    Why wouldn’t other countries just not sanction us?

    seriously this and the killing random people in fishing boats with no due process in international waters are war crimes.

    If China, Russia, EU and everyone else said nah fuck you we won’t buy any of your shit or sell you any of our shit would that not fix the problem in like, one months time?

    Seriously why isn’t this happening?? Couldn’t the ICC make its members do something like this? Or is that not how that works?

    I’m just trying to understand. There must be something the world can do that doesn’t involve war why don’t they do that?

        I know that and about the Hague act thing basically saying they will invade if they ever try to do something but if they did invade them that would be WW3 surely so that has to be a bluff.

        I guess I couldn’t expect them to force other countries to isolate the USA economically but damn it would be awesome if they had the power

      Russia is already sanctioned/sanctioning due to the Ukraine War. China maybe could, but they are more focused on renegotiating a trade deal. The EU is already in the process is strategic decoupling and can’t go that much faster. Any other country is likely going to either have enough economic consequences that they can’t afford to or are doing so little trade that it doesn’t mean anything any way.

      The U.S. is very powerful. It has the third biggest population in the world and has a lot of economic influence, including all the damage trump has done to it.

    I quess water infrastructure is on the table now. Good job, America.

    Iran will offcourse retaliate by hitting the water infrastructure in the Gulf States, causing massive issues in the Arab world.

    This is Russia level incompetence.

    The guy is clearly insane and out of control. This is squarely on the heads of JD Vance and Marco Rubio for not invoking the 25th amendment. This was obviously not a military target and was designed to cause mass civilian casualties and death.

    OH HELL NO! Not in our name!

      As a Native American I regret to inform you that

      This was obviously not a military target and was designed to cause mass civilian casualties and death.

      is entirely typical of the US government.

        Yep. We need a pitchfork party or we need to remove most of the dems from the democratic party. And all zionists need to be removed from every role of influence in our society. Then we need to gut the GOP like a fish.

        If any of that is not possible we need accelerationism and then to rebuild until it is.

      What world are you living in that you think the 25th amendment would work right now? Vance and Rubio are pieces of shit. But why would they throw away their lifelong careers of being pieces of fucking shit for something that would get them ostracized from their tribe, and leave the other side also hating them?

      Sorry, full on all of your names, just like all the Germans that allowed the Nazis to do what they did, or any of the other examples. Unlike other countries y’all can actual buy weapons too, so it’s even worse - at least the Russians can’t just go and buy a gun around the block.

        So you need a news reporter to declare its a war crime before you will use your own brain and understand the definitions of war crimes, is that whats going on here?

          Yes. For the dummies, you do. What is hard to understand about this? Not everybody well informed or educated enough to know what is and is not a war crime.

        Attacking a reservoir is illegal (war crime) as it is a piece of civilian infrastructure. All attacks on civilian infrastructure are crimes of war and can be punished under the Geneva Conventions.

            They bombed a reservoir.

            That is a war crime.

            The article doesn’t need to explicitly say “they gone and done some war crimes” for that to be the case.

              Almost certain that the person you’re replying to is saying that the article should say that it’s a war crime, not that it isn’t one because the article doesn’t say so.

                This exactly. For the mouth-breathers out there who don’t understand why it’s a bad idea to bomb reservoirs, it’s important to state clearly this is a war crime.

                Of course, the fucking US Government has done countless war crimes and not been prosecuted. So… yeah.

    US just made it Total War, IRGC are hardcore fundamentalists, they’re not above poisoning an entire states water supply and you just gave them casus belli.

    Good work Orange Man.
