It is a witless exaggeration to say that USA is Nazi. BUT when you're as far left as you are, everyone to the right of Mao Zedong looks like a Nazi to you. Have you considered another country? One with a more accommodating left-wing government that implements the policies you favor? Bolivia, Cuba and Venezuela are all good choices. Let us know how it works out. Bon voyage!
Doesn't matter. He's commander-in-chief and cannot dodge responsibility for what happened on his watch. Yamashita went to the gallows for the exact same crime - failing to stop men under his command from committing war crimes.
It's just frustrating how *uneducated* you are and how requiring you to understand something results in you deliberately misunderstanding.
Fine, yes, I was talking about the Nuremberg principles, not the Nuremberg laws. The two are so easily confused that the Wikipedia page has a disambiguation page attached. Now that I look, the Nuremberg laws page has a disambiguation notice directing you to the Nuremberg principles about war crimes, which you deliberately ignored.
You really didn't see it there and click over? An intelligent person would have done so. Here's the part where Obama will be convicted in a war crimes tribunal:
Principle III The fact that a person who committed an act which constitutes a crime under international law, acted as Head of State or responsible government official, does not relieve him from responsibility under international law.
Principle VI
The crimes hereinafter set out are punishable as crimes under international law:
(a) Crimes against peace and humanity:
(i) Planning, preparation, initiation or a plan of a war of aggression or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances;
(ii) Participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of any of the acts mentioned under (i).
(b) War crimes:
Violations of the laws or customs of war which include, but are not limited to, murder, ill-treatment or deportation to slave labor or for any other purpose of civilian population of or in occupied territory; murder or ill-treatment of prisoners of war or persons on the Seas, killing of hostages, plunder of public or private property, wanton destruction of cities, towns, or villages, or devastation not justified by military necessity.
(c) Crimes against humanity:
Murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation and other inhumane acts done against any civilian population, or persecutions on political, racial, or religious grounds, when such acts are done or such persecutions are carried on in execution of or in connection with any crime against peace or any war crime.
So yeah, under any just system of international justice, Obama must be tried for war crimes. Principle III means he can't say "durrr I didn't know" because he was the commander-in-chief. I am astonished you are not familiar with these principles as they form the foundation of international human rights laws. Moreover command responsibilty means he can't dodge prosecution. Since you are incapable of your own research, I have done it for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The United States of America confirmed and incorporated the mentioned 1899 and 1907 Hague Conventions on "command responsibility" into United States federal law through the precedent set by the United States Supreme Court (called the "Yamashita standard") in the case of Japanese General Tomoyuki Yamashita. He was prosecuted in 1945 for atrocities committed by troops under his command in the Philippines, in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Yamashita was charged with "unlawfully disregarding and failing to discharge his duty as a commander to control the acts of members of his command by permitting them to commit war crimes."
You're deliberately being obtuse. The Nuremberg trials after WW2. International tribunals where "I didn't know" was rejected as a defense. Go ahead and try though. I'm sure all those murder victims will understand.
Oh ho ho. I see you don't know the Nuremberg laws. Command responsibility, look it up. Obama's hands are drenched in the blood of innocents. He needs to stand trial in The Hague for war crimes. Perhaps he can claim ignorance and be acquitted. But the trial must certainly take place. That defense didn't work for the Nazis, but feel free to go ahead and try it.
God forbid we should look after ourselves. You know, like every single other nation on the planet does. Globalism is bullshit, unless you think invading Iraq was a great idea.
The figures come amid concerns about the policies of Brazil's newly elected president, Jair Bolsonaro.
The summary clearly implies it. It's pre emotive blame. I have no idea who this guy is but my bet is he's not popular with the media establishment because he represents the people.
So I can't help but notice that this starts out with what do we want to do and finishes with "fear of the foreigners" scaremongering that would not have been out of place in a Fu Manchu novel in which the Yellow Peril will consume us all. It was bullshit then and it's bullshit now. What's the deal? Why the sudden xenophobia? It's totally out of place, off topic, and racist and nativist.
And yet he's still less corrupt than Hillary. How about that Haiti reconstruction, eh? The Clinton Foundation raised billions for them. And spent millions. And pocketed the difference. Oops.
The Soviet Union defeated Germany, thanks for playing though. Americans started more wars and overthrew democratically elected governments and replaced them with dictators. Iran, Guatemala, the list goes on. How many illegal wars is the USA engaged in right now?
I grew out of that when I heard Alec Baldwin, the man who plays Trump on SNL, verbally abuse his child. It was taped and you can still find it on YouTube. He really viciously ripped into her. She was 11, I think. It was utterly disgusting and how the man still has a job in entertainment baffles me.
Whataboutism, whataboutism, he approved the operation so he's guilty and needs to stand trial for war crimes at The Hague and hang just like Halder and Keitel, attempted justification for American meddling thousands of miles from their territory. Seriously, who causes the most war deaths worldwide? It ain't China. Look in the mirror.
Silicon Valley has always been Left. All that's happened is that you've had your self image punctured and instead of dealing with it like an adult, you're engaged in angry denial. And it is always the "that's not real leftism/socialism/communism/etc" argument. Where would the Left be without the No True Scotsman fallacy? A lot stronger, to be sure. Self criticism is how we get better. The first step in improvement is admitting there's a problem.
The Americans are the ones who bomb countries and invade neutral nations and cause death and destruction. Obama holds the world record for most children murdered by drones. He bombed a Doctors Without Borders hospital. Suddenly China are the bad guys now? Because they're taking the very rational step of trying to keep the Americans away from their territory? Huh?
High taxes on corporate profits was already crippling US competitiveness. Why do you think we lowered them? Remember the whining from Europeans? We have to compete with the whole world, including countries like China that use slave labor. High taxes will kill off our companies more than it already has. The rest of your rant is the usual nonsense, how does being a teacher help the administrative aspects of school boards? They have to implement diversity initiatives and measure compliance, a skill that has nothing to do with a teaching certification.
No I am an ordinary person. I have much more to fear from my own government than the distant Chinese. The intelligence community illegally spies on me - why? Why do they fear me? They're on my side - or I guess not.
I'm going to go ahead and have to disagree with you there. The deplorables are...well, deplorable. If you can't bring yourself to condem those racist pricks, you're one of them. Where will you stand?
Wikileaks is a hostile Russian controlled intelligence agency. This is fact. The American intelligence community told us so. Remember how they rigged the election in favor of Trump by revealing the truth about the Democrats?
Why would China and Russia be enemies? They are all foes of the military industrial complex. Same as Occupy Wall Street. Whose side are you on, anyway? The bankers? Since when are the far left on the side of the bankers against the working class? WTF

The Nuremberg Laws. Halder and Keitel hanged for the same war crimes. You can't claim ignorance.
Oh, you can read my mind? Amazing. Can you demonstrate your talent again? Tell me what I had for breakfast?
What's it doing on Slashdot in a summary? It's disgusting and needs to be ostracized whenever it appears in public.
