I have sufficient historical context to understand how this shit works in practice, dear

Note this how Daddy Sam reacted to the Turkish goons fucking around in Washington.

SS will shoot you like a dog, and by the time your limp dick regime does anything, they will be gone.

You got a law of faith in the" law"

Any properly educated adult knows that the laws bind peasants and protect the rulers. That's poli scie 101

So is you in the club or is you just naive?

Writing in the Washington Post two days after the incident, UVA law professor Ashley Deeks insisted, “Diplomatic immunity protects U.S. officials abroad, too, and if we want to make sure American diplomats and agents aren’t subject to harassment in foreign courts, our options for holding Erdogan’s guards to account are limited.”

In the press conference Thursday, DC Police Chief Newsham said he would leave questions of immunity to the State Department, but said the warrants for arrest came from the Metropolitan Police Department. He said, several times, that he hoped those named in today’s list of suspects would present themselves to face justice — or claim their innocence.

But it may be too late: Most of the security detail in question left for Turkey with Erdoǧan that week. Unless they return, they most likely won’t face justice at all.

i think there's a misunderstanding that i'm giving you the impression i'm gonna be letting like an entire squad of them interview me while i'm on the toilet or something when I'm trying to say I'd let like two of them talk to me through the window while they sit on the back porch while I play circus music at them
