"Overall Alignment: According to legislative trackers and Fetterman himself, he votes with fellow Democrats roughly 91% of the time.

Republican Crossovers: He has sided with Republicans on specific high-profile issues, including government funding bills to avert shutdowns, certain cabinet nominees (such as voting to confirm Pam Bondi for attorney general), and specific foreign policy/war powers votes."

They don't have to attack it with an army. They just have to get groups like AfD into office.

"At 7:48 a.m. CT, Starship's Super Heavy booster ignited its 33 rocket engines to send the spacecraft on its 14th flight. Two-and-a-half minutes after launch, Starship separated from the booster and continued into space. One of the six engines on Starship failed during ascent, prompting SpaceX to decide whether to continue to orbit. About 22 minutes into the flight, the team decided it was safe to do so."

All true. Legally gets mad when I say all the kids are cheating. All the kids are cheating. The game is to make sure you prompt well enough to not get caught. Unless it's obvious, AI detectors don't help, because APA, AMA, MLA, Chicago, IEEE formats all flag as plagiarism.

I can say "Hamas uses human shields", and not care about Israel, and condemn Zionism.

Thank you for playing.

ICC Definition & Legal Framework

Core Act: The intentional use of protected individuals"such as civilians or prisoners of war"to block or deter an enemy attack on specific military targets, zones, or forces.

Protected Status: It applies to people who are otherwise legally protected under international humanitarian law.

Voluntary or Coerced: A person can act as a human shield either by force (involuntarily) or of their own volition (voluntarily), and the prohibition still applies.

Context limitation: Under the current wording of the Rome Statute, this specific war crime is explicitly codified for application during international armed conflicts.

idgaf about Israel.

"Under international humanitarian law (IHL), civilian communities that naturally or historically develop around military bases are not considered "human shields." For a situation to meet the legal definition of human shielding, there must be a specific intent to exploit civilian presence for military advantage."

"Legal scholars often distinguish between active shields and what the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) refers to as "proximate" civilians. These are individuals who simply happen to live or work "too close" to a legitimate military target without any coercive action or deliberate tactical placement taking place. While their proximity dramatically increases their risk during a conflict, they do not automatically fulfill the legal definition of human shields."

"While communities surrounding military bases are not shields, militaries do have a legal obligation under Additional Protocol I (Article 58) to "endeavor to remove the civilian population... from the vicinity of military objectives" and avoid locating military objectives within or near densely populated areas."

"International Criminal Court (ICC): In late 2024, the ICC issued arrest warrants for leaders of both Israel and Hamas (including Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif). While the charges against Hamas leaders heavily centered on the October 7 attacks (such as murder, hostage-taking, and sexual violence), subsequent formal complaints have been filed at the ICC by Palestinian civilians from Gaza, urging the court to explicitly prosecute Hamas for utilizing local residents as human shields."
