Benghazi...oh you knew it was coming

Again Miles, provide the legally binding document that spells out the criteria of when a military operations are legal/illegal and what legal court rules on such matters. Something can't have a legal basis w/o a spelled out law and body that rules on such matters. Even things like the Geneva Convention accords are not internationally binding b/c not all countries signed all of them. I'll say again since you can't help but make this about your ignorant bigotry towards America. I don't hold the concept of war and legality only true for the US. I'm not sure how where I went to college has any bearing on this topic. It is part of my job to have a thorough understanding of the Law of Landwarfare. Particularly to keep myself and my subordinates out of prison. Needless to say I think I have a much better understanding of these issues than you. But hey bro if it makes you feel like you are sticking it to the bid bad US by using made up phrases like "illegal war" you right ahead. The educated and informed folk will continue to laugh at you.

Nobody laughs, you silly servant of a corrupt global super power.

A war of aggression, as defined by Nuremburg is illegal. You are NOT an expert, others are and you have a serious agenda. You are tool within a superpower, and want to pay for your life. Your moral concerns are irrelevant. You want to pay for your children to do well and protecting your interests is a primary concern. You are not an expert on anything, you are an agent of a superpower.

Nobody is laughing at me as I have no vested interest. I don't work for the military, I don't pretend to justify invasions of nations, or kill others to secure the welfare of my children. You do and that is why you are not to be trusted. You are the problem. You will NEVER admit that your nation is sick and is the problem and makes all of this happen.

People like Finklestein and Chomsky are Jews working in the system and telling truth, but you are not on that level and so I laugh at you with your military background, delusion, and pretence at being a lawyer. Dershowitz is a lawyer and if you are like that then you clearly went to Harvard, but no you didn't, and you not an expert in anything whence the way you think. Real thinkers laugh at people like you. People that joined the military in the first place. You couldn't do anything else.

Oh we are back to me just being a dumb sheep of a Soldier that couldn't do anything else are we? When in doubt Ad Hominem right? I don't have any agenda here. I don't really care what you and others think about the US and of course my children are my primary concern. What a silly statement to make.

Nuremberg gets you close but really is just more of a declarative statement about aggression and lets face it was very much a winners getting to write history moment. Article 39 of the UN Charter provides that the UN Security Council shall determine the existence of any act of aggression and "shall make recommendations, or decide what measures shall be taken in accordance with Articles 41 and 42, to maintain or restore international peace and security". But again that isn't a definition of legal vs illegal only stating that the UN can vote on an act and how to bring peace back. I think even you can agree that if the US gets a vote then the whole concept of legality is a sham.

What you are really looking for is the Rome Statutes that actually have an international criminal court that rules on aggression with codified law but it only has jurisdiciton over state parties and the US is not one.

See Miles I wasn't just being obtuse there was an actual answer to the question you just didn't know it. Thankfully despite being a full blown retard that should be lucky there is a military to employ me I somehow figured it out. Must have been that lousy American education I got.
