Nuremberg style judicial proceedings.
Not necessarily with similar judicial executions. Fair trials and fair and exemplary punitive measures would be enough for me.
I lost respect when Obama let Bush Jr administration off the hook. It essentially set the tone that it is ok to behave like that, that there would be no consequences.
- iso1631 8mo agoBush wasn't great with Iraq, but it was hardly the first bad foreign policy move the US has made, and Obama wasn't squeaky clean. Jan 6th 2021 was the turning point.
- srean 8mo agoAbu Ghraib, and deliberate violent destruction of a nation is a deeper offence than being "not great".
- red-iron-pine 8mo agonah the world needs to see there are consequences, and that the US can be trusted to follow through on them. this kind of corruption and extortion, if in China, would see executions, e.g. https://nordictimes.com/world/china-executes-senior-official-convicted-of-corruption https://nordictimes.com/world/china-executes-senior-official...
- srean 8mo agoDeath sentences worry me because they are irreversible and can be abused and they have been, see Pakistan, Bangladesh. At most, old Singapore style corporeal punishment added to the mix perhaps.
- srean 8mo agoI am very eager to understand the down votes. Corporeal punishment too harsh to allow in exceptional cases or too mild for the warcrimes and other crimes in question ? I will not judge the responses. Just curious.
- cbHXBY1D 8mo agoWe need a Nuremberg trial for the genocide in Gaza, the ethnic cleansing in Lebanon, the ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, and the illegal attacks on 7 countries in the Middle East. We need to prosecute both the Biden and Trump administration, the Israeli leadership, and the leadership of most European countries. Never again is never again.
- AnimalMuppet 8mo agoIf so, then also do the leadership of Hamas, Putin, etc. The US is not uniquely evil.
- cbHXBY1D 8mo agoWhat Israel and the USA is doing in the ME is uniquely evil. There are likely hundreds of thousands dead in Gaza. Children intentionally killed by snipers, famine as a tool of war, the displacement of millions of people.
