It's best to just ignore the alt-right media.

Like when Russia was trying to frame Ukrainians as running a Nazi network, and ordered a photo to include "three sim cards".... But agents interpreted it to me, three copies of the game, The Sims?

Oh, birds are mostly screaming at each other in their equivalent of Italian. They'd do rude gestures - but no hands.

The US was at war with Hitler, and has given other genocidal regimes weapons.

That's not where my interest lays, it lays in practical, and applicable solutions.

You don't have any, I don't have any.

But also, if you're trying to apply US law, then they don't have to be a functional democracy - just recognized as one by the US.

So that's a naive approach.

That's what the periodic expansion of the Supreme Court is for... Should that happen, it won't be the first time it's expanded, and may not be the last. Seems to the officially nominated fix, but it might need to eventually be shrunk again if such a process is to work every time.

You should definitely rewatch that episode, he's playing dumb to test the Captain's ability to swindle and swindler.

Both, it's a Netenyahu problem and it's attached to conspiracy theories around the assassination of the guy before him. The right wing captured cultural territory there that the progressive left have never been able to shift back, and it resulted in a lot of the population shifting to the right.

To play devil's advocate, leahy law;

...prohibits the U.S. Department of State and Department of Defense from providing military assistance to foreign security force units that violate human rights with impunity.

But the fact that Israel is a democracy, suggests there are reprocessions, eg. Netenyahu could lose the election, and even face reprocessions from the next elected leader. So that's not acting "with impunity".

Israel has taken measures to make their genocide look considered (eg. Dropping flyers, naming bombing targets)... And to some extent, anyone wanting to claim they're acting woth impunity (although it's highly unlikely they'll ever see reprocessions) - will have similar issues to those faced at Nuremberg, where the US didn't want to invent laws to accuse them of being guilty of or having violated (as that would look like a kangaroo court, or future crime)...

...and unfortunately, due to the US having it's own patchy human rights record, they avoid being a signatatory to international courts like The Hague.

So yeah, your claim wouldn't be substantiated. It's not that simple, you may as we'll be claiming we can "reform our way our of Capitalism"..... That's a nice idea (as Leahy Law is), but they're just not practically applicable.

Which is why I directed people to the "Rules for Rulers" video (by CPG grey), because it explains these basics to Socialists who basically live in these fantasy land conceptions of politics.

Of course fantasy land conceptions get upvotes, reality checks get downvotes, it's a great system, designed to cause mental stagnation and "apathy through idealism" in the masses.

Sonic was really not the game I thought would come true.
