Apparently it’s a crime to remind military members to follow the law and refuse illegal orders (something that it is ingrained in basic) and the pentagon can recall you into the service to discipline you. However, the pentagon will not prosecute you for dodging the draft five times.

Remember, the AI companies have a policy of steal your work first, ask permission last or never. Your novel in easy electronic form makes them money. They have no intention of ever paying for your work. Don't act surprised. The process of that theft raises your electric bill too.

I mean, we all here know that Trump attempts to break international laws to the point everywhere he can.
I am just noting the separate cases of when he does it again and again to help russia.

One plan. Six pillars of international law demolished.
Trump's Ukraine plan requires the US to violate 71 international commitments, @EerikNKross has calculated.
