Notable move by Trump, though what exactly Hook was fired from is unclear.

Hook is an Iran hawk who reportedly pushed for the Soleimani strike and subsequently received taxpayer-funded protection against Iranian retaliation.

How do you mark an anniversary of past mass atrocity crimes? How do you show respect for the victims?

Surely not by declaring you won’t arrest a man wanted for mass atrocity crimes today.

A deeply disrespectful move by Poland’s government here.
