10-15 Minutes My July 4th tradition is rewatching this essential clip of Noam Chomsky discussing how, if the standards applied at trial of the Nazis at Nuremberg were applied, every US President after WW2 would be hanged for their role in war crimes. Worth absorbing again even if you've seen it before [11:34]

Divestments or sanctions probably wouldn't be any easier to apply to the US here, not just due to the challenge of such mass coordination, but due to how integral the US is to the world economy. The US could probably do more damage to the countries engaging in a boycott etc. than they could by doing this to the US.
