Your comment is a tangent, but I feel compelled to point out that a US Secretary of State has an obligation to prioritize American lives over those of other countries' citizens.
- pessimizer 6y agoThere is absolutely no obligation of a US Secretary of State that they consider the lives of Americans who murder other countries' citizens more important than the lives of those other countries' citizens. I'm not sure where you read or heard this.
- chrisweekly 6y agoThat's quite a leap, and a strawman "argument". I said nothing of the kind.
- whatshisface 6y agoThere may be a competing duty to deal with war crimes somewhere in there as well... "Your side can do absolutely anything and it's still in the right" is a very common idea in national capitals around the world, but some would disagree with it.
