  1. I guess that the #US military is happy following the #TrumpRegime’s #illegal orders?

    Or have there been refusals, but we’re just not hearing about them?

  2. #Kuwait says it shot down #US jets.

    “The U.S. fighter jets were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses,” U.S. military officials said. “All 6 aircrew ejected safely, have been recovered, & are in stable condition.”

    At 11:03 p.m. EST Sunday, 3 U.S. F-15 Strike Eagles went down over Kuwait in what appears to have been a #friendlyfire incident.

  3. #Trump’s #Iranian campaign: an #illegal #war that risks becoming the new normal.

    The #usisraeli military action will test the fragile rules governing the use of force.

    The killing of #Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, by a US-Israeli strike is a targeted #assassination of a head of state. It also marks a grave escalation in a region already burdened with smouldering wars and fragile states.

    The consequences of the deliberate strike will reverberate across a #MiddleEast marked by the aftershocks of foreign intervention. Revulsion against the hardline regime in Tehran, or the desire for a better future for the Iranian people, does not confer a legal justification.

    Force is lawful, under the UN charter, only in self-defence against an imminent attack or with security council approval. Neither condition has been met. There was no evidence of an “instant, overwhelming” Iranian attack being prepared. What Trump’s #OperationEpicFury looks like is not pre-emption but prevention: a decision to eliminate a future risk while an enemy appeared weak. It is a war of choice. Mr Trump’s call to #overthrow a #sovereign government was extraordinary.

    Unlike pre-emptive wars, preventive ones are deemed #unlawful because they grant the powerful licence to #strikeatwill. The distinction is important; it is why many European governments rejected #Russia’s justification of its invasion of #Ukraine by claiming to head off a future threat. Law cannot be optional for allies and binding only for adversaries. The domestic foundations of Trump’s action are also shaky. There’s little public support in the US for this #attack, and #Congress was not asked to #authorise #hostilities. There will be even less appetite as the #civiliandeath toll mounts and #USsoldiers come home in #bodybags.

  8. #Greens’ Shoebridge on #Iran strikes: ‘#Labor knows it’s illegal’

    Greens senator #DavidShoebridge has accused Labor, the #Coalition and #OneNation of being the “three war parties”, and criticised the government for “rushing” to back the strikes on Iran.

    Speaking on his amendment to the Coalition’s motion, Shoebridge doesn’t hold back, saying the three parties have “never seen an attack by #DonaldTrump, an attack by #BenjaminNetanyahu, that they haven’t wanted to back in and support”.

    “We have seen the #Albanese Labor government rush to be the first country in the world to back in Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu’s latest #illegalwar, literally rushing to back in a war that Labor knows is in #grossbreach of #internationallaw.

    There’s a reason that the foreign minister has refused to discuss, even discuss, whether or not this war is illegal. It’s because Labor knows it’s illegal.”

    Shoebridge accuses the government and opposition of being “reckless” about the consequences of the #bombing on the Iranian people.

    “I can tell you that the mums who are pulling their kids out of the rubble, they don’t see freedom. They’re not talking about #regimechange. They’re grieving about the loss of their kids, their daughters.
    They see through your endless support of war … they see their country potentially being thrown into chaos.“ #auspol #TrumpRegime #RogueNation #uspol

  13. #Trump likes having “#diplomatic” talks. It gives him time to get his #military in place for attacks that are definitely going to happen, regardless of any talks & I’m sure the country he is “talking to” is having their #diplomats communications monitored so that key leaders can be tracked & targeted for #assassination later.

    So he’s doubling down on “give me your money or else”?

    First “jets”, then is it “Golden Dome” since the “Board of War Criminals” shakedown was refuted?

    Hoekstra’s an idiot and just like Trump, seems to have a very hard time understanding a word he should have learned as a toddler: “no”.

    Huh.

  19. I do believe a worldwide boycott of U.S. goods & services is in order.

    And if your country is an ally of the U.S., it’s safe to conclude their relationship with you is NOT “iron clad.” The U.S.A. that once made those promises with you is now dead.
