You'll need to hang the whole congress, the senate, the white house, a good portion of the supreme court and several thousands more just to start with the heads of all this.

Then we can talk about how to purge your population.

Don't threaten me with a good time

And the CEO's and tech leaders and investment firms who finance and profit from all of this.

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@piefed.social 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Those are part of the several thousands. I'm thinking of billionaires, CEOS, techbros, media moguls...

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Some should be much further up on the list. They are as key to this as Turmpa himself.

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Obviously them, arms contractor's ceo's, oil ceo's. Hedge fund and private equity bosses just because.

My representative in Congress has been against this at every turn, vocally so. I don't think she deserves to hang.

Officers who commit war crimes CANNOT be let off the hook if we end this madness. They are required to refuse illegal orders, and they should be held to account.

We can no longer afford to let people off in the name of national healing. Anyone complicit in these crimes must be severely punished - otherwise we're just sending a message to future despots that there's no risk to pursuit of their goals.

The US definitely needs denazification.

May? May???

There is no may! Everyone of those fuckers who thinks they can hide behind "I was only following orders" can be charged with war crimes and executed for all I care. Following orders when you KNOW they are illegal and KNOW they are reprehensible beyond all belief...? You think you deserve to be absolved? Nah fuck you.

When writing or calling my reps I've started opening with "We will hold you criminally accountable for enabling Trump's war crimes."

When I actually get a human, I tell them they need to find a new job as they will also be considered part of the conspiracy.

[–] MithranArkanere@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not "might", "must", and for all the things, from the Supreme Court's corruption to the corporate sponsorship of all the crime and genocide.

Not to be overly depressive and cynical but the Nuremberg trials were, in practice, show trials and very few people were actually held accountable.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The show was the important part. The trials put the crimes on display for the world, essentially as a deterrent. And it kinda sorta worked for almost a hundred years! Too bad we apparently have to relearn this lesson every so often.

A second chance means a chance to do it right, and learn from the mistakes of others.

Here's a good place to start: Nazi Billionaires: The Dark History of Germany's Wealthiest Dynasties

We should really be doing a better job keeping track of the current line of Nazi billionaires being created in the U.S.

The criminals in the Epstein case may need prosecution.

This is one jury I'd absolutely be thrilled to participate in.

[–] tackleberry@thelemmy.club 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

For the US and Israel to truly experience this "Nuremberg" like trials you speak off, they have to lose the war. Germany did not win their wars nor was it a German judiciary that tried the cases.

Minneapolis trials with public executions on the national mall.

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It’s not going to come from within. The only way it’s going to happen at this point is for the US to be invaded and deposed as a whole, with leadership captured and held accountable. And well, I’m not taking any bets on that happening.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

The United States' economy depends on the goodwill of the world. Without their control of the international reserve currency it would utterly collapse. If that were to happen then the rest of the world would be in a strong position to make demands of the United States.

However, over the last few decades most western economies have become so entwined with America that a US collapse would take them down as well. Efforts have been made in the last few months to reduce those entanglements, but there's still a long way to go. If you want justice to be brought to America then the best thing you could do is boycott US goods and service whenever possible.

[–] MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Before, after, or as a double-feature with Epstein trials?

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Its gonna definitely need a multinational panel to prosecute

[–] BenReilly97@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Just for Iran?

lol the lack of balls on some people

say it like you mean it. it's a requirement.

You are reacting to the headline not the quote.

“I’m old enough to remember the Nuremberg trials and how we’ve held the Germans accountable after… the atrocities they committed during World War II,” Brigadier General Steve Anderson told CNN Tuesday.

“And I’d hate to think… five, 10 years from now, we’d be doing the same kind of thing with American soldiers and leaders that made decisions that were being directed by the president of the United States that are illegal.”
