    Which global government enforces international law? Ah that’s right, there is none. Might as well say it violates galactic or universal law.

      People follow it by agreement and the idea is they face sanctions if they don’t. It’s unlikely America will face direct sanctions. However they are unlikely to find many friendly partners moving forward. The more heinous acts, the less other countries can overlook it.

      It’s not just USA. The more countries that skirt international law, the more others also do the same and the less others listen to America. Putin doesn’t care about international law when invading Ukraine. Then china stops caring about consequences for invading Taiwan etc.

      It’s stuff like this that makes the international community more afraid of Trump. The grifting and grafting is an internal problem. The fascism is a humanity problem. The breakdown in rule of law is a global problem.

            Before the USA, it was enabled by the British. Also all those western countries quickly recognized israel after terrorists attacks by zionists like King David hotel bombing and the nekba ethenic cleansing while today they have ton of conditions to effectively on the ground to back up a two state solution without even palestinians right to an army

              Palestine is recognised by over 80% of UN States including all permanent security members except the USA. The biggest two Western countries that don’t recognise are Germany and Italy along with of course Israel.

              It’s not really such an important thing. The impact would be for the USA to stop their support and for the EU to end their trade deal with Israel.

        We have to go through the Bell Riots, the Eugenics Wars, and WWIII, before the Vulcans will show their pointy little ears.

        This timeline they’ve already been through the system and saw our broadcasts. Guess who is on the “Do Not Contact” list for the warp capable group?

          That’s exactly how it plays out. No first contact until 2063. Except there’s been a really ugly nuclear war already by that time.

      Maybe if someone lets Miss Universe know she can send the message on.
