Question for Karolyn re: Venezuela, Greenland, and Canada

“Karolyn, the President has made comments about annexing Greenland and Canada, and is currently targeting Venezuela for war. Wars of aggression are universally regarded as war crimes, and in the Nuremberg Principles they are considered the supreme war crime. Is the President at all concerned that we hanged Nazis at Nuremberg for this exact crime?”

From the Nuremberg Tribunal Judgement:

Reading the Tribunal's final judgment in court, British alternate judge Norman Birkett said:

“The charges in the Indictment that the defendants planned and waged aggressive wars are charges of the utmost gravity. War is essentially an evil thing. Its consequences are not confined to the belligerent states alone, but affect the whole world. To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.”
