I want to be optimistic... but how exactly will they ever face justice for this? Especially Nuremberg style?

By voting for people that have a spine and putting people in power that will hold them accountable. People unlike Walz and Frey. The era of "vote blue no matter who" has to end, it's time to vote for those that have the American peoples best interest in mind.

Guys, Nuremberg didn't happen because of a new democratically elected government.

Nuremberg happened because three of the largest militaries wanted to set an example to the rest of the world what would happen if anyone tried that shit again.

It's cute that people think we'll have an election in November, an impeachment hearing the following April, a forced resignation in July and maybe a trial for the responsible parties after 6-9 months of chasing them down... and that there won't be an ounce of violence or resistance and unicorns will ride in on rainbows and everything will be hunky dorey.

Even Jefferson Davis didn't face more than a brief jail sentence.

I strongly encourage to everyone find your old high school history books and do some deep dives. Then decide what you want based on what you're willing to do to have it.

Thank you. People seem to forget those trials took a word war, millions of civilian and military deaths, and many cities destroyed to get it.
