Tru, dat.
If you see a tyrant rising, though, you have a moral responsibility to push back (unless you are too effing stupid to sense the danger, as 30 % of the American voters are).
Hopefully, traitor Bush will be next for his crimes at Abu Ghraib and for launching an invasion over imaginary WMD.
He should stand in the pocket along with Rummy and Wolfie and Cheney and Crystal and the rest if the Hitler Youth.
True more should face the music, the world is fully aware of the cruel dragged out genocide occuring in yemen yet u.s continues to $upply saudis the weapons to keep on killing. Fields of corpses n' kids dieing of starvation simply collateral damage in the world of arms sales, saudis have freinds.... malidic not any that count.
Indeed. There is a list of them now.....
The USA better stay on their toes as it can creep up around them;........and become reality before folks realize what happened. The misinformation machine of the white house is very concerning......as when folks don't know what to beleive or believe the lies....... a collective mindset can evolve rather easily.
One cautionary stance would be NEVER become blinded by ones own support of someone.( leaders ).......as then objectivity is lost. We see that happening already. The issue is enhanced with the leader is mentally unstable. eg
One can excuse his twitter conduct only for so long before one sees that pathology of the man. It is right there in front for all to see........but some CHOOSE not too OR NO LONGER ARE ABLE TO.All Tyrants are mentally disturbed......eg" Hitler suffered from serious Mood disorder (formerly known as manic depressive disorder) He as well as other s was and are delusional......about their power and what they can do or how great they are. They have a sadistic streak to them.........(and this includes Trump........as is evidenced in his tweets and verbal behavior. ) They cannot handle criticism. They over react and shoot from the hip....... with negative consequences They demand to be appreciated /respected to the point of being "worshiped"

When I heard this today I was really surprised.
I thought this had happened years ago.........
He was arrested in 2011. Still took them 6 years.
Lots of twisting and spinning from the Kangaroo Court.

Memories of the cruel Balkan Wars of 1992-1995 are already slipping away. But the sentence to life in prison for Serb general Ratko Mladic by the United Nations War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague for crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing last week shows that justice occasionally prevails.
These crimes in the Balkans were of epic proportion, sadistic, and profoundly sickening, even to a hardened war correspondent like me.
Serbia’s banker-turned demagogue, Slobodan Milosevic, and Bosnian Serb leader, Radovan Karadzic, formulated a strategy to create an ethnically pure Greater Serbia, purged of Catholics and Muslims, that would recreate the glory of the medieval Serb kingdom. They rose to power on calls to ‘send the Turks (i.e. Muslims) back to Turkey.’ Ironically, Bosnia’s Muslims were mainly descendants of medieval Christian Bogomil heretics who had been savagely persecuted by Orthodox Christians and converted to Islam for protection.
Mladic led the Bosnian Serb army (along with units from Serbia’s Army) in a multi-year campaign to uproot, expel or kill the Catholic Croat and Muslim population of the ex-Yugoslav republic of Bosnia. The Serb Army then turned its murderous rage to the former Yugoslav region of Kosovo that was 95-98% ethnic Albanian. The world learned the term, ‘ethnic cleansing.’
As sadistic Serb paramilitary thugs and the Serb Army rampaged through Bosnia and Kosovo, the world largely averted its eyes, blaming the massacres, rapes, and looting on ‘centuries of hatreds.’ Not true. Modern-day power-thirsty demagogues and the Orthodox Church played the key role.
In truth, the orgy of killing and ethnic uprooting was even quietly welcomed by certain governments, like Greece, France (traditional ally of Serbia), Britain’s Conservatives, Russia, Hungary and Romania.
Britain and France managed to thwart, then delay, multi-national efforts to end the massacres while shedding crocodile tears and secretly aiding Serbia.
Equally contemptible was the reaction of the Muslim world, which averted its eyes while offering bromides and platitudes. The Saudis, self-styled ‘Defenders of Islam,’ were too busy in Europe’s casinos and brothels to care about tortured Bosnia. The Turks, with 600,000 soldiers, were too fearful of angering Europe to do anything. The only peoples to help the Balkan Muslims were some Afghan mujahidin and Iran, which supplied arms to the Bosnians with tacit CIA approval.
As a keynote speaker at a major Islamic Conference, I could not resist telling the delegates from around the globe: ‘if Jews were being persecuted in Bosnia they way Muslims are, I’m sure the Israeli defense forces would have landed and put Mladic and his Serbs in a cage.’ I was never again invited to speak at an Islamic conference.

I'm sure that Mossad would have invoked the death sentence.
That's some pretty smooth kool aid, the MSM has fed this guy well.
The truth, is somewhere else.
Afghan mujahidin and Iran
Oh you mean the Taliban and Hezbollah, along with the Islamic mullahs ?
You forgot the help that came from Albania.
What a nice bunch they are. And it wasn't just weapons, they sent fighters as well.
Fighters who are still there. And the weapons are now being used used in the more recent terror attacks in Europe.
For the rest, only crying about Serb war crimes, and not recognizing the other atrocities, is rather boring.
The West decided a long time ago that only Serbs commit crimes. Everyone else is a victim. Right.
