Pacifiers are not subpar gear, Apokolips is a little more invested in this attack than normal and I think OL's little chat with Kanto is to blame for this.

Sub par as in "not their best stuff". This isn't a walking sun. And I don't think any of them had father boxes or any of the really nice tools apocalypse has.
That being said, you are right that they are definitely more invested this time around and have definitely upgraded the weapon quality compared to the last attack. This time they even provided some tanks and pacifiers

Googling found me this article. Summary: There are laws which seem to make it illegal to fight in another country's military, but the courts have interpreted them narrowly in such a way that they pretty much never apply. So OL's okay, as long as he doesn't commit war crimes.

OL isn't a US citizen is he? I thought he was Themysciran?

Is he? He has the soul of the Embodiment of Avarice, and a power ring that makes him the same physical age every time he thinks about how much he wants to be healthy.
As he said, it's complicated.
Considering that between his scry ward and the ring he presumably looks on the metaphysical level like an aura of Apokoliptian energy surrounding a void they are probably more than a little confused by what he is.
Either in the sense of not knowing what he is or coming to a false conclusion; I wonder if they think he's an Apokoliptian, or working for one? Mr Zoat did comment that Desaad sensed Paulphidian and assumed it was some other powerful Apokoliptian.

Correct. The only one who could press charges about that is the Amazons. And considering the enemy was basicaly alien invaders and traitors to Earth, why would they?

I find it kind of weird that no one has raised the possibility that Queen Bee is the mastermind behind the whole thing.
I mean, her powers work by bringing people who are attracted to women under her control, right? Who's to say the person everyone thinks is responsible is in control of his actions? That would be an interesting twist.

Actually the first few pages of reactions where all about how Queen Bee is a bitch, so you are factually incorrect, the people arguing that something else is afoot are the ones that don't want this mess to be straight forward insanity that are called plot points in comic book verse (because comic book logic is boring and retarded).

Do you think she'd marry him after he literally tears her in half? Cuz that's where I see this going.
Literally in half.
Or he'll treat her like Wotan and tear off her arms.

They were expecting the Cake Man, they got the Doom Bringer instead.
Unlikely. Not only is he focused on destroying the enemy as quickly as possible, but most of the worthwhile "tech" is in no condition to be worth grabbing after he's done smashing the target. Any useful fragments, he can pick up later.
With the Cake Man sometimes you get the cake, and other times you get baked.

Why would she?
Yes, she gets a good punch in the nose of Adom. He then retalliates by ripping apart her troops, followed shortly thereafter by her.

I said Younger Sister, you know the one that's an idealist and currently in like Switzerland studying?
Now I'm imagining a horrible Saturday morning cartoon series involving Cake Man and baking puns.

"Looks like your evil plan didn't pan out."
It has been raised, and dismissed; Queen Bee has no reason to stick her neck so far out for President For Life Mahmoud.
And she had territorial designs on Qurac, not Kahndaq.
Why would she knowingly make herself a target by inviting Adom to a peace summit, and then sending xeno-armed soldiers to attack the people he's sworn to protect? Gets her nothing but enmity.
Unnecessary enmity at that, since she has no way of killing Adom, and he is an old-style monarch, perfectly capable of dealing with what he considers treachery personally.

She's a petty idiot?
Seriously, the whole "Murdering Marie Logan for no reason other than she could."
Looking at this, and this quote:
I have to wonder if Queen Bee is the one being set up as a sacrifice by someone. Provoking Adom into ripping her apart at a peace conference would cause him serious political damage, especially if it turns out that she wasn't involved.

The 'homophobic bitch with an ego a mile wide at its narrowest point', as an alternate OL once described her? Adom could do better for himself, really. Plus, not sure if he'd be up for marriage again after what happened with the original Shiruta.

It's good now.
You made things better by adding invisitext. I don't know how to handle that.
