Visa’s Vexing Vacillations
@visakanv
this seems like something a US official would say to a journalist not because they believe it's true, but it's because it's the message they want to pass on the history of the US, as far as I can tell, is of an empire that does not expect to ever be held responsible for its CAH

US officials tell me ALARM BELL RINGING among diplomats in DC that U.S. could one day be held responsible for Crimes Against Humanity for ethnic cleansing of Syrian Kurds by opening the door to it, watching it, encouraging it (Trump's tweets and statements) and not stopping it.

I mean, who's gonna do it? who's gonna take the US to court for crimes against humanity? who's going to make them pay the reparations? 😂 diplomats in DC and correspondents in NBC are all putting on a very dramatic theatrical performance here IMO
