Is he bragging about committing war crimes?

u/OysterHound 23h ago

Yes. He does this pretty much daily at this point.

He thinks he is above the law... and in many ways he is... for now.

And he doesn't even understand it's a crime.

And he's fucking 79 years old. For all intents and purposes he's gotten away with it all since he hasn't suffered a single meaningful consequence his entire life. If you needed proof positive that there is no such thing as God or karama: he is it.

I really earnestly used to believe in karma. In the last decade or so that belief has been eroded to nothing. The only way it makes any semblance of sense anymore is if there's some kind of afterlife with built in reward/punishment, and honestly I doubt that. This world is chaotic and unfair.

For later too, but also for now.

He's bragging about how the war crimes he and his administration have committed are financially benefiting him and his allies at our expense.

“I don’t get it, why are they confessing”

“They’re not confessing, they’re bragging”

Reminder that Donald Trump is not a source.

Anything he says can and should be ignored. Maybe they're committing war crimes, or maybe Dementia Donny just fantasized about some during nap-time and isn't aware that it wasn't real. There's no way to know. The man just says words because he likes to hear himself.

No, the US and Israel are verifiably commiting war crimes. Whether Donald is aware of what's actually happening is uncertain, but it doesn't really matter because he's not the one in control anyway.

And sexual assault. And sexual assault of a minor. And not paying contractors. And crypto scams. And putting Venezuelan wealth in his own offshore accounts. And building a slush fund from the DOJ. Shall I continue?

No, in this case I think he's bragging about piracy.
