Trump in his foolishness has invited reciprocity and has even granted those who do the killing a certain immunity if they are claiming that they are doing it to stop something worse, i.e. Assassinating a foreign leader as a new United States government policy has to be an impeachable offense.

Or Maybe Not And it will also end American involvement in neighboring Syria, which will be unsustainable without a presence in Iraq. Ph.D., Executive Director of the Council for the National Interest. Under international law there are situations in which a head of state or head of government can use military force defensively or even preemptively if there is a substantial threat that is imminent. And it will also end American involvement in neighboring Syria, which will be unsustainable without a presence in Iraq. Assassinations may be prompted by religious, ideological, political, or military reasons, but the end result is targeted killing of a public figure, whom we know well or we love. The Nuremberg Tribunals ruled that starting a war of aggression is the ultimate crime.Such chest beating moments of pretend strong leadership coming from president bone spurs as well as similar justifications for an assassination that will be surfacing over the next few days simply do not pass the smell test. Assassinating a foreign leader as a new United States government policy has to be an impeachable offense. In the end, the operation was called off because Despite such reticence, Mary Ellen O’Connell, a professor of international law at the University of Notre Dame, draws a direct line between earlier US administrations and the convention-shredding unpredictability of Trump. By all means let’s impeach Trump based on what he has actually done, not on speculation over what he might have connived at.Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has repeatedly justified the U.S. “extreme pressure” directed against Tehran, demanding that Islamic Republic take steps to become a “normal country.” The real question should be, “When will the United States of America become normal?”Once upon a time there was a Constitution of the United States.

Under international law there are situations in which a head of state or head of government can use military force defensively or even preemptively if there is a substantial threat that is imminent.
Turmoil at Home, Turmoil Abroad: Israel and the U.S. Escalate Their War Against Iran Judgement Day for Ghislaine Maxwell Finally Arrives. Trump in his foolishness has invited reciprocity and has even granted those who do the killing a certain immunity if they are claiming that they are doing it to stop something worse, i.e. It all started when George W. Bush warned that “you’re either with us or against us.” Barack Obama subsequently labored over his Tuesday morning kill lists, which included American citizens, and the Trump White House has now expanded that license, asserting that it can act with complete impunity and out in the open to kill anyone at any time anywhere without due process or any actual demonstrated cause or accountability.Donald Trump should be aware that there is considerable downside to the tiger than he has let out of its cage. Sic. Suleimani himself is a case in point.In 2008, the CIA worked hand in glove with the Israeli intelligence service the Mossad to target Imad Mughniyah, a senior Hezbollah leader, for assassination. The assassination was not in reality based on any imminent threat and is therefore illegal under international law and is undeniably an unconstitutional act of war directed against both Iran and Iraq.What is particularly bizarre about Trump-think on this issue is that the assassination was carried out right in the open in a country with which the United States has had of late a friendly relationship and which allows American soldiers to be based on its soil.
