I don’t think the US respects or acknowledges international criminal courts. Does it 🤔?
Criminals doesn’t usually agree with the laws they break…
Nah, they agree with them, they just didn’t learn about categorical imperative in school.
They do not. They also have a law on the books that authorizes them to invade the International Criminal Court in the case it holds a US citizen for prosecution. And that’s not a new law, it’s like 20+ years old.
I also find it pretty funny how Americans think there will be any sort of reckoning for what’s happening now. There won’t be, these people got away with it once and will do so again.
They were only obeying command, we already know that form Germany.
Nuremberg was a failure. 180 convictions. To put that in perspective, over the course of the war, 8000 - 9000 Germans served in Aushuwitz alone. In total about 25% of those that served as Nazis during WW2 died in combat. That’s at least 6000 Nazis that experienced and participated in first hand, the systematic and industrial execution of innocent people on a mass scale. They released the gas, they pushed them in, they shot those that resisted, and they showed up again the next day to do it again. And that’s a single camp.
180 convictions.
Say what you will about Stalin. But I’m starting to think the story about him “joking” about executing every single German officer (50-100k) was actually the right idea. The world today would have been better for it.
Note the officers specifics. He still would steal the scientists and engineers.
Unfortunately it was never about “justice” or “punishment” but about doing the minimum possible to prevent society doing ourselves.
Stalin’s go-to for any problem was executions. Milk came too late or the top was pecked by birds? Execute the milkman. Made a joke that bombed at a party and people didn’t laugh? Execute them all. Sneezed a little too hard and left a bit of bogey on your outrageously large moustache? Execute anyone who saw it.
In reality the exact opposite is happening as the people who stood up for their neighbors are the ones on trial instead.
Support the Minneapolis 15!
Nuremberg happened after the Nazis were defeated. While they were in power, they regularly oppressed those against the party line.
So what’s happening is still a parallel to 1930’s Germany.
“I was only following orders, boo-hoo!“
“Certainly, nobody has ever been blamed for that!”
“Orange baboon Hitler daddy, give me a pardon!”

It’s cute that you think there’s going to be one. The Democrats will take power, pardon or ignore every crime by the Trump administration in the name of ‘unity’, and justice will never be done.
I feel like the we’ll get is them getting the Pol Pot treatment. They lose power than spend their time unsuccessfully trying to get it back until dying of natural causes and never facing the consequences of what they did.
We can hope.
Uh, the guy in the meme got away with it. What am I missing here?
You really think the ICE agents won’t?
Ohh I see, because of all the history of accountability in america…
They’ll possibly stand by for a few years, then get back pay and retirements
They’re already losing and having to pay back their $50k bonuses as they get fired just before their contractually required length of employment to earn it. Who is gonna pay them back money they’re not owed?
