If any entity is unrestrained by the laws of war, then there ARE no laws of war.
Laws apply to •everyone•, or no one at all.

CW: US Iran war
I hope that, if the US carrier groups' defensive munitions run out, the Iranians will treat the survivors in accordance with the Geneva convention, unlike the crew of the unarmed IRIS Dena, who were not aided by the US sub that sunk their ship.

[Recall #Biden began publicly criticizing #Israel’s conduct in #Gaza during the last 2 months of his presidency.]
…#Trump & his officials were briefed by Biden’s team on the #intelligence but showed little interest in the subject after they took over in January & began siding more powerfully with the Israelis, said the fmr US officials.

The #intelligence deepened concerns in Washington over Israel’s conduct in a #war it said was necessary to eliminate #Palestinian #Hamas fighters embedded in civilian infrastructure — the same group whose Oct 7, 2023, attack on #Israel sparked the conflict. There were concerns Israel was intentionally targeting #civilians & #humanitarian workers, a potential #WarCrime which Israel has strongly denied.

Exclusive: #US intel found Israeli #military lawyers warned there was evidence of #Gaza #WarCrimes
The US gathered #intelligence last year that Israel’s military #lawyers warned there was evidence that could support war crimes charges against #Israel for its military campaign in Gaza – operations reliant on American-supplied weapons, 5 former US officials said.

Sen. Jim Risch (R-ID), chairman of the #US #Senate #ForeignRelations Committee, on Tuesday denounced the #RSF attacks on the city, & called for it to be designated as a foreign #terrorist organization.
“The RSF has waged terror & committed unspeakable atrocities, genocide among them, against the Sudanese people,” he wrote on X.

“An unfathomable horror,” Simon Mane, a national director for the World Vision aid group, said. “Children are not just dying; they are being brutally robbed of their very existence, their hopes & futures cruelly wiped away. Their fate is a devastating moral failure.”
#Aid groups said hundreds were killed & hundreds detained since the #RSF overran the city, but a death toll has been difficult to determine given a near communication blackout. -
The HRL also said that “systematic killings” took place in the vicinity of the eastern wall, which the #RSF built outside the city earlier this year.
It also reported what it said were targeted attacks by the RSF on #health facilities, #HealthWorkers, patients & #HumanitarianAid workers, which it said amount to #WarCrimes.

In a report late Tuesday, the Yale School of Public Health’s Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) said that #RSF fighters continued to carry out #MassKillings since they took over #elFasher.
The report, which relied on satellite imagery from Airbus, said it corroborated alleged #executions & mass killing by the RSF around the Saudi Hospital, & at a detention center at the former Children’s Hospital in the eastern part of the city.

Both Amena and Tajal-Rahman said that #RSF fighters tortured & beat the detainees & shot at least 4 people Monday who later died of wounds. They also sexually assaulted women & girls, they said.
Giulia Chiopris, a pediatrician at a hospital run by the Doctors Without Borders medical group in Tawila, said they received many patients since Oct 18, suffering from injuries related to bombing or gunshots.

Prior to Thursday's operation, #US #military strikes against suspected drug boats off #Venezuela killed at least 27 people, raising alarms among some legal experts & Democratic lawmakers, who question whether they adhere to the #LawsOfWar.
Videos presented by the #Trump admin of previous attacks showed vessels being completely destroyed, & there have been no prior accounts of survivors afterwards.

Gee, #Trump seems really receptive to expert counsel 🙄 (/s)
His delusionally inflated ego is working overtime with the bullshit statement, “I’ve settled 6 Wars in 6 months”
Also, the time for placing blame on Biden for anything, passed long ago — ~7 months ago. Didn’t he say he could end the war on day 1?

#Ukraine intelligence agencies say that so far there appears to be no deviation from #Russia’s battle plans after the *summit*, according to a senior Ukrainian military official.
By the end of the summer, Ukrainian officials believe Russian forces hope to make significant advances in the #Donetsk region, including by fully blockading #Kramatorsk & #Sloviansk.

“Some of Ukraine’s strongest defensive positions are in #Donetsk, & ceding those defenses would position #Russia to reattack in the future from a much more advantageous position,” said David Shimer, who led #Ukraine policy on the White House #NationalSecurity Council during the #Biden admin. Ceding the region, he said, would be a “massive concession.”

Skipping #ceasefire discussions would give Russia an advantage in the talks, which are expected to continue on Monday when President Volodymyr #Zelensky of #Ukraine visits #Trump at the White House [why bother?]. It breaks from a strategy Trump & #Europe #allies, as well as Zelensky, had agreed to before the #US - #Russia meeting in #Alaska.

#Putin & #Trump were seated in a room with their aides in front of a blue backdrop that had the words “Pursuing Peace” printed on it.
They didn’t take any questions but Trump said, “Thank you” to reporters who were briefly in the room.

#Trump & #Putin meet on the tarmac
Trump, wearing his trademark red tie, walked down a red carpet & stood & waited for Putin.
Both men were wearing dark suits.
They shook hands & walked down the red carpet together to cheers from people [?] on the tarmac.
Trump saluted nobody in particular.
