  4. #UN Secretary-General #AntonioGuterres warned the #US that attacking #civilian #infrastructure is banned under #InternationalLaw, his spox said Monday.

    “Even if specific civilian infrastructure were to qualify as a military objective,” spox Stephane Dujarric said, an attack would still be prohibited if it risks “excessive incidental civilian harm.”

    A court would need to decide whether such attacks were #WarCrimes, he said.

  5. #Trump says he’s “not at all” concerned about committing #WarCrimes as he continues to threaten destruction of Iran’s #bridges & #PowerPlants if they don’t meet a Tuesday-evening deadline to reopen the #StraitOfHormuz.

    “I hope I don’t have to do it,” Trump added.

  6. “We have a plan, because of the power of our military, where every #bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o’clock tomorrow night,” #Trump said during his Monday news conference.

    #PowerPlants in #Iran, he continued would be “burning, exploding & never to be used again.”

    Trump refused to say whether any #civilian targets would be off limits in the #US response.

  7. Meanwhile, a second person familiar with the situation said that the Chair of the #JointChiefsOfStaff, Gen #DanCaine, was also at freaking #MarALago Saturday.

    The #Pentagon didn’t answer questions about US Defense Secretary Pete #Hegseth’s whereabouts for the strike [probably drunk somewhere on a lost weekend].

  8. The inspiration is the 19th cent #MonroeDoctrine that prioritized #USsupremacy in the #WesternHemisphere & which #Trump has embraced & renamed the “#DonroeDoctrine.”

    Experts say that while the revival of this playbook may have unnerved some #US #allies, it could also serve the interests of #Russia, locked in a war in #Ukraine, a former Soviet republic, & #China, which has long had its sights set on #Taiwan.

  9. Hurlburt cited a retired #US general who viewed the #Trump White House move in #Venezuela & its fixation on #Greenland as reminiscent of teenagers playing the geostrategic board game Risk.
    
“Once you start down the road of the #MonroeDoctrine or the #DonroeDoctrine, or whatever we’re saying now, you look at a map of the #WesternHemisphere, & there is Greenland,” she said.
