These are indiscriminate state sponsored murders/acts of state terrorism and should be treated as such.

The US vice-president, JD Vance, has previously pushed back against claims the attacks amounted to a war crime, saying: “I don’t give a shit what you call it.”

Unlike you, Vance you slimey loser, the rest of the world does care and there will be consequences.

International law does not apply to the most powerful warlords.

Yeah, EU will be sending a strongly worded letter in the coming decade!

If watching news and the world around me taught me anything, it's that no one really gives a shit about anything, not on the grand scale. The rest of the world will simply say what's expected of them to say and the US will continue doing what it's doing, just like Russia, just like Israel.

No it's not. This is the point of laws.

It's a form of social cohesion based around punishing the weak and reducing natural consequences for the strong.
