Iran issues arrest warrant for Donald Trump

[Still Waters]

Iran has issued an arrest warrant and asked Interpol for help in detaining President Donald Trump and dozens of others it believes carried out the drone strike that killed a top Iranian general in Baghdad, a local prosecutor reportedly said Monday.

While Trump faces no danger of arrest, the charges underscore the heightened tensions between Iran and the United States since Trump unilaterally withdrew America from Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers.

Tehran prosecutor Ali Alqasimehr said Trump and more than 30 others whom Iran accuses of involvement in the Jan. 3 strike that killed Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad face “murder and terrorism charges," the state-run IRNA news agency reported.

Alqasimehr did not identify anyone else sought other than Trump, but stressed that Iran would continue to pursue his prosecution even after his presidency ends.

Interpol, based in Lyon, France, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

International Law says that a state can take military action against an individual to prevent a real and imminent threat. The problem for the US is it killed the Iranian general to prevent future attacks, not an imminent one. A further problem is if the extra-judicial killing was legal under Iraqi Law as it occurred on their territory.

At worst Trump and the others will have to watch where they go internationally but bearing in mind the number of NATO troops which have lost legs or their lives due to IED attacks orchestrated by the Iranian general I cannot see a western country deporting him for trial at the Hague or in Iran and Iraq. As far as I`m concerned good riddance. 

Leaders have to make tough decisions, sometimes actions they need to take slip through existing international laws, and a strong leader puts the lives of his military personnel first. They pop off the Iranian general, they pop off Bin laden, they pop off the leaders of ISIS, not because they are in the process of killing someone but because their policies will result in future deaths.

International laws says that, does it?  Have a source?  Sounds like something Al Qaeda would say.

Push on the pic, and hold. A box will open. Click on google search this image, and Bob's your uncle.

I didn't know either. Two clicks, and I was elucidated.

Man how messed up would it be if our burgeoning authoritarian problem was solved by /Iran/ of all places?

"Well he's in jail, locked up in the Hague, just our way of saying no hard feelings for that time you put the Shah in charge."

It will be interesting to see if that’s what plays out.

In other news, the lion also goes away if you stick your head in the sand. 

Or you can always close your eyes, stick your fingers in your ears and shout 'its not real'.

I don't recall the last time a foreign country issued an arrest warrant for an U.S. president. Interesting times.

Well, the US do keep pretending they want Iran to play by the rules.

Seems Iran has called their bluff

It would for me, I'll be fine no matter what he does. 

Now my LGBT, hispanic, black, and basically anybody who isn't a white male, friends? Yeah, not so much for them. The thing Trump Supporters don't seem to understand is that just because his insanity doesn't hit you, it DOES assuredly hit other people.

Lets see, hate crimes on the rise and encouraged by his administration, his justices ripping separation of church and state apart, Pence being anywhere near the reins of powers, breaking up families just to terrify mexicans, stating that anybody who beats up protesters will get him paying their legal fees, and Trump essentially getting into fights with black people since he said his first word, which was presumably "Coon" and not the sort in my profile pic. 

Oh and that time he teargassed folks for a photo op. 

The point is, he's done a lot of horrible **** and hinted and 'joked' about doing even more. My friends have been horrified of just how far this alt-right authoritarian bull**** is going to go. And here's a little hint, my great grandparents fled Germany when they went fascist and never came back. I've recently made sure my passport is valid for land entry into Canada, because a lot of their old stories sound awfully familiar these days.
