Cool cool.
same story. the forces rap3ed women, killed innocent men, when they protested with pelting stones at forces, they called them terr0rists. And no one is held accountable. they are protected by law.
His record of behavior shows who he is! Goggle him!

But i read the article, and there aren’t actual quotes of paragraphs of conversation… just a couple of cherry-picked lines. Though quite concerning, there isn’t enough here to crucify this guy yet. GET MORE
I regret that now, but it's much clearer in his books. He's blatant that there's no such thing in his mind as War Crime.

Posting accomplishes nothing
But writing and calling do

Fits the MO
The year America declared there ARE some people above the law.
The year Democrats (officially) began negotiating with terrorists.*
*actually started in 2020
☎️ Calling does, however! ☎️
Call these senators, tell them you’re a constituent, and tell them to vote NO on 45’s violent picks
It’s the wknd, let’s fill up those voicemail boxes ☎️
Young men and women off to fight another billionaires war for no reason other to make the billionaires more money.
The plan is to use the US military against civilians. And Pete is totally on board. The q is "What does Sen Ernst think?"
Are we seriously going to tolerate this violent Christian nationalist white supremacist asshole? His arrested adolescent Colonel Miles Quaritch fixation is not only embarrassing; it's dangerous. American's seriously need to grow the fuck up! Enough!

This puts pressure on professional US military personnel to abide by international law and maintain courage and ethics
for human life. Can you imagine the horror and mayhem that could result?
Just the kind of military perfectly designed for a despot like trump.
They all have to go. Four more years will be an eternity
I wouldn’t be surprised if orders are to drop them off at the border and tell them to walk back…just like they came here.
Shooting civilians, raping, and looting is okay! 👍

And isn't this also what most western governments - led by the USA - have effectively allowed the Israeli military to do?
Zero accountability.
The precedents set by the "Palestine Laboratory" are deeply worrying.
