The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

More than just “plainly illegal. It’s an actual war crime.

Quibble. "A bombing intended to kill people in the Caribbean, outside the context of a legally recognized "armed conflict," would
not be considered a "war crime" but would likely amount to extrajudicial murder under domestic and international human rights law."

Thus, I want the US to bring the charges, not the ICC. I'd have a show trial and sacrifice Hegsdeath, ignore the rest of the military, but underscore with them that next time we won't, they have to be willing to step down and not carry out that order. That may be why they saved the survivors of the submarine (it could get very complicated). But that's me, YMMV.

If we attack the mainland, I'd have to rethink all of that. :)
