Q: Alright. Um. Ok. Like, no thought on it?

MARSHALL: I haven't researched it

Seriously? A brilliant man apparently chooses to commit a war crime or murder ppl? Why the pity? Don't those people's lives matter?

So, different JAG lawyers depending on it it's a war crime or just garden variety murder? This is one you can't hang on Biden.

When Fascist Italy's occupation of Ethiopia was eventually accepted by the League of Nations in 1936, Alfred Nemours (Haiti) reprimanded the world: “great or small, strong or weak, near or far, white or coloured, let us never forget that one day we may be somebody’s Ethiopia.” #UkrainePeaceTalks
