Who will show Trump and Netanyahu that they're not above the law? It has to be Europe | Steve Crawshaw

China as well as Russia are against it unless it has changed.

It has to be American people and courts.

Russia is second best in Ukraine at the moment, so they fall into "everyone else". China, of course, is willing to disapprove, but there's not a snowball's chance in hell they do anything about it.

Stop passing the buck to everyone else! For a country with the words “right to keep and bear arms” and “necessary to the security of a free state” in your constitution, you all roll over to nazis awfully fucking quickly. But yeah, maybe Italy can fix your dictator problem for you by asking him politely to stop.

I wonder what would happen if the push back against Trump-Elon does got loud and violent. The Reighstag fire turned the Nazis up to 11.

Or just one daring American with nothing left to lose. Animals are dangerous when backed into a corner and threatened.

They have the #1 (USAF), #2 (US Army Aviation), #4 (US Navy), and #7 (USMC) largest air forces in the world, plus nukes. What do you expect Billy Bob and his AR-15 to accomplish?

I was reading a story recently about an Italian plumber's brother doing big things with less equipment.

There were already two failed assassination attempts. If it were that easy it would have happened already.

And how many secret service agents were guarding that ceo?

As others mentioned, it has to be done by Americans. A single one would do. Anyone knows when Luigi will be available ?

On a more serious note, dictatorships can not be removed from power by external forces unless it comes with overwhelming firepower (like Iraq in 2003) or the invaders are committed to a long war that will let the targeted nation devastated (Axis nations in WWII). But the biggest problem is what to do after the tyrants are out. As the world learned after Iraq and Afghanistan, creating (or restoring) a culture of democracy, human rights and respect for the laws is no easy task.
