Habermas, the philosopher who shaped Germany's post-war conscience Juergen Habermas, best-known for his theory of political consensus-building, shaped the discourse of post-war Germany more than any other popular intellectual.

“… Defending the uniqueness of Third Reich atrocities, Habermas believed that ‘Vergangenheitsbewältigung’, or coming to terms with the past, had to be central to the country's identity …”

Five Air Force Refueling Planes Hit in Iranian Strike on Saudi Arabia Five U.S. Air Force refueling planes were struck and damaged on the ground at Prince Sultan air base in Saudi Arabia, according to two U.S. officials. The tankers were hit during an Iranian missile st...

Yes. The event was reported by no less than The Wall Street Journal. So, it's credible. CentCom and Hegseth, though, have yet to comment on the strike. It is plain, though, from their comments that the Trump administration is waging war not only on Iran … but news reporting (from all publications).

In theory at least, Hegseth could be arrested by MPs via a warrant issued by a Military Commission. However, since we are not signatory to the Rome Statute, we would have to settle for a trial under a Military Commission or a Federal Court, not the ICC. (SCOTUS would have to decide.)

But, having said that, it is also a Federal crime under USC, Title 10: “(6) DENYING QUARTER.—Any person … who, with effective command or control over subordinate groups, declares … that there would be no … surrender accepted, shall be punished as a military commission under this chapter may direct.”

“As a judicial institution, the [International Criminal Court] does not have its own police force or enforcement body; thus, it relies on cooperation … particularly for making arrests, transferring arrested persons to the ICC detention centre in The Hague …”

The assertion by Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, that “no quarter” will be given to Iran is a violation of Law, Military Regulations, and the Geneva Conventions. It is illegal and a war crime to do so.
