Isn't sucker punching a sovereign nation after saying you were going to negotiate for two weeks kind of a war crime? [View all]
I know it's maybe not the biggest problem and pardon me if I've missed anything after enjoying a lovely day of not checking the news to come back to this but...
1. did we bother declaring war before we attacked a sovereign nation?
2. didn't Trump say we were hitting pause for two weeks to try diplomacy with Iran? Is that in legal terms similar to a truce or ceasefire (if we had been at war with them in the first place)?
3. isn't bombing your enemy in the middle of a truce/ceasefire which you were using as cover for your preparations kind of illegal/a war crime?
I'm certainly not a lawyer but hoping someone can enlighten me. And I know all the MAGAs are going to rationalise it away as God-tier dimensional chess but didn't he really just lie about entering into negotiations in good faith and then sucker punch a country we weren't even at war with yet?
What am I missing here?
