Hence the term "Delphic", commonly used in English to mean "dangerously ambiguous".
But in this case, there's not really much ambiguity - Trump is openly threatening genocide and, as a result, is destroying any remaining moral authority that the USA might once have had.

- roryirvine 7mo agoPutin will be loving it, but I guess China that must be likely to emerge as the real winners from this. At what point are the US military expected to refuse unlawful orders? Some form of high-level mutiny might actually be the best way forward for America right now.

- hkpack 7mo agoDoes anyone knows why current US administration keeps aligning with Chinese interests in their actions while proclaiming that China is their main adversary? They even send JD Vance to support Orban in his elections. The same Orban and Hungary which Xi Jinping supports and recently visited out of all the EU. You cannot agree with someone on so many actions and keep pretending that you are against each other.
- tim333 7mo agoI think the Chinese interests is a coincidence. Trump behaves very much like Putin has something on him and Orban is Putin's main asset in the EU. That said the general chaos of Russia vs the west and US against Iran makes China relatively stronger as it sits things out and watches.

- graybeardhacker 7mo agoIf you unplug a life support system and a person dies did you kill a person or just disable their critical infrastructure?
- moi2388 7mo agoIf you’re a doctor? You have not killed the person, you let them die in peace, if you want to continue the reductio ad absurdum? Or if you put CO2 in the atmosphere you are contributing to toxicity and global warming? We don’t know which infrastructure he wants to attack, and even if people do die, that is still not genocide. Genocide is very clear intent to destroy a people. Destroying infrastructure, or any war, is serious enough as is, we don’t need to fake arguments here.
- jacquesm 7mo ago> we don’t need to fake arguments here Indeed we don't. So why make them?
- muwtyhg 7mo ago> We don’t know which infrastructure he wants to attack I think you may be living under a rock. He has announced multiple times that he wants to go after oil processing, power plants, desalination plants, and bridges. His threat for today's deadline (made last week) is to destroy every power plant and bridge in the country.
- moi2388 7mo agoHe just got a cease fire and opening of the strait. Such genocide. Morons.
