ICJ orders Israel to prevent genocide in Gaza, stops short of ordering ceasefire

I usually refrain from making much political commentary.

I will say this: SA is a deeply troubled country, but for once I think the ruling government has actually done a good thing by pursuing this.

SA does not really present itself as an earnest or true actor in the sphere oh human rights.

If Putin is arrested in a foreign country, you'll have the largest nuclear weapons arsenal in the world staring down at the very existence of that nation. No country would do this, however earnest they may be about human rights. Neither will it be fair to expect anyone to do this.

"you'll have the largest nuclear weapons arsenal in the world staring down at the very existence of that nation"

Do you really think that Russian government and military would kill in cold blood tens of millions of people over Putin's fate?

Besides, they would be too busy jockeying for power after Putin is out of the game.

So you want to play a game of Russian roulette? If you and your kind are the only potential victims I'd say go for it. Otherwise thanks but no.

My point is that no game of Russian roulette would be played in this case.

"If you and your kind are the only potential victims I'd say go for it."

That's a lot of hate towards me and 'my kind'.
