If international law were applied evenly, I'm pretty sure Trump and several in his cabinet would be indicted by the ICC for war crimes for what they just did.

Here, we show that bacterial ribosomes—often viewed as conserved drug targets—actually vary across species due to extensive sequence variation in their drug-binding residues. In some cases, this divergence may lead to intrinsic drug resistance in certain bacterial clades: doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

Won't be awake for Trump's birthday parade. Assume it will look something like this.
