20. Isn't the statement itself a war crime?
Tue Apr 7, 2026, 09:02 AM
Yesterday

Why do we have to wait until he does it to stop him? He needs to be charged by the Hague. To never travel freely outside the US again. Crazy that there appears to be nothing we can do here.

I wonder if the military forced to carry out his orders will be in therapy for the rest of their lives for being the vehicle of this useless slaughter and all the repercussions that follow.
