If you're a political appointee. I guaran-damn-tee you the proles below the rank of four-star (or possibly below Cabinet secretary) will still be getting spanked for security violations.

Irrelevant. One, we’re no longer in an era of international rules-based order. All the great powers agree on this.

Two, the definition of war crimes has expanded so broadly as to include any collateral damage. This overinclusiveness has rendered the term meaningless, with everyone calling everything they don’t like a war crime.

There will be consequences for this administration. But not because they bombed a terrorist commander.

Can you provide real examples of actual journalists or governments doing this? Random FB commenters don't know what any words mean, but I haven't seen this to be the case in actual official channels. Asserting that it is meaningless feels like trying to downplay or trivialize real war crimes that are actually happening.

Sadly, those consequences will be for the country and not the individuals involved.

That does unfortunately add the element of incentive to win at all costs to the picture. c.f. PM of Israel.

it's true that the US-axis powers are extremely dangerous and short sighted, but they are also weakening. let's hope for victory over the empire.

Whose victory over the “empire”? I think you will find whatever empire comes next will be worse

which empire? the energy cartels or global finance? The national baton is passed on as cursory reading of Western history over the past few centuries [shows].

let's hope it's reaching its endpoint friend. it seems like the natural country to pick up the baton is China, but they have a sufficiently different economic system that maybe there will be a break in the chain. it depends on the strength, rationality, and solidarity of the CPC.
