Is the US a Terrorist organisation

According to the Terrorism Act on the UK Government’s Crown Prosecution Service Website;

The Terrorism Act 2000 defines terrorism, both in and outside of the UK, as the use or threat of one or more of the actions listed below, and where they are designed to influence the government, or an international governmental organisation or to intimidate the public. The use or threat must also be for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial or ideological cause.

Those actions are:

• serious violence against a person;
• serious damage to property;
• endangering a person’s life (other than that of the person committing the action);
• creating a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or a section of the public; and
• action designed to seriously interfere with or seriously to disrupt an electronic system

Killing the adversarial leader and family members, 160 odd people, mostly children on day one, the oil rain will cause the potential for decades of ill health woukd seem to meet many if not all of the criteria.

And then here is a news article from the Guardian about religious ideology being invoked by commanders in the US.

US military commanders have been invoking extremist Christian rhetoric about biblical “end times” to justify involvement in the Iran war to troops, according to complaints made to a watchdog group.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) says it has received more than 200 complaints from service members across all branches of the armed forces, including the marines, air force and space force.

One complainant, identified as a noncommissioned officer (NCO) in a unit that could be deployed “at any moment to join” operations against Iran, told MRFF in a complaint viewed by the Guardian that their commander had “urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ”.

Just a reminder that the line is The threat must be for the purpose of advancing a religious cause

The answer seems quite clear, before there is any talk about whether a preemptive attack by the US and Israel is a war crime or not or whether the death of inordinate number of protestors warrants such an approach.

Apropos or nothing, 50% of oil and gas profits go to the top 1%.
