#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.

#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 -

RE: https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/115965441306495625
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.

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.

"This is what happens when over 77 million Americans vote for such a lawless, reckless man, some 89 million choose to stay home, and John Roberts’ Supreme Court supermajority hands him near-total immunity."

Rebecca Solnit lists five facets of the attack on Venezuela "by the rogue nation the US has become:
1. They are saying it baldly: this is an oil grab.
2. The carnage associated with fossil fuel is why speeding the transition to renewables is good for international stability as well as everything else.

Here's the press release from the DOJ describing the crimes for which the former president of Honduras was convicted BEFORE TRUMP PARDONED HIM "because presidents shouldn't be treated this way."
I think Putin put the bug in Trump's ear to kidnap Maduro.
We are so fucked.

The United States is a rogue nation and a terrorist state, not respecting sovereignty of other countries.
We should boycott the US, including all American products and companies.

"Look how far we've fallen as a nation: A corrupt regime has everyone arguing about whether it was lawful to blow up two shipwrecked survivors instead of discussing why they are blowing up boats thousands of miles away from the U.S. mainland in the first place, instead of arresting the boat operators and bringing them to trial. And that's before we even talk about Trump's corrupt pardon of a cocaine kingpin this week."

I'm pretty sure you're average North Korean thinks their country is peaceful and nice... When in fact it's a failed totalitarian state that isn't capable of producing anything, so under the direct orders of its Supreme Leader and Criminal, Kim Jong-un, it resorts to hacking and stealing crypto assets.
But it doesn't stop there, does it? All that crypto needs to be converted into fiat, you know, actual money that you can use in the actual world. Despite naming itself the Turtle Kingdom, North Korea is constantly in touch with foreign entities that process these stolen digital valuables.
I find it strange that no agency whatsoever is working to put a stop to this, and if indeed there is one, they're not doing a very good job.
