Anyone want to bet that the map of countries supporting South Africa will look surprisingly similar to the map of countries who recognize Palestine, which coincidentally happens to look surprisingly similar to the map of countries who do not condemn China for Xinjiang?

Oh no! The horror of improving economic relations between China and Switzerland!

America seems to think that, just because they were the global hegemon, that any rising power also seeks hegemony by military power.

Historically, this is supported by the post-Cold War context: the Warsaw Pact, NATO, and US enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine maintained American dominance in the West.

But then, the USSR collapsed. It's a new world, old man.

The ICC is also not a UN body and, notably, lacks the membership of the most powerful geopolitical players (the USA, China, Russia, India) as well as much of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

It's useless.

This is the same ISIS that attacked Iran for being "Jewish", right?

I mean, there's a reason Germany isn't on this lawsuit. Think about it for a minute.

Next you'll tell me that I'M actually the propaganda arm of Hamas

Ukraine comprehensively violating the Minsk Agreements prior to this:

But but I was told that increase in Russian egg prices were unique and a sign of a collapsing empire!

Protesting is symbolic. Seize the means of oil production from the oil chiefs.

Who would win? A $500 billion chip manufacturing complex, or one North Korean nukey boy?

Not an ICBM, crazy I know

In unrelated news, two US Navy service people mysteriously vanished off the coast of Somalia.

Either Ukraine collapses, Russia collapses, or Zelensky is deposed. Those are the only ways out of this quagmire.

You do realize that that's exactly what's happening to Cuba, and the world economy is still functioning?

Oh, wait, are we still pretending that Kennedy didn't place a blockade on Cuba?

Yeah, $70. Still, it's a massive departure from Apple's SOP.

I have never heard of Apple doing a limited-time discount promotion. This is actually rather surprising.

The DPRK has hypersonic warheads, now? Whatever's going on in their education system, I want some of it.

Everything is a post-election ploy and definitely not motivated by plain old economics. China is the largest economy in Asia and has the largest tourism base in Asia (and possibly the world?).

The DPP seems to have forgotten that realpolitik exists.

I am rather surprised that Nauru would break ties, since it's commonly known as being part of the Western sphere of influence.
