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.



nah 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.

Death 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.


I 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.


Bush 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.


Abu Ghraib, and deliberate violent destruction of a nation is a deeper offence than being "not great".


We 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.


If so, then also do the leadership of Hamas, Putin, etc. The US is not uniquely evil.


What 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.
