Eighty years ago today, the Nuremberg trials began.
Leaders of Nazi Germany were held criminally accountable for invading other countries, committing crimes against civilians and POWs, and carrying out the mass murder in extermination camps.
Of the 24 defendants, twelve were sentenced to death.

Q: Suppose the American people elected an utter moron as their president.
Through malevolence or incompetence he is speedrunning the USA into irrelevance.
Which measures are most effective to bring quick ruin?
To rapidly speedrun a powerful nation like the USA into ruin through incompetence or deliberate malevolence, certain measures would be especially devastating:
1. Destroy Economic Confidence:
Massive, reckless inflation by irresponsible money-printing or debt-spending.
Default on national debt or threaten default, destroying international creditworthiness.
Launch a chaotic trade war against key allies and major trade partners, dismantling global trust and economic stability.
2. Destabilize Domestic Stability:
Openly encourage political violence or polarization, undermining national unity.
Repeatedly delegitimize key institutions (courts, law enforcement, election integrity), creating societal mistrust and unrest.
Ignore critical domestic infrastructure (transportation, energy grid, healthcare systems), allowing systems to collapse through neglect.
3. Damage International Relations and Alliances:
Abandon or betray major alliances (NATO, Asian-Pacific alliances), leading to rapid loss of geopolitical influence.
Start reckless military conflicts or invasions, draining national resources and eroding global standing.
Publicly antagonize or threaten nuclear-armed rivals (e.g., Russia, China), increasing risk of catastrophic conflict.
4. Severely Undermine Education and Technological Leadership:
Slash funding and sabotage innovation hubs (universities, research facilities, NASA).
Deliberately allow competitor nations to overtake in critical areas (AI, biotechnology, advanced manufacturing).
5. Undermine the Rule of Law and Democratic Norms:
Ignore the Constitution, illegally assuming new powers and setting dangerous precedents.

This would work as the left half of a split keyboard if rotated by 90°. You'd need to get creative with the keymap though.
