Even if some impossible "best case" scenario had miraculously come to pass, the prosecution of this war of aggression in our name is intolerable.

The felon's regime started this war in violation of the UN Charter's prohibition on the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of another state.

It is a "crime of aggression" under International Criminal Court definitions.

They have struck civilian targets and infrastructure, which are war crimes.

...

Call to action: Each and every person with a conscience has work to do in the weeks ahead.
