    By Laura Tingle

    From Iran to Zaporizhzhia

    War around nuclear facilities is no longer a remote contingency. It is an emerging test of whether international humanitarian law (IHL) can restrain military operations before nuclear safety systems are pushed beyond recoverable limits. Recent hostilities involving Iran and Israel, alongside the longer-running cr

  4. Good video reporting from frontlines of still-ongoing #Puntland vs. #ISIS war in northern #Somalia by @bastien_rnl, @willswanson, and @ARTEfr for @France24_en. Seemingly shot last Nov - reporters visited ISIS-Somalia's former "so-called capital", Sheebaab village in Almiskat Mts.

    "Try putting that into your company data recovery plan, and you'll get uninvited from business continuity planning faster than I was at investment firm BlackRock when I pointed out that if both San Francisco and us-east-1 were unavailable, absolutely nobody was going to care about our roboadvisor for the foreseeable future, if ever.

    What Venezuela Actually Is About

    On January 3, the US launched an attack on the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and kidnapped President Nicolás Maduro. While the legal assessment appears largely undisputed (see here, here, here; denying an armed attack, Safferling), the analysis of the factual background lacks clarity. US President Donald Trump publicly claimed that the

  8. A quotation from Wendell Berry

    If you know even as little history as I do, it is hard not to doubt the efficacy of modern war as a solution to any problem except that of retribution — the “justice” of exchanging one damage for another.

    Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist
    Essay (1999), “The Failure of War,” Citizenship Papers (2003)

  9. A quotation from Wendell Berry

    If I solve my dispute with my neighbor by killing him, I have certainly solved the immediate dispute. If my neighbor was a scoundrel, then the world is no doubt better for his absence. But in killing my neighbor, though he may have been a terrible man who did not deserve to live, I have made myself a killer — and the life of my next neighbor is in greater peril than the life of the last.

    Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist
    Speech (1968-02-10), “A Statement Against the War in Vietnam,” Kentucky Conference on the War and the Draft, University of Kentucky

  11. #Congress has not authorized any #ArmedConflict with drug #cartels. The draft #legislation, which the White House Office of Management & Budget [#RussVought #OMB #Project2025] has circulated within the executive branch for comment, would address that potential weakness in the admin’s argument — at least as a matter of domestic #law.

    #Trump #WarPowers #MilitaryState

  12. But the admin has insisted that #Trump has legal #authority, under his constitutional #power as commander in chief, to direct Special Operations forces to instead summarily kill those suspected of drug running as if they are combatants on a *battlefield*. Citing the roughly 100,000 overdose deaths of Americans each year, the admin has invoked *self-defense* & the #law of #ArmedConflict.

  13. "#Trump sends #US #army to fight #Mexican drug #cartels

    (..) It also raises legal concerns, such as whether killing criminal suspects outside an #ArmedConflict Zone would constitute #murder."

    hmm 🤔

    lemmy check my notes here .. legal stuff this, legal stuff that .. ah here:

    Sending ones army into another country without their consent would indeed constitute something like .. 🧑‍⚖️🧮📕📚📓📜 .. ah yes there we go 🥁🥁🥁 : #war .
