I’d really appreciate people stop pretending that the “rule of law” is being violated. There is no “rule of law”. The US is a rogue state and has been the main beneficiary of the “rule of law” since WW2. It was always a means of punishing non western states “crimes” and ignoring very real crimes of the west.
International law has always been an illusion. But, come on, can we stop pretending it even exists? I think the Palestinian Genocide showed us that the world does care about it.
The only difference with the US now is that it does not care to pretend anymore. It’s foreign policy and actions are just more blunt and come with less baggage of concent.
Pretending international laws exist is literally only serving the interest of those that will violate them. They are nothing more than a false sense that “someone will do something”.
Read about the “League of Nations” prior to WW2 if you want to see how useful “pointing” to the violations were.
We need blunt and obvious language that explains the threat.
The US is a fascist rogue state that will sacrifice the lives of its citizens to murder the citizens of other countries unless it is stopped.
Its like telling an Alien invasion from outer space that they are “violating our laws”. They don’t care and we are wasting time pretending that they matter at all.
How absurd. The Blue No Matter Who people swear that the Constitution will save us!
They’re just play acting at being generals.
Kegsworth is a piece of shit, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he honestly didn’t know what “quarter” actually meant or even that it was a legally defined term under damn near every single military treaty.
They’re not just evil, they’re evil idiots.
Hopefully we live to see them have to argue for their own stupidity as a defense in a criminal war crime tribunal.
They’ll have ChatGPT argue it, I’m sure we can see the approximate output ahead of time.

LegalEagle put out a video (Alternate: Invidious instance or selector) recently covering the “no quarter” comment, missile strike on Minab school, and sinking of the IRIS Dena. Their thumbnails can be a little clickbait-face-ish for my liking but the content is good and they cite their sources well.
Second the Legal Eagle video on this
Wait so the guy with iron crosses and a drinking problem being in charge of war want alarming before. Got it.
He probably doesn’t even know what that means. But regardless of that. He’s still a POS.
It’s the type of thing a dude bro says about a sporting event.
Look, you can’t force Jesus to come back by following the rules.
Jesus isn’t real but even if he was he ain’t gonna come back just to Rapture the people who did this into the paradise he built
Yeah. Tell that to these fanatical lunatics. They’ll kill us all for their apocalyptic fantasies.
The bible is fairly explicit no one will know when. I’m no theologian but trying to pick the day yourself seems like mortal sin territory to me.
It alarms me, and I’m but a poor layman.

Don’t be so hard on yourself! Your sister was very impressed.
I see what you did there
“An order to give no quarter would mean to take no prisoners and kill them instead. That would violate the law of armed conflict. It would be an illegal order. It would also put American service members at greater risk.”
Bo such thing as illegal orders, according to mad dog helgseth
