becomes the first Democratic mayor of Boca Raton in over 30 years.
One vote decided the election.
Epstein wanted to use Zorro Ranch as a “baby farm” to impregnate women & seed the human race w/his DNA. Elon Musk wants to boost the world’s population by breeding genetically superior offspring w/his DNA.
I track the similarities between these men pushing pro-natalism.

"No quarter" means refusing to show mercy, spare lives, or take prisoners during conflict. Originating from military and maritime traditions, it signifies a total denial of surrender, where no survivors are permitted. It is a grave breach of international humanitarian law.
Declaring “no quarter” is a war crime. Pete committed a war crime this morning. bsky.app/profile/bcfi...
tfw the expertise in war crimes law you developed dealing with nasty warlords overseas because relevant for senior US officials
Every war involves killing. Any war means. death, and pain, and grief. For centuries the civilized nations of the world have attempted to reduce the death and suffering by observing the laws and usages of war. By international conventions and agreements, such as the Hague and Geneva Conventions, and by general custom, certain practices are internationally regarded as cruel, inhumane, and criminal. Such barbarities include the killing of s,urrendered belligerents, the refusal of quarter, and torture or other ill-treatment of belligerents or inhabitants of occupied countries. Such acts are crimes and, if they result in death, are murders.
From the "High Command Case" at Nuremberg:
And as a fun related legal fact, the failure of a commander to punish war crimes by his subordinates is also a war crime under the doctrine of command responsibility.
Published by the Naval War College in 2021:

"Declaring that no quarter will be given" is specifically prohibited by Art 23 of the Annex to the Hague Convention IV, which means it is a war crime under US domestic law by virtue of the War Crimes Act (18 U.S. Code § 2441).
(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors or surrender accepted; (2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted; (3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable ability to accept surrender would exist; (4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and (5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."
No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.
Instead of focusing only on the casualties, Hegseth spends part of the briefing attacking media coverage of the war.
And then, he suggests a preferred owner for a major news network?
If that doesn’t sound the alarm about political influence over press institutions, I don’t know what does.
State controlled media should scare everyone.
Pete Hegseth targeted CNN during the same briefing in which he discussed the deaths of four more Americans in Trump's war, saying: "The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better."
This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.
It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
Narrator voice: They have not, in fact, saved the world.
Clowns. The whole world is on fire because of incompetent, cowardly clowns. Fuck this shit.
I don't have to imagine.
Grew up in it.
Scared of their own shadow and armed to the teeth.
Can you IMAGINE being like that? AND thinking you’re superior?
