Where Are The Hague & The UN

Krasnov is telling everyone that he is going to commit hundreds of war crimes today.

The UN drafted a resolution to open up Hormuz, how about a resolution to address any war crimes that are committed?

The MSM is treating this like a video game. Every journalist when talking about the proposed invasion tonight should preface it by calling out the planned attacks as war crimes.

Democrats need another video to remind our military to not follow illegal orders.

Bombing nuclear power plants is akin to dropping nuclear bombs.

Oh and whatever Israel does, we own it.

So much for Krasnov coming to the aid of unwashed Iranians.

And the US is cruising for a bruising on that front too.
