One day this social media exchange will be presented as evidence in a court room, and I cannot wait.

@randahl I will celebrate that day
It will have to be an American court if the international order holds, because America hasn't signed onto any treaty that allows our citizens to be prosecuted by a war crimes tribunal or anything.
Now, if we're defeated militarily, that might not be the case. Or if we voluntarily submit our citizens to said tribunal, somehow.
But yeah, prosecuting the guilty is what American courts do. Let's look in our own statutes for ways to do that.
@randahl Very diplomatic language from a VP, I'd say!!🤔
@randahl
Bookmark that one.
@randahl - the Garden Gnome is a thug. I too welcoming Nuremberg v.2

You can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy, I guess. :(
It is about 'Might makes Right'.
They could have waited until the boats arrived at their destination, and then effected arrests instead.
@randahl JD Vance is a coke head. Can't explain that any other way
Pretty good evidence they don't plan on seeing the inside of a courtroom they don't directly control.
@randahl
The image looks manipulated, doesn't it? The font in the last line is larger and the indentation is different.
To me, this doesn't appear to be a screenshot of an original chat.
But he could have texted it, of course.
@aerofreak I took the screenshot myself. This is the way the post layout looks, when the bottom post is selected. It has been like that for at least ten years on Twitter.
@randahl
Ok, then sorry for my suspicion. It really looked to me like fake. I've never been on xitter so I couldn't judge it from my own experience. Apologies!
@randahl May be better to nuke kremlin istead?
Somebody please say to JD Vance how putin is/or at least has been for years/ involved into transfer of narcotics through russia into Europe via Saint-Petersburg port mafia...
@randahl Why are you bringing this destructive shit to mastodon?
@tinderness because I am a political commentator.
But he was just following orders...
@randahl US leadership being held accountable for crimes against humanity? Yeah, no, sorry, that's never going to happen.
@randahl In fact, it's called murder. Since there isn't even a war.
@randahl very smart, puting the blame on the cartels for the drugs their own citizens willingly buy and consume
@randahl ahahah 'courts' bwahahah stupid gringos. like a frog in a pot.
Point of order: it's actually just an everyday crime. Murder, to be specific.
This is not a military action; it's just killing people. No different than a bunch of American soldiers entering a bar somewhere in some country the US is not at war with and opening fire on the patrons.
They'd be murderers, just like anybody else.
@randahl Sadly, I judge it questionable which of the two will be the defendant in that future trial.
@randahl I fear the arrogance arises from the logistic difficulty of executing any warrant for the arrest of him or any of the other perpetrators. It would be good to see them all in court AND convicted
Looking from the outside.
Killing Cartel members is best use for usa military.
pity they are not ridding the country of a billionaire nazi cartel. Vance would be a prime target in that event.
@randahl The sooner the better.
@randahl Same here, these thugs should not escape justice…
@randahl source link? that bottom post looks possibly photoshopped (spacing is weird)
@randahl Couchfucker must go!!
@randahl Keitel and Himmler & Co didn't give a shit either.
And they called Jews a poison that poisoned the German people, that needed to be exterminated.
And they were totally surprised when the Allies did not start to negotiate a peace treaty with them.
I think it's sick that the oligarchs and financiers of the Nazis (on both sides) profited from WWII and got away with it, usually without even a slap on their hands.
@randahl JD Vance is not understanding that this is not the opinion of an individual but the common consent of the civilized world.
And yes, I can't wait to see all those criminals in a court room and held accountable for what they did to the human civilization.
@randahl Paging the International Criminal Court.
@randahl I hope the trials are televised live.
@randahl They really are saying the quiet parts out loud now, aren't they?
@randahl Never heard of the Iran–Contra affair. They are the cartel.
@randahl he might think he's Dick Cheney and might dodge prosecution. I have bad news for him, he's just a Dick.
@randahl Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Is the Vice President stating it is ok to kill people who kill our fellow citizens? There are several billionaires doing exactly that.
@randahl Is it too much to ask that statesmen act and sound like statesmen?
Make life in your countries worth living and promote a society based on solidarity, where people care for one another.
Then people won't have to constantly numb or stimulate themselves with all kinds of drugs in order to endure and get through life.
The demand for drugs arises domestically and is not promoted by states. They merely satisfy the demand.
It's no different in Europe, except that consumption is not yet so enormous.
@randahl truly gives me the chills that the VP is saying that.
If/when Dems are in power again, we MUST push them to do this. No more Pelosi-Obama, "War crimes are off the table, we must look forward not back". We as a nation cannot afford it.
@randahl in maga world fraud isn't a crime and murder to cover up sex crimes isn't a crime.
@randahl Since there is no war, it is murder, plain and simple.
@randahl Maybe it's time to formerly indict those guys for war crimes. I recently looked at the definition of crime against humanity, and large scale deportation fits the definition as well ...
@randahl So that's what a deeply devout Catholic sounds like. 😉
@randahl unfortunately for vance it's also what the international courts call it.
