Next, the Moral GPS is not legal advice disclaimer must be wheeled out again. Actually figure out everything and consult with lawyers etc. before blindly following what you read on the internet even if it’s Moral GPS.

OK so now for how any Ukrainian can stop the flow of critical machine tools, software and technical support services. This is pretty simple: sue the companies and the countries and the EU itself. Any Ukrainian living in Ukraine can sue claiming that the companies, the people associated with them and the countries (including the EU) are working together with Russia to commit the war crimes of targeting civilians directly with attacks on apartment buildings and targeting the power grid to freeze civilians to death along with war of aggression (and any other war crimes or crimes against humanity that are applicable) etc. You can also include tons of other potential rights that you can choose from in the European Convention on Human Rights and Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (both documents for instance include Dignity and Right to Life since Russia is targeting and mass murdering civilians). These lawsuits must be filed in national courts and possibly EU courts (for EU Courts you need specifically tailor it to EU law and the powers of the EU To force its Member States to not provide equipment and services for Russian War crimes). If you lose in national courts you will to to the European Court of Human Rights (Unfortunately you can’t directly send your lawsuit to this court. You have to first lose your case in national courts.) The ECHR has the widest jurisdiction especially because it includes Ukraine and EU states and countries like Switzerland and the UK. Sadly you can’t just get the ECHR to instantly ban this. This is why you should sue in national courts along with the EU. Potentially a lawsuit in the EU courts could quickly be resolved into a total EU ban along with countries outside the EU because The court could require the EU to alter its relationships with other countries who do not go along with the ban. Countries like Switzerland and the UK could lose economic and connections with the EU if they don’t comply. The good news here is that it’s unlikely that you’ll have to go through a massive legal struggle since European countries don’t want to be seen as openly committing war crimes with Russia. There will be lots of pressure put on these countries and most likely there will be good court rulings or sanctions packages or something else that will be very helpful.

Unfortunately, East Asian countries aren’t covered by European courts and they don’t have something similar to either the ECHR or the EU courts so you’d have to take a chance with courts in their countries and see if you can win there. These countries will Also not want to be exposed publicly for Committing war crimes with Russia and there will be good court rulings or sanctions packages or something else that will be very helpful.

Criminal prosecutions and lawsuits, that would be big enough to bankrupt these war criminals providing services and equipment to Russia for the purposes of murdering civilians, are a good idea and should also be pursued. Nevertheless, the main focus must be on getting courts to ban support for Russia’s War Crimes Machine. This will have an immediate impact on the battlefield and everyone can then sue these war criminals into the ground and put them in jail.

Bonus Round: Many of these companies (and even some other companies such as global defense contractors that have done work for Russia) have potentially either deceived or not disclosed these activities to investors. This means that some type of shareholder lawsuits against these companies may be possible. So anyone who invested in these companies (which could be a lot of people since some of them are in index funds) could potentially be able to sue. However, this depends on a ton of things and you’d have to handle it correctly which definitely means you’d need to get real legal professional advice. Internet bullshit and asking Chat GPT will not cut it. Our disclaimer once again that this isn’t investment or legal advice.

Since the beginning of Russia’s all out invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Russia has been sanctioned extensively. However, high end machine tools and the software and technical support services required to maintain them have for the most part not been sanctioned and are mostly provided by companies in Europe and East Asia. Machine tools and software have military and non military applications, but since Russia’s full mobilization at the start of the war, All machine tools are only used for military production. The machine tools, software, and technical support services have been mostly used to manufacture long range Russian missiles (although now they are being used for artillery production). These missiles are almost exclusively used to directly target civilians in places like apartment buildings and schools or to destroy critical infrastructure that civilians need to stay alive such as power grids in the winter which the civilians use for heat.

The important points are:

1. European and East Asian companies provide machine tools, software, and Technical Support to Russia.

2. Russia only uses these tools and services for the military.

3. The Russian War Crimes Machine uses them to build weapons to commit war crimes since these weapons are almost always targeted at civilians.

4. The companies providing them with these tools and services are aware that they are committing these war crimes with the Russian War Crimes Machine (or else they are bending over backward to not figure out what’s going on).

This can’t be stressed enough. Firms in places like the EU, UK, Switzerland, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan provide constant updates and service these highly specialized machine tools. They see into the manufacturing process because they the hands of their customers every step of the way. A good analogy would be if you ran a poison gas company during World War 2 and making tons of poison gas for several years that you ship to camps, where you also have installed special shower heads to spray the gas in showers. In this analogy you also send out technicians to fix the shower heads every time they have a technical issue. At the end of the war would the Allies have tried you for war crimes and crimes against humanity? The obvious answer is yes and it should be the same for these people and companies who are directly providing Russia with the capabilities to attack civilians. All equipment and services must be stopped immediately and everyone involved must be prosecuted. Unfortunately stopping all of this will not immediately destroy the Russian War Crimes Machine but it will over time cause lost of problems for them.

This ICC complaint calls for prosecution of everyone involved in providing the Russian War Crimes Industrial Complex with the equipment and continued support and maintenance services for that equipment to produce the weapons Russia uses for the deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure with the explicit goal of mass murdering civilians. This should include, but not be limited to employees, owners, and executives of the companies providing such equipment and services along with prosecutions of the companies themselves. This complaint also asks that in cases where the ICC does not have jurisdiction that the ICC fully cooperate with those who do have universal jurisdiction and can investigate and prosecute. Thank you!

It appears that the Jeffrey Epstein child sex trafficking ring is now far larger than most people imagined. What was widely seen as conspiracy theory now appears to be true based on revelations in the partially released US Epstein files. The sheer size and scope of the atrocities committed against vulnerable people by this global secret (but kind of obvious) Pedophile Club may meet the thresholds (in terms of size and scale) of being a crime against humanity. It also appears to have been mostly de facto state sanctioned by a lot of countries, who in most cases have done little to prosecute. It involves high ranking government officials who had government bodyguards who appear to have possibly covered this up. At various times the justice system has worked to cover this up. Many perpetrators got sweetheart deals or have never been prosecuted or possibly even seriously investigated. It also appears that the ringleader Jeffrey Epstein when he was finally caught and in serious trouble was assassinated in prison. This massive global crime against humanity covered much of the world. This includes the United States (obviously), the United Kingdom, where there is credible evidence against Prince Andrew possibly committing these crimes within the UK, France where Jeffrey Epstein lived (part time) and appears to have committed these crimes, and senior figures from many countries including business people, royals, and government officials. These include British and Norwegian royalty, along with senior British, American, Spanish, Israeli, Indian, Slovakian, and Norwegian government officials. There are many more. He had tons of close ties to other wealthy, famous, and powerful people around the world. There are allegations that this industrial scale global sex trafficking ring was backed by countries’ intelligence services. It appears that there is a global elite pedophile ring that is acting with relative impunity for most of its members who are grooming, bribing, and coercing children (and possibly adults as well) as part of a crime against humanity sized sex trafficking ring. While there have been a handful of investigations and prosecutions, they appear to be few and far between. The US government has stated that they aren’t interested in any Epstein related prosecutions, but maybe might prosecute someone eventually (wink wink). The UK has opened a new investigation into its now former Ambassador to the US and releasing files related to him. Prince Andrew appears to not be under investigation. He won’t be sweating it because his superpower is to not sweat at all. France arrested Jean-Luc Brunel who was an Epstein co-conspirator on what seemed to be an unrelated sex charge. He also magically hung himself in his prison cell. The only people who have so far faced criminal prosecutions for the Epstein scandal seem to only be Epstein himself, two of the other people who helped run the organization, and possibly a UK government official (just for leaking some government info to Epstein). Clearly global investigations and prosecutions are needed to stop this crime against humanity otherwise these elites will rebuild their network and continue to sex traffic countless children. This complaint also asks that in cases where the ICC does not have jurisdiction that the ICC fully cooperate with those who do have universal jurisdiction and can investigate and prosecute. Thank you!

It’s a bit of a problem to find a solution to defeat and completely eliminating the mass murdering terrorist regime in Iran. Consider the many requirements:

1. The solution has to actually eliminate the regime and replace it with a free democratic Iran. So any solution that crushes the regime but allows it to survive (Israel-Iran 2025 war style) doesn’t work.

2. The solution also has to minimize casualties for civilians in Iran along with any troops who help liberate them.

3. The solution also has to limit the physical damage to Iran as much as possible so that there won’t be huge bills for reconstruction.

4. The solution itself should also not cost a lot either.

Fortunately, the US and allies have a relatively easy solution that can be customized based on what happens in Iran and what the regime’s responses are. This solution has been recently tested with Cuba and Venezuela and is surprisingly effective. In a word, blockade (in international law it could be called a “quarantine” but regular people call it a blockade).

While most of the world has focused on the capture of Maduro and the fact most of his regime is still intact and in control of Venezuela, the US has been blocking the export of oil from Venezuela and the importation of oil to Cuba for over a month and a half. This is devastating both countries’ regimes and if continued might lead to the downfall of both regimes without any other action being taken. After all, what’s the point of working for the security services that oppress peaceful protesters if you’re not going to get paid and you’re starving too? If necessary, other actions can be taken such as attacking regime leaders and security forces who attack peaceful protesters and destroying critical infrastructure.

It’s a good idea for the US to blockade Iran’s oil for a few reasons.

1. The first is because the US can. The US has 11 carrier strike groups. They are only using 1 to blockade Cuba and Venezuela. That means the US can literally do 10 more blockades around the world. (This is a bit of an exaggeration, but the US definitely has the resources to do this elsewhere.) The US has currently deployed another carrier nearby Iran.

2. The next reason is because such a blockade will bankrupt the regime and end it. Unlike Venezuela and Cuba, Iran has peaceful protesters who are actually fighting the government to take control. The government has only survived because they are mass murdering a lot of people. This murdering requires two things:

A) Weapons

B) People who will use those weapons.

The Iranian government has to have the money to pay their security forces and pay for the weapons that they use. Iran doesn’t have enough money to run the country so they print money which caused the inflation that caused the protests. Therefore they can’t do quantitative easing or deficit spending. They only survive by selling oil for goods that they import that help the country survive. The moment that money is gone the government will either have to print more money to maintain the amount of spending that they are currently doing which might cause the Iranian people to just stop using currency altogether and switch to bartering, or they ‘d have to cut spending which would further collapse their economy. This problem is even worse because Iran can’t replace essential goods that they need to keep their economy going. Other countries won’t accept worthless Iranian currency. At that point Iran’s economy collapses, the regime can’t build or maintain weapons, and can’t pay, arm, and feed security forces. It’s over because as less and less people are willing to fight the protesters, they have less and less weapons and equipment to do so. It’s very likely that regime insiders who won’t be getting paid will defect and cut deals and spy on the regime. This makes getting rid of the regime even easier. Also at this stage attacks on regime leaders or security forces or some other steps can help finish the job. If you’re wondering about the Iranian nuclear program, what nuclear program? At that point they can’t afford anything including nukes. (North Korea could afford them because they didn’t have a massive uprising and they received massive help over their borders from China and Russia.) Handling the oil is simple. Sell the oil on world markets so there isn’t a spike in the price of oil and use it to pay for the blockade. (If the money is somehow misused as some people have alleged with the Venezuelan oil money, then let anti corruption investigators handle that.)

The blockade is perfect as proven by Venezuela and Cuba, but the strategy has to be able to handle all scenarios. These are these scenarios that the US could be faced with:

1. Iran does nothing and takes it like a bitch.

2. Iran attempts to escort ships through the blockade.

3. Iran attacks the blockading ships and planes and other assets directly (including with booby trapped ships).

4. Iran attacks elsewhere outside Iran.

5. Iran attacks their own people even more.

Here’s how to handle each scenario:

1. If the blockade ain’t broke don’t fix it.

2. If Iran attempts to escort ships through the blockade. The US can use long range weapons like drones and missiles and torpedoes to attack the ships and their escorts. This helps maintain the blockade and hopefully stop the US from having to take more powerful measures that could cause a lot of damage and Iran that might be expensive to rebuild.

3, 4, 5. Such measures can include attacks on Iranian leaders and security forces and other special targets that US intelligence might have but regular people on the Internet don’t. However, some easy targets that destroy the regime include in order of most damaging to the regime while at the same being easiest to fix when they are defeated:

A) Oil refineries

B) Oil and gas port facilities

C) Oil and gas transport infrastructure

Oil refineries are the best to attack because they are a choke point, and if they are destroyed and the regime falls Iran can just export crude oil to other countries that will refine it and send it back Until reconstruction is complete. They are the most important choke point because they are big easy to hit targets (both in their large physical size and in the limited number of them in the country). Once destroyed the regime will run out of Refined oil products for transportation, power generation, and won’t be able to sell them for profit. Parts of the Iranian economy that depend on driving like people driving to work or goods being delivered by trucks will collapse. Destroying oil and gas port facilities next will mean that they can’t load tankers and sell oil and gas anymore via ship so you won’t even really need a naval blockade. The only problem with this is that it will be expensive to reconstruct and Iran won’t be able to sell oil and gas on international markets to pay for Iran’s reconstruction and to help keep prices low around the world. If both A and B targets are destroyed Iran’s economy is probably out of commission already but destroying Iran’s oil and gas transport infrastructure means oil and gas can’t get moved around the country so it will be hard for them to transport anything and hard to generate electricity Or sell oil and gas which they do through neighboring countries (This is a relatively small scale industry especially compared to the oil that is with tankers). It will probably be best to destroy 1 or 2 targets of each type as a warning to Iran and if they persist then destroy every target for that letter. Then move on to the next letter in the sequence of A, B, C.

This is simple and flexible plan to destroy the Iranian regime with minimal risk, loss of life, and infrastructure damage. Certainly loss of life and infrastructure damage can happen based on Iran’s response. However in those situations it will be far worse for them then the US and allies. This strategy has already proven with Venezuela and Cuba and when Trump destroys Iranian mass murdering regime, and saves millions of innocent Iranian lives, he will definitely have earned the Nobel Peace Prize.
