    Okay, the law says we need to know it’s a genocide. That means Harris needs proof that it’s a genocide. And the proof needs to be compelling enough to stop the MAGA SCOTUS from meddling. Therefore, investigation. Seems to drag like Harris is doing the right thing. You explained the law in a way that matches what drag heard.

      That means Harris needs proof that it’s a genocide.

      The standard for the Leahy law is that the nation in question has to be credibly implicated in a serious abuse of human rights. The idea that any proof needs to be acceptable to genocide-happy MAGA is just an excuse to continue selling weapons. Any investigation would determine if we should resume arms sales, not a slow walk to delay ceasing arms sales.

      Seems to drag like Harris is doing the right thing.

      Seems to me like anything that keeps the genocide going is considered by you to be the right thing.

        You’re making an ethical argument, and drag already 100% agrees with you ethically. If you want to disagree with drag, try making a legal argument.

          I doubt that.

          I did. You ignored it more than once. It’s why I doubt your agreement with my ethical argument.
