What after verdict against Donald Trump?

The guilty verdict against former President Donald Trump is a historic milestone, marking the first time in US history that a former president has been held criminally accountable for his actions. This landmark decision has captured significant media attention and spurred widespread discussion about its implications.

However, amidst this focus, there are broader concerns regarding the actions of past and current US presidents in international conflicts. These concerns include illegal invasions, bombing of civilians, and ongoing military support to nations accused of committing war crimes. These critical issues have not received the same level of scrutiny.

Recently, CBS News correspondent Ed O’Keefe questioned National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby about the US administration's role in international conflicts, specifically the ongoing situation in Gaza. This questioning brought to light President Biden's recent three-point plan to address the conflict, which critics argue lacks measures to ensure Israeli compliance with ceasefire agreements and does not condition military aid on adherence to international law.

The call for greater accountability and a shift in US foreign policy is growing louder as the nation approaches its upcoming elections. There is a strong push among citizens to hold leaders accountable for their actions and to support campaigns that prioritize peace, justice, and humanitarian values. This reflects a deepening desire for substantial changes in both domestic and foreign policies to better align with ethical standards and international obligations.
