When a Super Power, the US, goes Rogue, is it time for Global Sanction on the United States?

 Sanctions were meant to act at deterrence but it has been used by the US more than any other country to maintain its stronghold on nations and assert its right to impunity and ensure the international community understands the US is above the law, this has been subtle till President Trump took office this term.

Under President Trump, the only international relations that US has practiced is to assert it is a Rogue State and US President is asserting his right to be Rogue with legal liability. If the international community had called his bluff, when he first invaded Iran and dropped bombs on Nuclear facility in Iran with the claim that presence of enriched Uranium 65 Percent meant Iran is making nuclear war heads. No one bother to call out the blatant lie, the plan to use logical fallacy to control international narrative, for if Iran really wanted to have nuclear warhead, it could have just done what India, Pakistan, or North Korea did, which is to enrich uranium in silence and let the world know upon successful testing. Instead of appreciating the transparency offered, all that unethical and hegemonic country the US and its mentor or follower Israel could do was to ensure use of every means  to punish Iran with Sanctions and state that is as deterrence for an action not committed.

The world was silent, as US invaded the country through sanction for a crime not yet committed by Iran. Basically, US carried out war crime and no one held it accountable. It is strange to see how moralistic the US President Trump can be, when he has proved over and over again he can carry out mass murder (killing of fishermen or people on small boats on international waters, for even in US when more than three persons are killed at the same time in same instance, it is mass murder), not just once but many time and the total number of people killed is around 75. Yet, international community were silent?

What message does it send to resistance or terror groups, that the current US President can be their greatest role model though he keeps stating like a broken record player that he will destroy terrorists with no mercy.  He is the greatest model for terrorist, for he is doing everything a terrorist can only dream of, he can sit in his oval office and he has people to carry out his command better than any machine. His staff ensures “double strike” is a default measure and not an outlier. As President Trump as he sits in his Oval office can watch live the fruits of his terror acts and no one even reprimands him. A few protests from democrats are silenced by Republican who are more bothered about the chair they sit on than any so-called American values.

Look at the luxury of the US President who has gone Rogue, as he carried out threats on international water, he used his powers to commit war crimes in Venezuela for which he ensures the Venezuelan government is in sufficient chaos through cyber war crimes and thereby the US forces are able to disempower the Venezuelan military and limit its capacity to protect Venezuelan leaders. Then the US President kidnaps the Venezuelan leader and his wife in the middle of the night as they asleep and takes them the US to face alleged drug charges for which there is nothing beyond allegation based on US agents sting operation against the nephew of President Nicolas Maduro.

The US Congress smitten by fact that the US President can use muscle power in the Western hemisphere, ignored their duty and right under law to hold their President accountable. There is no provision to carry out a kidnapping of a leader in another state, the statement that US President does not consider President Madura to be legitimate leader only indicates the fact the US President suffers from delusion and his cognitive ability is highly questionable. It is time the globe pointed out to US Congress and SCOTUS that their inaction is making the world at risk for war crimes and terror acts by an unhinged American President.

Because US Congress, SCOTUS and world were silent, the US President not only bombed nuclear facility of Iran, again. It also carried out mass slaughter of school children in Minab, Iran. The US government is yet to hold their President accountable, when media questioned President Trump about it, he did not have the human decency to indicate that it is a terrible tragic event, the leader of so-called great Democracy the US, President Trump instead said that Iran bombed its own children and that Iran was very bad at hitting its target.

Evidently the United States President and the country US have gone rogue. According available literature, a Nation can be said to have gone Rogue, when:

1.      The Nation that deliberately or illegitimately harm their neighbours;

     2.      The Nation deliberately and consistently flaunt international laws, convention, and norms; 

3.      When the Nation persists in acting unilaterally, without the support of community of nations; it can be called a Rogue State [1]. It is evident that many of the crimes committed by the US President was not with approval of the US Congress, but as US Congress refuses to hold their President accountable, it means not just the US President but the country US has gone Rogue.

It’s time the US realised, their country is no longer a democracy and not even a country that evokes any respect in the eyes of most people outside the US. It is time the US Congress and SCOTUS realised and accepted that their President has gone Rogue and in the silence of other governance structure has ensured a process whereby the US President uses his position of power and the unchecked scale of influence of Presidential Executive Order to carry out war crimes and terror act on other nations and in the process ensuring the US, the nation, has also gone Rogue.

It is time to Sanction the United States before it creates further global harm through its Rogue acts.

Hold the US President, the US Congress and SCOTUS accountable for breaking domestic and international law. Otherwise stop using the term terror with regard to actions carried out by other groups.

Rights for all or for none.

Justice for all!

Living in the Margins

 Molly Charles (1) Margin, a term familiar from tender age; notebooks with clear cut margins to delineate the main body of text, define it. The margins give it definite shape, a practice that continues into the virtual world. Among humans, it is these margins that give identity to the large majority we term normal. The often, porous boundaries offer a chance for individuals to slip through and slip back into either ‘normal’ or ‘marginal’ spaces. The decision to identify with marginal groups or positions can be a conscious one as with (gender identity, drug use), enforced as in (mental health, racial and caste based discrimination) and accidental for (drug use, stigmatized diseases). In certain instances, as with mental health, some individuals may find their being part of marginal groups a permanent reality, in most other instances individuals do move in and out of marginal groups, as a survival strategy to deal with marginalization. Even when physical spaces merge, with an emph...
