The point of international courts is that you shouldn’t have to go to war to get justice, but I guess being a member of the military strongest state rule of the strongest is tempting. What you describe is by any definition a ‘rogue state’, one that accept no laws, no rules, and certainly one that has no business being…

The problem is if the order is illegal. Then you are screwed whatever you do. The Nürenberg trials made it clear that “just following order” isn’t a valid excuse, and the US military, in theory, has a rule like that. Yet, in reality, refusing to follow an order can get you punished no matter how illegal it was. It all…

Guess what: this was a war of aggression, illegal from the start. The attack on Falluja was an extra war crime within the larger war crime. 

In a modern analogy, imagine if he were a Hamas member casually talking about how he shot rockets as Israeli cities killing hundreds of civilians. (In reality those rockets kill very few, though).

No one can be sufficiently informed about everything in a position of power. The scary leaders are those who refuse to find competent advisors or listen to them, assuming they know better than anyone else or being afraid to have subordinates outshine them. 

At least everyone has holes in their knowledge like this. Stuff they ought to know but for some reason have missed. I’m sure if you asked the people laughing here you’d find they would make just as stupid mistakes on some issues.

Anyone read the “species imperative” books by Julie Czerneda? There you have an alien liking practical jokes who have gotten hold of a list of “ten most common myths humans have about aliens” and decide to try them all. Well, sort of, he doesn’t actually have sex with any human, but he makes sure to bring up at inappro…

Can we have some twitters from people in countries those soldiers invaded too, how their lives were affected? Maybe the prisoners at Guantanamo have something to say.

Odds are the Secret Service would love dragging him out of the White House too. 

The reverse of Aragorn’s journey. 

Since Bran can’t have children, staying in the kingdom also means you can try to make your own child the next king. The Game of Thrones never end, even if they need a new throne.

The Night King used the opportunity close to Bran to Warg into him, that’s why he was so easy to kill. He lost his old body, but is now in a perfect position to wreak vengeance, starting with corrupting Dany so she burned King’s Landing.

Like the ending of the old movie ‘Dragonslayer’.

Or hire some competent economists to handle the financial part and do less micromanagement. 

I’m getting so freezing sick of these stupid American wars. IMHO the real problem is that while USA is the country start starts by far the most war it hasn’t had to suffer the consequences of war at home since the civil war. It’s some kind of hobby to send out soldiers, and more and more just drones, to kill people…

Or Clinton who bombed Sudan’s largest pharmaceutical factory for some incomprehensible reason.

I think people get that battle all wrong. Killing the Tarly’s for refusing to bend the knee wasn’t so bad. The way she torched all the supplies with winter on the way was unforgivable. We were told how Bronn was tasked with collecting the last grain from the farmers so this will make starving a lot worse, and there…

He has some henchmen too.

I think he is more expecting to own the place. Can you imagine living in a capitalist paradise where some rich asshole owns the air you breathe?

10) Lots of fat contracts for the military industry
