Anyone who can so readily throw out the principle of anticipatory self defense knows that isn’t a “last window of opportunity” scenario.

Why do you want Denmark to break the law so badly?

Please explain how this meets the “last window of opportunity” restriction on anticipatory self-defense.

That article doesn’t give a single reason why it would be advantageous for Denmark to preemptively break the treaty.

You realize that treaties have legal repercussions built into them if they’re broken, right? And that Denmark is waiting for us to incur those repercussions (like sanctions), rather than them?

If they’re potentially fighting an invasion, why would they want to trigger additional hardships for themselves by breaking the treaty?

You really haven’t thought about any of this, holy shit.

…so you don’t understand treaties, or international relations, or anything like that?

You don’t see why Denmark preemptively violating the NATO charter weakens their position on the international stage considerably?

Also, I’m in the US. Like I indicated in the previous comment.

You absolute idiot.

Nobody’s going to swoop in and do it for us. If we want them to stop, we have to make them stop.

And preemptively break their NATO treaty obligations? The Danes aren’t shady backstabbers like us Americans, they’re going to let us break the treaty first.

You know, basically act like our allies. Which they are, until we break the relationship.

Danish troops are instructed to fire on invading US forces without asking for orders first.

Somehow, I think they’re taking him seriously.

Goebbels-lite needs a short drop and a sudden stop.

If it was about drugs, Orange Hitler wouldn’t have pardoned Balsonaro. It’s about oil and enriching his corporate money fountain.

Sounds an awful lot like we need to act before they do.

The tree of liberty, and all that.

By comparison, the cost to eradicate world hunger by 2030 would be $93 billion a year, and I can guarantee not a penny of those trillions will EVER help a poor person.

And?

Please point me to a single comment I’ve made on any post in the last 24 hours that indicates, in any way, that I don’t consider the arbitrary abduction of the head of a foreign government to be a serious breach of international law.

You cannot.

What I won’t let slide without argument are false equivalencies, half-truths, or misrepresentations of law.

When horrible shit happens is the time for more accuracy and specificity, not less.

Maybe they should.

He should have died of a massive coronary during The Apprentice tapings.

This is America’s 1938 moment. The nations of the world need to push back hard.

If this were about drugs (or they even cared that we believe it’s about drugs) he wouldn’t have pardoned Balsonaro.

Someone needs to catch Trump and give him la chancla.

Oh so sorry. I guess I’ll just sit quietly in front of my propaganda box and not try to leave the fascist hellscape my country has turned into.

All political movements start with local activism. If I want New England to be free, it starts with me at the town level.

Have fun doing nothing. I’m sure that engenders a real feeling of hope deep down in your jibblies.

Again, Noriega surrendered after 2 weeks, he wasn’t kidnapped the same night as the invasion started.
