Can there be any acceptable way out of this that doesn’t look like the Nuremberg trials?

It’s not like there can be any doubt about the criminality of all this, especially after Hegseth's “no quarter” comments. Hegseth explicitly stated that the current US policy is to summarily execute surrendering combatants!

It’d be convenient though, we could even use the same rope to hang both Trump and Putin.

White House said they'll bomb the energy sector if Iranians don't comply. That would be a war crime. Yes, Russia has been doing that for years, but a US president saying that is a new low.

Nuremberg trials sounds good to me. Not that it's realistic though.

the only way cheeto is going to peacefully leave office is force. he's facing so many incredibly felonies, as does his family and associates, that he / they cannot.

they will burn the US to the ground before they face justice. it will require force, and once you have a mob angry enough to do that we'll see Nuremberg. Or perhaps something closer to Spanish or French revolutionary actions.

		Dunno. After Jan 6th we got Merrick Garland going um, er... for a few years until it was too late. I'm not holding my breath for Nuremberg 2.
