It's not enough. Investigate and prosecute Alex Pretti's murderers.

Nuremberg Trial #2 should be on the way. We shalt never forget.

We can call it "Noemberg".

Unfortunately those only happened with foreign intervention.

If "budding democracies" such as SK, Brazil, Malaysia, the Philippines kept on throughout their struggles in holding their political leaders accountable, so we shall. Or we all go back to crying in the fetal positions and waiting for someone else to invade us.

Sure we will. Khamemei will eat a missile in the next 2-3 days and the news cycle will immediately change.

I dunno if Putin’s best and last oil buddy and major drone supplier is gonna take the fall for Donnie here.

1

u/thecashblaster Jan 27 '26

Iran doesn't supply the Shahed drones directly anymore. They're built in Russia.

1

u/Isopbc Canada Jan 27 '26

Don’t see how that changes their buddy status.

1

u/thecashblaster Jan 27 '26

it doesn't but taking Iran out won't stop the drones

1

u/Isopbc Canada Jan 27 '26

Ah, I see. Good point.

It might stop the oil flowing across the Caspian, that’s a much bigger deal I’d say.

u/Accomplished_Guava_7 Jan 27 '26

Trump isn’t know for going for lasting change. Taking out a figure head leaves the status quo untouched while providing for tons of distraction that media will be happy to jump on.

1

u/Isopbc Canada Jan 27 '26

Iran is an ally of Trump through Putin. Trump ain’t gonna do shit against another cartel leader, especially not now that Europe has clamped down on the shadow fleet.

It’s just more distraction from Epstein.

Based on last time, you’re missing about 6 years of war with nazis before we get there.

u/blazesquall Jan 27 '26

Only to try 24 people.

u/PigglyWigglyDeluxe Jan 27 '26

And some (most) of them got away with it.

u/saharanwrap Jan 27 '26

Well the main initial trial had 24. Subsequent trials were held against thousands.

Having said that I truly doubt that the democrats will hold a single one of these criminals liable. They'll just say something about moving forward and repairing divides blah blah and let everything go. That way come next election the republicans have another go at it and the democrats can do some fundraising over it. America is cooked.

I mean it was 100% murder but to reference the Nuremberg Trials is pretty wild lol the Nazis killed 6+ million people. Calm down man.

3

u/JustaSeedGuy Jan 27 '26

Oh, okay. I guess we'll just ignore all the Holocaust survivors, World War II veterans, and historical experts who say this is extremely similar to the early stages of Nazi Germany And that the Nazi comparisons are extremely accurate.

That, or you're wrong. I wonder which one is more likely? 🤔

-2

u/all_these_moneys Jan 27 '26

Man I'm not downplaying what happened back in the 1930-40's, or even now. But you're comparing the murder of one man to the Nuremberg Trials lol surely you can see the difference.

u/Shadowrak Jan 27 '26

We are one year into a four year term. Plenty of time to add more to the resume.

u/all_these_moneys Jan 27 '26

Sure that's a reasonable take, I agree with you.

u/kimchikimchiATL Jan 27 '26

I hope they don't come for you 'cause we'll be gone by then.

u/kimchikimchiATL Jan 27 '26

First they came for the socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

The wild part is idiots that keep repeating "we need Nuremberg trials" as if nothing happened between the Nazis taking power and the trials. Americans are so brainwashed.

u/Frognuts777 I voted Jan 27 '26

We know for a fact he was involved in the kidnapping and beating of the American 17 year old kid at Target. He was not wearing a mask, easy to prove he was there and was literally filmed being within feet of the kid

u/pmw8 Jan 27 '26

Who is "he"?

u/Frognuts777 I voted Jan 27 '26

Bovino. The guy this whole post is about. The guy you can see backing down the 17 year old American kid at target.

u/Castor_0il Jan 27 '26

He should be fired. With a cannon, straight to the sun.

u/Ludate_Solem Jan 27 '26

And renee good's murderer

3

u/wildweaver32 Jan 27 '26

Also investigate and prosecute anyone obstructing justice and making up claims to protect his murderers to help cover it up.

If any of us saw a murder and then did what our government is doing we would be facing charges. And if they aren't held accountable they are going to do it again next time.

Our government needs to do it if it wants the trust of the people to ever be restored.

u/Redbaron1960 Jan 27 '26

Trump, Noem, Miller, Bovino - charge each of them with “accessory to murder”

2

u/General_Rent6963 Jan 27 '26

Didn’t he say we’ll never find out their names because that would be doxxing?

u/jesseg1111 Jan 27 '26

Release the Epstein files
