#2 Obama dropped 200,000 bombs killing and maiming tens of thousands of women and children, bombed a Doctors Without Borders hospital and sent gunners in to kill the fleeing nurses and patients.

> The attacks took place despite the fact that MSF had provided the GPS coordinates of the trauma hospital to the US Department of Defense, Afghan Ministry of Interior and Defense and US Army in Kabul as recently as Tuesday, 29 September. The attack continued for more than 30 minutes after we first informed Resolute Support and US military officials in Kabul and Washington that it was a hospital being hit.

Is this one of those things where it's OK when Democrats commit war crimes but not OK when anyone else does it?

#3 ^ It's not about only Democrats. Americans can commit, support and fund any attrocity on the globe as long the media provides the right vibes. And they can call it a sad but necessary action, one event in a long journey of America's evolution as the world's gunslinging cowboy.

God is an American.

#5 ^ Quick quiz: How did Libya go from a functioning socialist country where everyone got enough from the government to live to civil war and literal slave markets?

Khadaffy wasn't a good guy, but Jesus. Imagine for just a minute and put your own feet in the shoes of Libyans, Iraqis, Afghans, Yemenis, and Syrians. Each time you hear the name America, would you not feel badly physically existentially threatened?

The deep state in charge of the wars are horribly bad, evil people who need to be removed and replaced with a government that represents the interests of the American people. Obama and Bush need to be turned over to the ICC for trial at The Hague for war crimes.

#6 Why are Russian government controlled mercenaries in Libya fomenting war and division? That's a lot of hate for a few barrels of oil.

#7 How many regiments does the world court have to take Putin captive and bring him to trial?

That would be the fly in the ointment of this totally genius plan. But hey, it looks good on paper, right?

#8 ^#5: functioning socialist country

Debate 101: When you start out with a contradiction in terms, nothing that follows can be valid.

#9 Never going to happen. If it was, Obama would be there, Bush would be there, etc...

#10 How did Libya go from a functioning socialist country

The Al Qaeda-linked jihadis Libya produced in those years spawned ISIS-pledged jihadis in their children, who went on to blow up the children of the countries they fled to, while colonel Moammar Khadaffy trained and supported an endless list of primarily but not exclusively socialist/communist terrorist groups: a variety of Palestinians, the Black Panthers and Nation of Islam, Sandinistas, ANC, Provos, Red Brigades and Red Army Faction, Moros, etc.

Nice functioning you have there.

#11 Bringing the leader of a Permanent member of the Security Council up on war crimes is not get anywhere.

Also Russia has pact with China so even if Russia couldn't vote on this thing they are protected, and even without the pact China would be a fool as this would open them up to all sorts of crimes regarding their Muslim slave/organ donor population.

Lastly, if it went through, the leaders of the west would bring themselves up for real or imagined actions. None of them are gonna risk that kind of harassments.

This is stupid. If anything go after the General that got the order to ensure the next General given such orders might reconsider...
