BTW the July Harper’s has a seminal Notebook editorial piece that centers on all this evil as the extension in political, biological and social realms of Social Darwinism.
No wonder there are 35% to 40% of the electorate who in their very soul see the world as a “survival of the fittest” matter. It’s sad, it’s dumb and it’s the reality we’re trying to stop.
However, I will be damned if I’m going to die for the restoration of a BS Meritocratic society.
I agree with the Australian law professor's warning concerning the dangerous precedent of the Trump/Netanyahu bombing of Iran, but I fear that getting rid of Trump won't save international law from being torn to shreds by the US. Contempt for international law is bipartisan, as evidenced by the ever-worsening horror in Gaza and the anemic pushback from Democrats concerning the bombing of Iran.
Above I say "There’s nothing new about the US attacking other nations on false claims of grave, weapons-related threats those nations supposedly pose to the US and 'the international community'...What’s different now is the deranged lunatic Trump’s brazen disinterest in trying to make a serious public case for his wild shift." Certainly can add "there's nothing unique to Republican presidents...[rest of quote]..." Great example is Obama's disastrous bombing of Libya.
Thanks for taking the time to reply to my comment. I agree that no one is claiming that getting rid of Trump solves the problem of the US's destructive and vicious foreign policy. My trouble is that the Gaza genocide is so deeply disturbing that Trump's reckless and deplorable bombing of Iran doesn't seem that much worse than what's been going on since the invasions of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya. Yes, not trying first to propagandize the public is notably aberrant, but the context is US complicity in Israel's maniacal genocide of Palestinians.
Paul, Here we are again citing item after item in the ever increasing assault by Fascism.
My most recent post (I don’t charge a dime for my substack) deals with the power of lies as the engine of Fascism.

Just to be clear, I don't know anybody who thinks that "getting rid of Trump [will] save international law from being torn to shreds by the US."
