George Takei :verified: 🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽
@georgetakei@universeodon.com  ·  activity timestamp yesterday

This is absurd. If another country hit our top civilian and military leaders and wiped them out, then bombed 1,000 targets and threatened five more weeks of bombings, we'd say it was war. Get real or get out of here with this.

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting a CNN exchange. The text includes Blitzer asking about U.S. military losses if the war drags on, and Mullin responding that it is not a war and that the U.S. has not declared war on Iran. Below is a CNN split-screen showing Wolf Blitzer on the left and Senator Markwayne Mullin on the right, with a “BREAKING NEWS” banner reading: “W: TRUMP SAYS NEW IRANIAN LEADERS ‘WANT TO TALK.’”

@georgetakei an undeclared war. I think that also impinges on international law. IANAL but I think some of the Geneva clauses relate to armed forces in uniform in a declared war, prescribing protections for those captured.
Perhaps the Administration is not concerned with s7ch protections.

@georgetakei You know as well as I do that if you call it a "war" that there are globally accepted rules of war, and the current view by some countries is that as long as you don't call it a war, your opponent's forces don't get the rights they'd get under a war. No war crimes, no prisoners of war, no Geneva convention.

Not saying it makes sense, or that it's actually going to hold. But it matches what they do.

@georgetakei The regime to remove should obviously have been the orcs and four years ago, preferably ten. This war happened to start extremely conveniently when there seemed to be some movement on the Epstein files. Now everyone has forgotten about those and nothing will happen about them ever again. What a sad country.

Of course it's not a 'War'...

It's simply the use of WMD - Weapons of Mass Distraction...

@georgetakei Goes well with #PeteHegseth saying, "We didn't start this war . . . " 🙄
And this administration can't even keep the terms in their lies straight.

Hiti

हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
