While a simplistic “get rid of the war criminals at the top” would be a nice solution, the reality of the problem is far scarier and more distributed than that.
America has been kneeling on the neck of countless other nations, which also lost their breath, for decades.
A nation which callously disregards these crimes, will eventually fall victim to the same mechanics, itself.
America is ruled by a death cult which believes only in its own superiority over all other nations on Earth. Until this changes, the American people are as safe as anyone else this very real death cult puts in its sights, which is to say: not safe at all.
This also doesn’t jive with the commonly held idea of armed forces members having higher standards for ROE and better training than LEOs, and introduces a pretty murky version of “war criminal”, as opposed to the usual Kissinger’s and Bush’s.
American LE and American military are intertwined, and the policies which are derived in one arena and moved to another have been for decades a mainstay of the means by which America's military industrial pharmaceutical complex maintains an iron grip on the nations martial resources.
Until the American people avail themselves of the truth regarding their leaders involvement in committing crimes against humanity with impunity, the American people will themselves be subject to the very same criminals' policies.
What happened to Mosul can happen to Baltimore. The very same mechanics of discrimination and hatred are at play.
Another obvious death cult is the Skull and Bones society. These people have sayings like "might makes right" and "always ahead of the pack". They are like Hydra from the Marvel movies - their members have infiltrated every place of power and they use their positions to pull off things like 9/11. A number of US Presidents and presidential candidates have also been members of this group.
