Hi!
My previous/alt account is yetAnotherUser@feddit.de which will be abandoned soon.
Large collateral damage is a percentage.
An attack that targets and harms mostly combatants with little collateral damage is not indiscriminate. I’m curious what the ratio of combatants to noncombatants is before arguing whether this attack was a war crime.
Like the previous N times? 😴
Everyone is so afraid
The anti-Trump, let’s hope these two won’t collide
Yeah, that does make Churchill a genocidal British imperialist but not an autocrat.
Not that that’s any better - but the original comment claimed not holding elections in tines of war => autocracy.
I don’t really know about other democratic nations in WW2 that suspended elections - like 3/4 of Europe had their governments dissolved and couldn’t quite hold elections.
Pearl Harbor is not a city, is it?
I’ve checked nearly every single link from Wikipedia in that list, there were a handful of attacks on American villages. Not a single city was ever attacked (except for maybe Washigton by the Brits) - or rather seriously attacked.
I don’t really take
Casualties:
seriously, considering that attacks on cities usually end horribly for civilians.
Fair enough
But during WW2 Britain didn’t hold elections. Did this turn Britain into an autocracy?
And by the way, you literally can’t hold elections if the aggressor is certain to attack polling stations. The US never had this threat, neither during the Civil War nor during WW2. Not a single US city was ever attacked by an enemy nation.
Ships should suffice with a 100 kB/s connection which already existed before Starlink. You don’t usually need to send tons of data.
Additionally, Starlink is currently only offered to a single island nation without submarine fibre-optic cable, the Easter Islands. Although they may get submarine fibre somewhere after 2026 anyways because that is when a new cable will be laid closeby.
When do you need faster ocean communication, besides luxury? Nobody is owned fast internet on an environment-destroying luxury cruiseship.
Oh you mean server-side encryption? I’m fairly certain that Telegram is already handing out these keys anyway, since every country has laws regarding that. Server-side encryption is worth jack shit
What decryption keys even, group chats cannot be encrypted and private chats are unencrypted by default and even encrypted chats shouldn’t have the encryption key stored on any servers unless there is a backdoor.
Hell yeah, time for Germany to conquer all territories that were a member of the Holy Roman Empire of Germanic Nations.
Because that’s apparently how it works. Own it once, own it forever.
Throwing the book at her would not make it past appeals because it would be excessive punishment and violate numerous laws about sentencing length.
Here is how the constitutional court described what factors into the severity of a punishment (1977):
Compensation for guilt, prevention, resocialization of the offender, atonement and retribution for wrongs committed are described as aspects of an appropriate penal sanction.
But there is no compensation, no prevention and no resocialization which could increase the severity of the punishment. Will she ever be at risk of assisting in the murder of 10,000 people again? Absolutely not.
By the way, 2 years of probation is the longest probation possible by law. Any longer and she would have to go to prison - which would be thrown out in appeals.
Eh, hoping that 18 year old Hannah will be found, she probably hasn’t done anything yet.
She had certainly enough agency to refuse to work at a concentration camp. It’s not like those were the only jobs available for women at that time.
Also, not prosecuting her would likely be illegal since state prosecutors cannot decide to simply ignore crimes they don’t feel like prosecuting:
§ Section 258a Obstructing prosecution in office
(1) If, in the cases referred to in section 258(1), the offender is appointed as a public official to cooperate in the criminal proceedings or in the proceedings ordering the measure […] the penalty shall be a custodial sentence of six months to five years, or in less serious cases a custodial sentence of up to three years or a monetary penalty.
§ Section 258 Obstruction of justice
(1) Any person who intentionally or knowingly prevents, in whole or in part, another person from being punished or subjected to a measure […] in accordance with the Criminal Code for an unlawful act shall be liable to a custodial sentence not exceeding five years or to a monetary penalty.

And it’s Russia’s fault that the US did dozens of coups in South America. That’s the US’s front lawn!
How and whether preschool exists differs from country to country.
For example, here in Germany you go straight from kindergarten to primary school.
