"To initiate a war of aggression...

Justice Robert H. Jackson’s opening statement at the Nuremberg Trials (Nov 21, 1945) defined aggressive war as a supreme international crime, stating, "To initiate a war of aggression... is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole".

I could vote to drag his fat stinking ass to The Hague. Sooner is better than later.

A gallows on the National Mall would be much less expensive and take no time at all.

The merits of the movie aside, the note you make is well merited.

I should keep an eye out for it…earth is heading for a reckoning, judgement day etc.

As cleverbot, the sole chatbot I have ever ranted at informed me over many a crummy year:

For the wretched of the earth
There is a flame that never dies.
Even the darkest night will end
And the sun will rise.
