The United States is set Tuesday to become the first country to fully shun a regular review of its human rights record at the U.N.'s top rights body since it was created two decades ago.
The Trump administration last year pulled the U.S. out of the Human Rights Council, accusing it of an anti-U.S. and anti-Israel bias, and alleging that it didn’t uphold the very values it promotes.
Supporters back the council’s mandate to keep tabs on human rights in all U.N. member states including the U.S., which has drawn criticism for its policies including strong-arm deportations and targeted killings of alleged drug-runners in the Caribbean and Pacific — which the administration has said are designed to protect U.S. workers and help keep the country safe.
That’s a graceful excuse you made for why they killed those girls. they don’t deserve it, but it’s very green and cute. Adorable.
I’m not excusing it. I said it to say how much more horrifying and awful it is that this admin can’t be bothered to check because they don’t give a shit.
They’re fucking monsters that don’t deserve excuses.
Why would anyone accept that it was an accident
Because its not consistent with the war goals, or the phase of the war. You gotta go into conspiracy land to make sense of this as a targeted event. There’s just no sensible reason even for these monsters.
Terror and destruction, for all you know they laughed when it happened as they planned. Its not conspiracy talk, it’s not giving the benefit of the doubt to the worst people in leadership positions the US has ever had.
I’m not going to defend these asshats. It still strikes me as inconsistent, which is the reason why I, personally, in this instance, don’t immediately jump to the conclusion it was a targeted attack. That should be enough to answer the question.
And it is explicitly not a moral valuation of the personal involved. I think they’d be best be brought before by the institution they fear most: the ICC.
