Europe, Boring Until it's Not

[Speaker to Animals]

There aren't any laws against going abroad and fighting wars. You can only be prosecuted for acts you can be proven to have committed. We had some
Swedish ISIS fighters sentenced after they were found with movies on their phones showing them committing war crimes. I don't think anyone will make that mistake again. I believe some have been sentenced on witness given by refugees. Not sure about ISIS here but it happened after the civil war in Yugoslavia and the genocide in Rwanda. Perpetrators mixing in with refugees.
We are not at war with ISIS so I don't know how they could be enemy combatants. The funding of terrorist organizations is illegal so that is a path. I want to indict the minister you brought up for that since funds she arranged for Muslim organizations has been used to fund ISIS fighters going to Syria.
It's a tricky subject.
What about the Swedish Kurds and others going down there to fight against ISIS, Turkey, and Assad at the same time. Should that be allowed?

It's not a civil matter. Islamic State is our enemy. These people are technically unlawful enemy combatants, not mere criminals for your civil courts. They are supposed to be tried by military tribunal, not by some liberal court so that they walk free and live off welfare.

When was the last time that the United States declared war?

Just a question. I’m curious if you can tell me.

Then your laws suck.

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

Because Congress are fucking pussies and the last constitutional convention was a fucking fraud.

Which has fuck all to do with the fact that these people are unlawful enemy combatants. Indeed, what civil law even fucking applied here? They belong in military tribunals, not criminal court, and they sure as shit should not be "integrated" and living off a fucking pension.

A declaration of war has nothing to do with whether or not a state of war exists. It's a procedural step that was relevant before the CIC had a preexisting authorization of force that negates the need for a war declaration after the fact.

You'd think your dumb ass would stop thinking you have any business talking military matters after all the times it's been shown that you don't know a fucking thing about any of it.

So then we’ve just dropped that portion of the Constitution for good?

Does the CIC having authorization to use force mean that any target of force is considered a war target?

If so, then are we not at war with the entire globe, depending on the whims of the CIC?

Is there any reason to apply civilian law to anything?
