@lawyersgunsnmoney @draft_resistance_news @_L1vY_ I had family who were drafted and fought in Vietnam. Including both of my stepfathers. They weren't the same after they came home. Some of my neighbors came home in body bags and caskets. They couldn't get deferments like Trump and his fake bone spurs. His senile ass should be the first to be drafted.

Military action against a sovereign state is illegal under the UN charter. There are two exceptions: self-defense, and UN Security Council approval.

Heads of state have personal immunity while in office from prosecution in foreign courts.

This attack is a serious breakdown of international norms.

UPDATE: edgelord replies not welcome, thanks.

Thanks to today's political leaders in the West our Children will be conscripted into WWIII, all so the Oligarchs can rule in Hell.

But it won't be their kids getting shot at, it will be ours.

Remember this folks, if you're ever in their company and feel the social pressure to be nice and cordial to such useless fuckers.

in a speech to the Italian Chamber of Deputies on 3 JAN 1925, 101 years ago today, Benito Mussolini announced he was taking dictatorial powers. it seems somehow fitting that Herr Trump would announce the seizure of a nearby country today.

@fromjason … in French we say "our asses aren't out of the thorny bush yet." I'd like to offer that as today's understatement. Between that and the announced pro-Trump news on CBS, I don't wonder how the propaganda machine will work anymore.
