My fellow Americans, ours is a rogue state.

Panama, 1989, Bush The First.
@jeffjarvis No doubt about. Led by a meglamaniac.
@jeffjarvis The USA has been a rogue state for a long time. It's just much more blatantly obvious now.
@jeffjarvis it started when Obama stated the Budapest Memorandum obligations that cite all UN Charter, authority of the UN SC and the NPT are void... because it's not ratified by the Congress (lol) and it was assurances not guarantees (lol) and seeking action means nobody finds it even (ROFL!)
That's the norm now. The techno-fascist nations and groups that felt isolated and restricted by international law have waged a global campaign for the better part of 20 years to help bring about this context.
It's going to be rogue states all the way down, US was just prioritized as the biggest domino. Welcome to the "multipolar world" (see; euphemism for boot on human face forever, everywhere).
for quite a while now...
@jeffjarvis
You just realized it?
Strictly speaking, good old USA never cared about international law that much, but you didn't flaunt it that much daily as you do under #Trump
@jeffjarvis I am embarrassed to be an American, a country run by an evil dictator, voted in by racist morons.
@jeffjarvis unbelievable… shame on this megalomaniac narcissist… what could possibly go wrong…
@jeffjarvis Don’t kid yourself, America is a Nazi state!
@jeffjarvis unfortunately a majority of your fellow Americans don't think as you do...
@jeffjarvis A NAZIS STATE!

Putin may be jealous now, Trump succeeded his "special operation".
@jeffjarvis has been so since the age of dawn or so.
Allende Chile
Somosa
And so many more.
The US has never followed any international laws when it thought it benefits them to break them. Trump is just continuing this.
Presidents have told soldiers to kill, without evidence, without court cases, without legitimacy.
Trump and Vance said they do not want this and were partially elected because of that. Another lie, another broken promise. But who counts, MAGA does not.
@jeffjarvis Always has been.
@jeffjarvis Exactly my thoughts 4 hours before: https://mastodon.online/@NatureMC/115831379835278005
@jeffjarvis congress was blind sided, so only TOC are rogue.
@jeffjarvis greatest democracy in the world indeed
And a mafia state.

<always has been.jpg> meme? :>
@jeffjarvis has been for a century. Ask other countries.
@jeffjarvis There are three kinds of world states IMO: the first are the actual rogue states, the second are the accomplices of the first, and the third are those who strive to become rogue states themselves one day. I apologize for my cynicism.
@jeffjarvis Any country in the EU hereby has a formal invitation to abduct and try Trump as a war criminal.
@jeffjarvis Trump's attack is no different from Mussolini's attack on Abyssinia, Hitler's attack on Poland, Hirohito's attack on Pearl Harbor, Bush's attack on Afghanistan and Iraq, and Putin's attack on Ukraine. It is an unacceptable crime and should be interpreted as such. The international consequences are terrible, and that is what should concern us now.
@jeffjarvis Trump has made America grate again ...
