<p>Are you deliberately trying to misrepresent what I have said across multiple posts? The war crime was not the sinking of the ship.<p>That was a cowardly act (unarmed vessel), but not strictly a war crime.<p>The ACTUAL war crime was the immediate refusal to render any aid to the sunken sailors. How many times do I have to repeat that line? Shall I bold it for you? And the fact that the ship was ALONE and UNARMED removed any pretence that the US sub would have been in danger by doing so.<p>I repeatedly mention the Geneva Convention & the fact that the same principle is written into the official US naval doctrines (so its US law as well), and yet you're still barking up the wrong branch.<p>If you're going to refute my argument, then please refute my ACTUAL argument, and not the strawman version you've concocted.</p>

<p>I have explained why, multiple times. You just don't  want to accept it (fine, this will be determined at Nuremberg 2,0, not by you or me, here)<p>The sub knew it was clear of any Iranian guns, for over 100 miles in every direction, once it had sunk the only (unarmed) Iranian asset within 100 miles of it. Thats not the same as being within (or close to) Iranian territory.<p>Hence, the lack of threat, as per the established laws of naval warfare, neccesitate some attempt at helping survivors. The sub was in the immediate vicinity of the ship. Not 800 miles away firing a cruise missile.<p>To still maintain that, even in that situation, there's still some theoretical threat means that you're effectively trying to say that in NO conceivable situation do the established laws of naval warfare apply, in practical terms. For anyone, anywhere, ever.<p>In any case, this is all an academic exercise. In this world order, no laws - international, military, or common decency - apply to the US or its chosen allies.<p>Justice will have to be served the old fashioned way.</p>

<p>They didn't have to pick them up. They could have surfaced (remember, it was KNOWN that there was no threat) and tossed out a few inflatable life rafts.</p>

<p>Thats not why he wasn't convicted of THAT charge.<p>It was proven in court that even the Nazi German submarines made good faith efforts to rescue drowning sailors, and they only stopped when one u-boat was sunk (or damaged?) by a US plane while it was rescuing US sailors (after which, the German navy gave out orders forbiding the practice).<p>Everything I said in my previous 2 posts stands.</p>

<p>From my original post:<p>"AND REFUSED TO PICK UP ANY SURVIVORS"<p>In the absence of any threat (the ship was alone, and unarmed), then refusing to pick up survivors is ABSOLUTELY a TEXTBOOK war crime.<p>Under the Geneva Convention, and under the US's own legal code.<p>Thats not an opinion, thats a statement of fact.<p>Exactly this was one of the charges against Admiral Doenitz at Nuremberg.</p>

<p>Completely false.<p>That ship was involved in naval exercises at the invitation of the host navy, India.<p>That ship was unarmed. Nothing unusual there - that was the original plan for the joint navy drills. A large complement of the crew was A BRASS BAND!<p>The Indian's (and this has been formally confirmed since) communicated to the Americans that this was an UNARMED ship which was about to leave Indian territorial waters on its way home.<p>So the Americans KNEW where the ship was (they were told) and KNEW it was completely unarmed.<p>And they sunk it anyway, and refused to pick up any survivors.<p>Thats a crystal clear WAR CRIME. The kind which is writ large in western history books for 80 years, condemning the conduct of the Nazi Germany submarine units.</p>

<p>Hmm, interesting. HN has long been a site dominated by Zionists, and that was reflected in the type of commentary here. Your post, and the 3 others wh8ch responded to you, are clearly bemoaning the fact that even on this bastion of your world view, you're getting strong pushback.<p>I guess that's what years of widely publicized genocide, plus illegal wars of aggression (lost count by now - Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Lebanon again, etc, etc), gets you.<p>People are waking up, and some are not afraid to push back publicly. Even on your perceived "stomping grounds".<p>No wonder this doesn't compute for you, and you have to appeal to a higher authority.<p>Its a big world. And it's waking up. You can't censor everybody, everywhere, all of the time.</p>

<p>No, everything I said was true. The entire world knows who deliberately targets and murders children, by the tens of thousands. "Disinformation" is one of the Zionist colony's biggest exports, but its effect (like all drugs) has waned over time.<p>People who have unyoked from Zionist mental-control have dozens, if not 100s of independent journalistic outlets, mostly online, where they can (and ARE) following to get some sense of what's really happening. Hence your frustration.<p>Its not for nothing that "every accusation is a confession" is now a phrase which has spread across the globe, in relation to the Zionist entity and its hasbara. So, your "spreading disinformation on purpose" accusation is really your confession.</p>

<p>Its a mystery how "the terrorists" have launched 1000's of missiles & drones, in 70+ (and counting) waves, across 3 weeks, spanning across the region, and yet they have ABJECTLY FAILED to:<p>* hit any hospital<p>* blow up any school<p>* nor murder any journalists.<p>Yet, despite this stunning lack of accuracy from ... "the terrorists", they have somehow managed to hit EVERYTHING ELSE they were aiming at.<p>On the other hand, the "West", who are absolutely NOT terrorists, have managed to blow up schools, slaughter hundreds and hundreds of school children, smash multiple hospitals, take out as many health workers & first responders as possible with double tap strikes ...<p>and let's not even mention the number of journalists deliberately targeted & killed, nor the families of journalists, deliberately targeted & killed<p>And to answer the "but they killed 25 million of their own civilians just weeks ago", it would be almost churlish to point out that the MASSIVE pro-Iran public sentiments expressed by ALL sectors of Iranian society would, to a logically thinking person, lead one to conclude that perhaps, just perhaps, the media campaign behind those riots was just pushing a complete LIE. Because those reports don't fit in a reality where, under direct bombardment and personal risk, those same civilians are supporting their state, their government & their leadership.<p>As always, the simplest explanations which fit observable facts are usually closest to the actual truth. And the simplest explanation is that the "definitely NOT terroristic" West has been lying about Iran, consistantly, for decades.<p>Either that, or the Mango Mussolini is the new Oracle of Delphi.<p>Go pick the hill you want to stand on ...</p>
