The crime wasn’t the payment, it was the falsifying business records. And based solely on the information in this thread, the final signature for those false records did happen while he was in office in 2017.
Just because it happened when he was in office does not make it an official act, but thats their argument
In a sharp escalation of its drone campaign targeting strategic industries deep inside Russia, Ukraine seems to have fitted Cessna-style light planes with remote controls, packed them with explosives and flown at least one of them more than 600 miles to strike a Russian factory in Yelabuga, 550 miles east of Moscow....
Yeah pretty sure that’s a war crime under the Rome Statute. Emphasis mine.
The law applicable in international armed conflict forbids “mak[ing] improper use of … the military insignia and uniform of the enemy …” (Art. 23(f) of the Hague Regulations of 1899 and 1907; Art. 39 of Additional Protocol I; Art. 8(2)(b)(vii) of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court). Not all uses of enemy uniforms are prohibited therefore; only “improper” uses. For example, wearing enemy uniforms in order to flee the fighting or escape capture does not run afoul of the law (U.S. Department of Defense Law of War Manual § 5.23.1.4). On the other side of the spectrum, engaging in attacks while wearing the uniform of the enemy is flatly prohibited, as affirmed in the treaty law and numerous military manuals (see here, here and here, for example), and is a war crime under the Rome Statute.
As a dad of two girls, these jokes exist in a lot of kids stuff. Part of what makes it funny is you’re not expecting it, so it catches you completely off guard. Then you laugh out loud and you kids either laugh too because they think there was something funny to laugh at, or they just look at you like you’ve got 2 heads. Both responses only make it funnier to me
What’s the most common reason applicants for a security clearance are denied? Botched finances, the same one that causes those with clearances to lose them.
The reason is self-evident: Military personnel in deep debt are considered more open to bribes or accepting money in exchange for revealing secrets
This games in a weird spot. There not enough to keep hard-core fans going, but players like me who will put in probably less than 200 hours a season, it’s good. It’s still my first season, I’m not level 100, and I’m having a blast leveling, taking on new bosses, and exploring. Works about to cut into my play time a lot more in the next couple of weeks, so I’m already thinking ahead to making a different character next season.
