USA's War Crimes

[King Billy]

I don’t want to see Iran win, far from it but the USA can’t win either. They needed a much more detailed plan and planning in order to determine the best way to deal with Iran. Trump has just gone on a mission of his own and like a bull in a china shop has created a war he cannot win and unlikely to receive much support for his bunglin, it would take a miracle now for him to reach any goal. Before he attacked Iran he should have put it to the allies first. Instead he went right ahead with no goal or measure of what a win even is. Surface damage to infrastructure is not a win.

I might wait until the fat lady sings.

I personally think she is. Only the Arabs and Israel can help but I am now doubting the UAE will get involved until they absolutely have to.

The only way this could be a win. But is it really a win as the straits was open before Trump steamed in. I would say it is more getting back to stage 1.

Sadly the UAE are seeking a UN resolution before joining in, China and Russia have the power of veto on any resolution.

Then this ??

UAE denies report claiming it wants to join war to open Strait of Hormuz

Response comes after Wall Street Journal reported that UAE is preparing to support US-led efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by force - Anadolu Ajansı

Yes just been reading some reports here at bomber command. They have a right to defence and why I am saying the only way for us a win is if the UAE join in. I doubt they will unless the Houthis seal off the Red Sea.

We most certainly know which way the Russian vote will go. I wouldn’t bank on China to back Iran as it would hurt their economy.

All these issues, worthy as they are, belong, or have even been mentioned in the other thread: Trumps attack on Iran - 2026 edition

What about the topic in this thread: USA's War Crimes

Maybe it would have been good for the USA and the UK not to have overthrown democracy in Iran in the first place?

Would you support the state of Iran overthrowing democracy in the UK, as a response if the UK government had nationalised Iranian company owned oilfields in the North Sea?

I agree with your implied content, but my comment above also applies.

We are now in a situation where "terrorists" and "civilised" countries are now accused of war crimes, Crimes against Humanity, Ethnic Cleansing and Genocide.

Who are the terrorists?

Is "terrorist" just a label applied to an enemy to justify extra judicial killing, to influence public opinion, to garner support for war and violence against "them"?

When powerful civilised countries commit war crimes with impunity (as they always have done throughout history - (British and other Empires), does any semblance of international rules based system serve any purpose?

Throughout history war crimes were covered up, written out, or never mentioned by the history writers of the powerful "war criminals".
Today, that isn't possible because the International media, experts, UN organisations, etc have the opportunity to publish their opinions during and after any conflict. Powerful "war criminals" cannot simply write those crimes out of history.
