Parsad Posted April 7 Posted April 7 2 hours ago, Marco Van Basten said: You do realize that the international law is absurd? After all, what it calls a war crime is the way wars have been fought for millennia. When everything is a war crime, nothing is. Also, as far as I know, international law is not a concept that exists in the US. If something I do is considered a capital offense in Zimbabwe, it is irrelevant as far as the US court is concerned unless it is considered a crime in the US as well. Destroying civilian infrastructure to decapitate a nation state is considered a war crime under the Geneva Convention, which the U.S. is a part of. The U.S. is also part of the UN Security Council which supports the International Criminal Court and International Court of Justice even though the U.S. are not members of the Rome Statute. So while the ICC and ICJ have no jurisdiction with the U.S., they are part of the Security Council supporting them. Cheers!

Once they rolled that out, it was, sure go ahead and take Crimea. You can't roll out the Red Carpet anymore than that. What the hell are you talking about? Making shit up again. Yanukovych was ousted and Putin didn't want Ukraine cozying up to the West and EU...thus the annexation of Crimea! With Trump, Putin gets to do whatever the hell he wants over there. Everyone's paying attention to the Middle East! Why do you think Russia, China and North Korea are playing nice right now? No one is giving two shits about what they are doing because Trump has created nearly unilateral chaos in the Middle East and is busy there. Israel is the only one with a real hard on right now, because they finally get what they wanted, and the icing on the cake is they've taken out everyone who had anything to do with October 7th! This is the Super Bowl for Israel and the U.S. made Bibi into Tom Brady! Cheers!

You guys all need to shut up and take a deep look at what the fuck Israel and Iran both have done. Bunch of self-righteous pricks ALL killing innocent women and children! Neither Bibi's administration or the Dear Leader's administration are innocent in any of this dark madness! Blaming allies, those trying to keep peace, those trying to help, those that are trying to end war, rather that start it! Where are the peace-loving Iranians you speak about Ourkid8? Where are the peace-loving Christians Cubs/73Reds? Do you only practice Old Testament or do you actually read the New Testament? Your President prays to Christ/God, hocks bibles like used cars, and is willing to bomb another nation into oblivion. Ourkid8, your Supreme Leader is threatening a holy war and all hell to break loose, while the regime paid off terrorists to rape, murder and butcher dozens of women and children on October 7th in their home. I think most of the board will agree with this sentiment...fuck you all! Rant over! Cheers! +1 Boomers in power could just quit and try to show good will with the sole purpose of solving this. Instead they embrace in this weird mix of human nature, desire for revenge, twisted religious beliefs and pointing at past mistakes of the other side while covering up their own. All while trying to satisfy their fanatic lust for power. And people like Cubs, 73Reds and Ourkid8 are their little soldier NPCs spawning everywhere and guarding them as soon as they fuck up shit again. Thank you for your service. Pretty sure the Holy Bible and the Holy Quran cover bombing civilians (and their infrastructure) and building atomic bombs and billions of rockets. No doubt. Edited April 7 by adventurer

What Obama is regarding Ukraine was a mistake but remember that Trump was president from 2016-2020 and did nothing to correct it. In fact, he got friendly with Putin at that time, compounding the mistake.

Its always the same with Trump John. He is absolutely unskilled as to building value but a master at taking value, so reflective of his zero sum beliefs. That's number one. Number two, one not to ever set aside because it is so much always the case: People who lust for Trump and people who despise him both overstate his past successes and current/future potential. Trump does a lot of harm to anything he controls - always has - and he shares that equally between supporters and haters. Posters here on COBF are raging towards one another, it makes no difference in their outcome with Trump. Trump is wise to his one skill and yes he could shoot people in the street and retain support. It begins with things like "No more wars, if I'd been President this war would not have happened." Then it is "Are you with me or not?" And it just goes from there. So predictable. The real issue for us given we are investors is where to go. I'm not certain things considered "safe" are going to continue to be a safe place, it all depends on how long Trump is in control, something people aren't willing to address realistically...yet. In 2018 I was telling my cohorts that Trump would not voluntarily leave office and he surely would not accept a negative election outcome. In good nature I was made fun of by my buddies all the way up until Jan 6. Edited April 7 by dealraker
DooDiligence Posted April 7 Posted April 7 These are tough times for those of us who read above a 4th grade level. You can't say he didn't warn us a thousand times.

First he does the "Russian Reset" - cancels missile defense in Eastern Europe - lets Putin take Crimea. Then his much vaunted "Russian Reset" is over. Then he gives Iran pallets of cash and fuels their nuclear program and terrorism programs. Quite the foreign policy moron Obama was - don't you think?

ICUMD Posted April 7 Posted April 7 Is Trump going Nuclear? Threatening to wipe out a whole civilisation tonight. Then tell us how he won during this historic moment? Apparently he can unilaterally launch a nuclear hit without any oversight. Speaking about terror, Trump terrifies me.

They sure don't value human life calling on their 12 year old children to take the place of their army. But what do you expect from a regime that murders 45,000 protestors in a few days.

People need to remember in the international system when you dial 911 nobody answers and nobody comes. It is fundamentally an anarchic system. It’s why States are deeply paranoid about their own security and survival and will act in ways that might shock you in their extremity, even recklessness. The paranoid survive - see for all the thin veil (UN, ICC) of some system that sits above State level actors, in practice there is none. Like I said - you call 911 - nobody answers the phone. You’re on your own. Israel understood this by secretly developing their own nukes, North Korea did the same….Ukraine forgot it by giving away theirs for worthless international guarantees. Iran’s mistake was not to take the N.Korea route instead they played a silly game of flirtation with nuclear capability using it as a perpetual trading chip for sanctions relief. That game is blowing up in their face right now because it was a foolish game to play.

As we know Israel is key beneficiary of US patronage in this regard and has vetoed on their behalf countless UN resolutions. Russia similarly with Assad’s chemical weapons use . China with Myanmar Rohingya genocide.
