Does need. May get.

The criminals in the Epstein case may need prosecution.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

As I understand it, there was only one criminal. His name was Jeffery Epstein. We got him. He's gone now. Stop talking about it.

[-] MithranArkanere@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

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

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.

they have to lose the war

Germany didn't de-Nazify after they lost the war. German Nazis continued to hold ranking positions in both East and West Germany and in their imperial industrial sectors (CIA and Stasi were both stuffed with former Nazis). One of the kinder things you could say about the Soviets was that they stuck Nazi captives in low-ranking grunt work positions and ran them to death. Similarly, the US turned a lot of ex-Nazis into Expendables style special forces and deep cover insurgent forces in missions that ended disastrously.

But we had Adolf Heusinger running NATO. We had ex-SS officers all over the East German Police. Werner Von Braun was running NASA. Klaus Barbie, Alois Brunner, Josef Mengele all successfully exfilitrated to South America and the Middle East, thanks to Allen Dulles's ratlines and the fascists in the 1940s Catholic Church. Postwar West Germany, in particular, was littered with mid-level ex-fascists and latter-day turncoats.

Nevermind the foreign sponsors of German Nazis - the Bush Family, the Ford Family, IBM's Watson Family, the Carnegies, the Morgans, the Duke of fucking Windsor. They all got richer for their trouble, even before guys like Eisenhower and Churchill vacuumed them all up into their orbit.

Nuremberg was show trials for a handful of surviving high profile belligerents. A Limited Hangout, as Nixon would eventually describe it. Fascism never died. It simply got rebranded under the Cold War.

trump is affecting the globe with his unhinged behaviour so if there truly is an international court, and global law is a thing, then yes, retributon should be swift.

Need to get him before he croaks.

[-] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 2 points 22 hours ago

Oh I agree, but let's not be too hasty at the final stage. I believe the orange cum rag has more than earned a slow and painful demise.

[-] BeardededSquidward 3 points 20 hours ago

He represents everything about the worst aspects of the USA and I'd love to see those end along with him.

[-] dumnezero@piefed.social 30 points 1 day ago

The US definitely needs denazification.

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

lol the lack of balls on some people

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

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.

[-] prole 7 points 1 day ago

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

[-] BioDriver@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Well, we need more Justice Dems like her, Illhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Pramila Jayapaul, Cori Bush, and Bernie Sanders

Brother I would vote for you in a general election on literally just this platform alone

I feel as though half of MAGA would regret their vote if someone filmed and handed trump an unchambered weapon and asked him to crack off a round down a range.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 57 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] BattleGrown@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

I'm totally convinced that most people are selfish and lazy pieces of shit with no morals, so I won't hold my breath. What's holding these idiots back in the past was an accessibility issue, which is now lifted. They are actually the majority. I'm preparing to be ruled by absolute dogshit morons who may at any moment become pedophilic mass murderers.

[-] TeraByteMarx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 day ago

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 1 day ago

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.

[-] Gathorall@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Well there was a minor oversight where most got away scot-free anyway, and if you didn't lose you weren't accused.

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.

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

what I hear you saying is that the USA has the opportunity to do the best Nuremberg trials in history, better than anyone's ever heard of before

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 day ago

It's a start

[-] Sunflier@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You're suggesting we just ignore everything, pretend everything is fine, and just move on?

I'm sure if I ignore it, the cancer I was just diagnosed with will go away!

-Literally no cancer patient ever

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

[-] ltxrtquq@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

I don't think there are a lot of military members in the Epstein files, so I think they'd use different court systems.

[-] MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Oh, okay. Got it.

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 1 points 21 hours ago

is that the USA calling dibs to investigate itself ?

[-] BigMacHole@thelemmy.club 1 points 21 hours ago

But that would be POLITICAL and we DONT want to Do that!

-Democrats!

[-] switcheroo@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

Yes. Fucking do it and dissolve Israel while they're at it.

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 1 day 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.
