I don't understand how people can follow a command like this and then go home and sleep at night.

Aka, more war crimes committed by the regime in charge of the USA.

We didn't get 9/11ed enough. We deserve way more.

Humanitarian law is also designed to protect civilian objects, including those indispensable to the survival of the civilian population. Article 29 of the Convention on the law relating to the non-navigational uses of international watercourses [available on http://www.un.org/], adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 1997, stipulates:

“International watercourses and related installations, facilities and other works shall enjoy the protection accorded by the principles and rules of international law applicable in international and non-international armed conflict and shall not be used in violation of those principles and rules”.

General protection under the law applicable to armed conflicts extends to more than international watercourses, and the four main prohibitions laid down in that law are worth noting:

the ban on employing poison or poisonous weapons; the ban on destroying, confiscating or expropriating enemy property; the ban on destroying objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population; the ban on attacking works or installations containing dangerous forces.

The four prohibitions, to which should be added the provisions on environmental protection, are expressly mentioned in the instruments relating to international armed conflicts, and the last two are also laid down in the law applicable to non-international armed conflicts. Starvation as a method of warfare is explicitly prohibited regardless of the nature of the conflict, and the concept of objects essential for the survival of the civilian population includes drinking-water installations and supplies and irrigation works. Immunity for indispensable objects is waived only when these are used solely for the armed forces or in direct support of military action. Even then, the adversaries must refrain from any action which could reduce the population to starvation or deprive it of essential water.

Really pushing for that Greatest Satan moniker.

Where is the UN ?

I love America. Every time I see them helping kill someone I get a boner!!!! /s

If you count all the war crimes committed by US soldiers, regardless of who was president, you will come to the conclusion that the US is an imperial, colonial, exploitative power.

Previously, they hid behind diplomacy, the UN, "freedom", "democracy". Donald Trump has portrayed the US as it has been all these years after the Second World War, selfish, greedy, without a shred of empathy.

That is why some Americans cannot stand Trump because he exposes them for what they are.

Hey this happened in Spec Ops the Line

Meanwhile, the rest of the world thinks that it's okay to remain entirely silent when the US breaches the Geneva Convention.

To prepare mentally for if and when Iranians target US civilian infrastructure, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDhuDBjZIkg

imperialism <---> terrorism

"Hey! You possibly shot down a military helicopter from us while it was performing illegal operations within your territory! That goes too far, fuck the Geneva convention, you will pay!"
