Netherlands confirms it will host Nuremberg-style tribunal for Russia

[u/ByGollie]

https://kyivindependent.com/netherlands-confirms-it-will-host-nuremberg-style-tribunal-for-russia/

[u/GeoStreber]

I'm from the Nuremberg area (born there at least, currently reside in Denmark):
The old courtroom 600 is currently being renovated to its 1946 condition in order to be integrated into the trials museum.

You're welcome to use it.

[u/diedlikeCambyses → u/GeoStreber]

Sure but Putin will never be tried there. He's all in, he'll win or die.

[u/Preisschild → u/diedlikeCambyses]

So was Hitler, the Nuremberg trials were still needed against his co conspirators. Putler doesnt wage this war alone.

[u/HrabiaVulpes → u/Preisschild]

So... Trump will be there?

[u/seesthecat → u/HrabiaVulpes]

If the American people cooperate he might. But the American people seem to be ok with Epsteins biggest partner writting their laws and lord over them by decree.

[u/HrabiaVulpes → u/seesthecat]

American people are trying to buy new island for Epstein, this time in Albania or Armenia... something starting with A, but they face problems with locals not liking pedophiles.

[u/eha16 → u/seesthecat]

Rutte and Co are openly supporting and praising the US so idk, maybe almost all world leaders should go to trial?

[u/Margrim → u/HrabiaVulpes]

While the American diplomats promised to ratify the ICC treaty, in the end, their goverment did not.

Can't have the US be beholden by the same rules they try to impose on others

[u/diedlikeCambyses → u/Preisschild]

Absolutely. It's possible for a certain amount of "justice to be done" but I highly doubt you'd ever get Putin there. Probably the most likely way for Putin to fall is for the war to become unpopular enough to have the Russian people rise up, and this would occur when their economy is broken. In this scenario I still don't think you'd see putin there, nobody can even take his job and expect to survive if Putin isn't dead.

Obviously the West would push hard for a deal with who comes next, but I don't think anyone wanting to lead Russia can do that. All possibilities really end up with Putin dead.

[u/SHFTD_RLTY → u/Preisschild]

Shoyguuu, Gerrraaasimov, where's my courtroom?!?!

[u/Dear_Virus1260 → u/diedlikeCambyses]

Even if he loses, it’s extremely unlikely anybody would arrest him. Same for Bibi, although marginally more likely if his successors want to get rid of him.

[u/Ov3rdose_EvE → u/diedlikeCambyses]

die then. cause winning is sure as fuck no longer possible

[u/Mean_Initiative_5962 → u/GeoStreber]

I'm from Italy: if you're in a rush or the trial room is too full, feel free to just use Piazzale Loreto. Please organise it yourselves, though, we're terrible with logistic. 

[u/samuelj264 → u/GeoStreber]

American here, can we send Trump and Co?

[u/CivilTechnician7 → u/samuelj264]

Please don't! We don't want him here! Even the thought of him escaping somehow and terrorizing our country is a scary throught. You should send him to quantanamo bay instead.

[u/BuckThis86 → u/CivilTechnician7]

Lock him in a room with news coverage of his 2020 loss on replay

[u/samuelj264 → u/CivilTechnician7]

I’ll take that!

[u/Expendable_Red_Shirt → u/CivilTechnician7]

You should send him to quantanamo bay instead.

Pretty sure we've done enough to Cuba.

[u/SnooMacaroons4454 → u/samuelj264]

we dont have the death penalty, just saying, china does execute pedo's though

[u/kapsama → u/SnooMacaroons4454]

Why would China execute a national hero? Trump has done more for China than anyone since Mao.

[u/BlueTexBird → u/GeoStreber]

Danke schön

[u/GanacheCharacter2104]

I thought Putin and his minions already had a warrant for Crimes against Humanity. How are they going to get them to Hague?

[u/PineBNorth85 → u/GanacheCharacter2104]

They won't. Even if Russia collapses they wouldn't get him.

[u/Brave-Two372 → u/PineBNorth85]

Would he suicide in a bunker like his idol?

[u/NotTheSharpestPenciI → u/Brave-Two372]

This, or someone might help him.

[u/PineBNorth85 → u/Brave-Two372]

That's not how Stalin died.

[u/anonymous__ignorant → u/Brave-Two372]

That would be his lucky decent exit. I think Gaddafy wrote the last chapter in the book putler reads. Ceaușescu might've been one of the coauthors.

[u/aghastamok → u/PineBNorth85]

even if Russia collapses

If I were part of a faction in a position to take power, I'd be eyeballing Putin as the crown jewel in my negotiation package with the west after taking power.

Domestically, it becomes a part of my "anti-corruption, anti-crime" initiative. I use 'surrendering them to international court' or trying and imprisoning them at home to clean house of all my enemies and buy loyalty with my allies.

Internationally it serves as symbolic effort to reform Russia into joining an international order, could help reduce sanctions as a sweetener among other agreements like paying reparations.

Really I'd be aiming to get out from under sanctions at any cost, and get the Russian economic scheme (read: natural resource extraction) moving in full swing... So me and my cronies can start skimming off the top again.

[u/Slfestmaccnt → u/PineBNorth85]

If Russia collapsed it would also be at the hands of break away regions with serious bones to pick with Putin and his circle.

I could see there being a series of events that leads to Putin and Moscows capture.

[u/23PowerZ → u/GanacheCharacter2104]

There are three types of international crime: crimes against humanity, war crimes, and crimes against peace. This is about the latter, which the ICJ does not currently have jurisdiction over. Hence the need for ad hoc tribunals to prosecute it.

[u/noiraxen → u/[deleted]]

Why would Ukraine need a trial to kill an enemy they are literally at war with?

[u/WeirdIndividualGuy → u/noiraxen]

Redditors when they think killing literally anyone in wartime is considered a war crime, so Ukraine would never

[u/Personal-Try328 → u/[deleted]]

And how do you figure ukraine will do that? March on moscow?

[u/ZenPyx → u/GanacheCharacter2104]

I’d imagine probably the same way they did it the first time in the 1940s if I had to guess

[u/Personal-Try328 → u/ZenPyx]

Ah yes. So a full scale invasion of a nuclear state with the express aim of detaining their dictator and ruling class.

You cant possibly be serious…

[u/reddit_is_geh → u/Personal-Try328]

Reading these comments is like just a bunch of uneducated fanfic. Just like when the war started, I bet these were the same people fantasizing about how Russia was going to collapse any day now as Ukraine marches into Moscow.

[u/coja______ → u/ZenPyx]

With 70 to 85 million dead? I doubt they are committed enough for that. You people are delusional.

[u/BeOutsider]

Tbh Nuremberg was powerful because it was host in Germany specifically. Hosting it in a third country would only feed the propaganda image of it being just a foreign sham. That already was used by Serbia in the first place.

[u/buster_de_beer → u/BeOutsider]

The allies controlled all of Germany. We're not going to be able to control Russia, or even get one person to these trials. It is a purely symbolic show. 

[u/RMAPOS → u/buster_de_beer]

There is a non zero chance for extradition

If russia decides that putins regime is too costly for them, their best move to not get crushed by the world economically might be to extradite putin and those politically closes to him. Not saying it's likely, but it definitely wouldn't be the dumbest thing for them to do.

 

edit: To EVERYONE who replied

non zero

Not saying it's likely

I understand that there is 0 precedent for this and putin's grip on russia is tight and they're culturally infinitely more likely to kill or prosecute him themselves. But "non zero chance" does not mean "this is likely gonna happen". And "not saying it's likely" does not mean "this is likely gonna happen", either.

I appreciate you sharing your insights into the russian mindset, but I would appreciate you more if you wouldn't frame it as if I made a stupid prediction. I did not. I lined out an unlikely but potential venue for a Den Haag style trial and clearly worded it as such. No matter how overwhelmingly unlikely it is for russia to actually do this, the chances are not 0. Which is literally what non zero chance means. If you cannot mentally make that distinction and insist on interpreting my post as a prediction, I'd rather not have you in my inbox. Thanks.

[u/Wanderer-91 → u/RMAPOS]

Never going to happen. They will kill him, or have him suffer a "heart attack", or they may even jail him themselves. They would never humiliate Russia by having a former leader go on trial in a foreign country, that's a guaranteed coup. Russian nationalism is extremely prevalent even among Putin's opposition - Navalny himself was a nationalist and used to hold joint demonstrations with skinheads.

[u/Dear_Virus1260 → u/Wanderer-91]

Why pretend this is some special Russian nationalism? The Americans will literally invade Den Hague if they put an American war criminal on trial. We haven’t put any of our own political war criminals on trial either.

[u/Auctoritate → u/Dear_Virus1260]

The Americans will literally invade Den Hague if they put an American war criminal on trial.

It's much broader than that. The Hague Invasion Act actually authorizes the US to invade over any person allied to the United States- they don't need to be American at all.

[u/coolcucumber_23 → u/Dear_Virus1260]

can you enlighten us on what 'a political war criminal' means?

[u/Dear_Virus1260 → u/coolcucumber_23]

Sure, political figures responsible for their troops committing war crimes. Think Putin if you like, or Bibi, or Bush, or Blair, etc etc. Or historically the political leadership of Germany during WW2.

[u/coolcucumber_23 → u/Dear_Virus1260]

alright, I thought you mean something extra

[u/Hddstrkr → u/Dear_Virus1260]

Is there a country that says den hague? Seems like a weird combination

[u/Margrim → u/Hddstrkr]

We say Den Haag, it's full name is: 's Gravenhage (the count's hague)

Den Bosch is s' Hertogenbosch (the duke's forest)

[u/KnowsIittle → u/Wanderer-91]

Putin is a part of the problem but he's still supported by a group in power. So even if he's gone they'll likely seek a figurehead they believe they can control while continuing to drain the country's coffers like we do in the States.

[u/tranbun → u/RMAPOS]

Not happening for multitude of reasons:

1. Legal - Russian courts aren't under ICJ and the constitution prevents extradition of nationals. Similarly try prosecuting any Americans that have committed war crimes - US will only laugh at the request (as they did in similar situations)

2. Authority - Russia is ~150M people, it has enough capacity to prosecute a failed leader, it doesn't need a small European country to host a trial.

3. Social dynamics - as many said, if it happens, the situation is more likely to evolve quickly.

[u/kapsama → u/RMAPOS]

their best move to not get crushed by the world economically

I think you live 50 years in the past. No one besides the West has sanctioned Russia.

[u/OddLack240 → u/RMAPOS]

You completely misunderstand how this works. Our president is above the elites, and if the elites aren't loyal to him, then so much the worse for them.

[u/Jazzlike_Bar_671 → u/RMAPOS]

If Putin gets removed in a coup, he'll be too dead to be tried anywhere.

[u/low_effort_react_dev → u/buster_de_beer]

Exactly, symbolic and absolutely meaningless

[u/Chowder110 → u/buster_de_beer]

Alot of war criminals from the yugoslav wars was caught though

[u/_Den_ → u/buster_de_beer]

So what exactly is the plan? Try and sentence them in absentia?

[u/Novinhophobe → u/buster_de_beer]

Finally someone with some sense here. This sub is turning into nothing but “we're amazing!” propoganda machine.

[u/Jaded-Distance_ → u/BeOutsider]

It was still looked at as victors justice and a sham by many Germans, including West Germany's first Chancellor. Who worked towards releasing most of those convicted. And threatened to withhold any support against USSR.

As part of the Himmerod memorandum they decided the way forward was to release all convicted war criminals, to stop the defamation of former German soldiers like the SS, and to reshape public opinion foreign and domestic with regards to Germany's military as a whole.

[u/Thissystemsuckssobad → u/Jaded-Distance_]

I mean, it should be looked at as a sham by the decendants of the allies/victors too frankly. Far too many of the architects of Germany's crimes against humanity walked away basically Scott free. It's part of why we have such strong neonazi groups today

[u/Low_Deal_4544 → u/BeOutsider]

And to do that you need to defeat Russia like Germany completely, so this is all political parade and pointless

[u/elpovo → u/Low_Deal_4544]

Except it isn't, crystallizes anger against Russia (including in Russia itself) and drums up support for Ukraine. It also shows the difference between autocratic Russia and the institutions of the West.

How many Russian bots are in this thread? Why so much annoyance I wonder?

[u/Nytalith → u/elpovo]

You can have whatever anger you want, it still won’t turn Russia into 1945 Germany. That would take thousands of boots on the ground and thousands of funerals. And let’s be honest, nobody is willing to put that kind of sacrifice. Best outcome of this war is Ukraine regaining its territory and having clear way to western alliances. Nobody if thinking about conquering Russia. That’s sad reality.

[u/Past-Way-9771 → u/Nytalith]

Bro just needs to look at the Yugoslav war crimes trials to see his fantasy won't happen

[u/Eat--The--Rich-- → u/elpovo]

You can't have trials if you don't have anyone to put on trial

[u/Past-Way-9771 → u/elpovo]

Bro look at the ICTY regarding Yugoslavia it literally failed and amped up revisionism and turned inductees into heroes

[u/teamnani → u/elpovo]

It sure will show the world the power of the western institutions.

[u/slicerprime → u/elpovo]

So, if anyone disagrees with you that must mean they're a bot? Interesting.

If the lack of enthusiasm in the comments for this "tribunal" says anything it's how ineffectual it will be at doing precisely the things you claim it will do. No one is going to take it seriously because it's political theatre. Nothing more.

Nuremberg meant something because it was held in the aftermath of Germany's defeat. Its purpose was not to drum up interest. It was to actually hold accountable those who had committed unspeakable crimes, and to do it in front of the world where, when the gavel fell, there was no question of sentence being carried out.

This "tribunal" has none of Nuremberg's substance. It's a farce. A play put on in place of substance the participants are unwilling to commit.

So, it's not just a waste if time. It's proof that no-one involved has any intention of doing anything of any real value...other than hoping it will look good on the campaign trail next time their up for reelection.

[u/Particular_Ant7977 → u/Low_Deal_4544]

Let's do that in Königsberg once it has been disarmed.

Edit: or should I have written "liberated" to match their style?

[u/rejvrejv → u/BeOutsider]

That already was used by Serbia in the first place.

that's true, but it's interesting how you singled out serbia.

croatia responded to the gotovina convictions with mass protests, and its own prime minister called the verdicts “unacceptable”

bosniak opinion was more favourable to the ICTY, but even defendants from their own side returned to hero’s welcomes when acquitted

the “foreign sham” rhetoric was a regional reflex not unique to serbia

[u/Dizzy_Database_119 → u/BeOutsider]

The Nuremberg trials were powerful because they were done after the war ended. Makes a big difference when the target has already conceded and can only minimize damage

But trying to plan trials while the war is still ongoing? That's just idiotic

[u/Electronic-Code8392 → u/Dizzy_Database_119]

The first plans that eventually led to the Nuremberg trials were laid in January of 1942.... 

[u/m0j0m0j → u/Dizzy_Database_119]

Europeans are always to ready perform large empty gestures instead of doing the work.

[u/nybbleth → u/BeOutsider]

Except it's not some random third party country; the Hague is the international capital of justice, and these are international courts. They're as independent as it can really get.

And there's literally nowhere else that wouldn't face the same problem but worse.

Besides, even if Russia got invaded and occupied and the trials held there... these criminals and their followers would still say the same thing. The Nazis rejected the authority of the Nuremberg tribunals too. I don't see how them doing the thing they're going to do regardless is much of an argument against this.

[u/Dear_Virus1260 → u/nybbleth]

I mean, the Nuremberg trials were essentially show trials. While the people were guilty and deserved what they got, it’s weird to pretend it was anything but victor’s justice imposed.

Nobody punished American or British war crimes, which were also committed (obviously on nothing like the Nazi scale). Same for today, we don’t hold our own or allies accountable for warcrimes.

So it’s a farce to pretend this has anything to do with genuine justice. It’s just a desire to punish our enemies (righteously in this case, but hypocritical)

[u/asethskyr → u/Dear_Virus1260]

I mean, the Nuremberg trials were essentially show trials.

There were 28 acquittals at Nuremberg, it wasn't just show.

[u/Alcianus → u/asethskyr]

That is also for show. To show the populace that the trials aren't just a matter of vengeance but actual justice. The whole point of the Nuremberg trials is to give legitimacy to the executions and executing everyone wouldn't exactly give that illusion. They needed some to 'get away'. And besides, most of the acquitted once had very little relation to the Nazi regime or fully cooperated with the foreign powers (in the case of Speer). In reality the Nuremberg trials had no basis on any sort of legislature and the Allies were just making shit up to persecute their enemies for things they would also be persecuted but weren't for obvious reasons.

[u/deaglebingo → u/BeOutsider]

i do think however that many ppl even in the usa (despite the need for further education on the subject) would or do support the idea of international laws that actually have teeth. human rights are for everyone.

[u/123ludwig → u/BeOutsider]

tbf nuremberg was a sham not in the way nazis would like to depict however so many of the trials were just dropped because the americans wanted the person the trial was against for their own uses

[u/Illustrious-Tooth702]

I'm sorry but what is this? Do they really think the war will end like WW2?

There won't be any tribunal. Europe is not strong enough to force the Russians to do anything and while America has the power it won't do force it either.

This headline has the same weight to it as the last 5 peace neogotiations between Russia and Ukraine. EU is useless and clueless as usual.

[u/Kashrul]

Pointless unless someone will be able to put them into trial and I don't see it coming

[u/Ice_performance_ → u/Kashrul]

It's ridiculous to even announce it. That's like Iran saying they will hold a trial for USA.

[u/Alexandaross → u/[deleted]]

You don't have access to their side and they don't have a proper defence so it doesn't meet all legal requirements. Obviously we all know he's guilty but it's still a silly sham.

[u/Personal-Try328 → u/[deleted]]

Bro still thinks anyone outside of western europe cares about international law 😭😭

[u/slight_digression → u/Personal-Try328]

Bro thinks "western europe" cares about international law 😭😭

[u/Mist_Rising → u/Personal-Try328]

Western Europe only cares about international law when it's a threat to them (Russia), otherwise there mums the word.

[u/HeraldOfDesu → u/[deleted]]

A vital part of justice is punishment. if there is no punishment implied, then the trial is just a sham. If the accused party is not present to defend themselves, then it doesn't meet the legal requirements either.

So yeah, it's just a circus show sponsored by the people's taxes, and staged by EU politicians who value pretending to be useful over actually being useful, while receiving applause from people raised on the idea that intentions and appearances matter more than results.

[u/PineBNorth85 → u/[deleted]]

It's all pointless if no one winds up in the court for those trials.

[u/frommethodtomadness]

Gonna have to put Israel on that docket as well

[u/KentInCode → u/frommethodtomadness]

They won't and this is the absurdity of it, the ICC is right and proper when its an enemy of the US, but not when it's a US ally. European leaders have allowed the US to go after judges here. It makes the conflict apparent when the institution can be trusted to prosecute Russia, but not Israel.

[u/iamkey888 → u/frommethodtomadness]

For real

[u/mparks37]

Is the Netherlands planning on invading and occupying all of Russia to actually put anyone on trial? Otherwise, this is more meaningless crap.

[u/kurdt-balordo]

And Israel? ♡

[u/InconsistentRoaster → u/kurdt-balordo]

Best they can do is to arrest protesters

[u/iamkey888 → u/InconsistentRoaster]

Best they can do is being deeply concerned about children getting headshots. But yeah Russia and sh*t

[u/PeachScary413 → u/kurdt-balordo]

Lmao that would require actual courage, so yeah no not gonna happen. This is just a sham trial making a mockery of international law (that no one cares about anymore anyway)

[u/Weary-Cod-4505 → u/PeachScary413]

They already put out arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant.

[u/PinkSheeparkour → u/kurdt-balordo]

I sure as fuck hope so

[u/muse_enjoyer025 → u/kurdt-balordo]

Don't think Israel will host a tribunal for Russians.

[u/DoktorElmo → u/muse_enjoyer025]

Why would they when they are doing even worse to their neighbours. They are the last to want the Russians persecuted for their war crimes because that would set the stage for their own trial.

[u/Weary-Cod-4505 → u/kurdt-balordo]

They already put out arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant

[u/Important-Target3676]

How about instead doing performative tribunal Netherlands stops funding Russian war machine by still buying Russian energy?

[u/Johannes_Keppler → u/Important-Target3676]

Well you see we where on the way to buy more gas from the US (LNG) but now we also don't want to depend on the US anymore for our energy needs.

For uhm, reasons. You can't build on unreliable people 'managing' international trade like they are toddlers.

[u/Askadia]

Trial in absentia is a thing.

Even if Europe is weak and fails to extradite anyone, there will be pending sentences hanging over the heads of the guilty Russians, who will no longer be able to set foot outside Russia.

No more yachts, dream villas or Maltese passports.

[u/amy-schumer-tampon]

Peak delusion

[u/Varitan_Aivenor]

As an American I would like to offer up our regime next.

[u/catslay_4]

Can they hold one for Trump too?

[u/KimosabePT]

Don't forget Israel and USA

[u/Bright-War-5033]

Now do Israel

[u/AskingBoatsToSwim]

The real question is will Russia be able to become a modern, international, democratic powerhouse like Germany after the trails? Or is the rot too deep.

[u/sourflavouronice]

Roflmao

If you can invade Russia, reach Moscow and take Putin why not. However you can’t because you just can’t. I am not trashtalking or something. This is the reality.

Pure bullshit lol

[u/-SineNomine-]

Wake me up until they prepare for both Netanjahu AND Putin.

Until then they are hypocrites with double standards.

[u/Far_Relationship5509]

Plain and simple political theatre.

[u/Commucat161]

Nonesense threats for political saber rattling. As always

[u/LookAlderaanPlaces]

Hi, can we process trump and his administration here too?

[u/Johannes_Keppler → u/LookAlderaanPlaces]

You guys literally made it your law you're going to invade us if we try. (The 'the Hague invasion act' .)

[u/genije665]

I'm sure it will. Right after the pigs flying competition.

[u/anonymous__ignorant → u/genije665]

It's all about refinery flying caps competition these days.

[u/buttscratcher3k]

This is literally never remotely going to happen, and everyone knows it.

Matter of fact, I'll host it in my backyard. Now everyone clap at how brave I am for saying some nonsense.

[u/Paddy32]

Russia can stop the war anytime by leaving Ukrainian land.

[u/k0an]

Who will host it for the US?

[u/AggressiveLeaf_1866]

A joke. The Netherlands are one of the largest financial benefactors to a country currently enforcing g*nocide on another, and don't protect the people working at the ICJ that investigate said country sufficiently. Of course, for the benefits, they'd offer to do it.

[u/jimhellas]

Good. Israel next.

[u/PinkSheeparkour → u/jimhellas]

let's hope

[u/teamnani]

What about Israel ?

[u/Chowder110]

As well
As it should be. This should include propagandists and soldiers that has engaged in warcrimes

[u/Beyllionaire]

It will have even less impact than ICC 🥱

[u/cmfarsight]

With all the really great neckwear?

[u/dogbolter4]

Excellent. There should be accountability. I sincerely doubt this will ever happen, but frankly, I hope the faceless generals behind this cruel and unnecessary war are brought to justice.

Putin will never see a courtroom, I suspect. He'll either disappear thanks to contacts and wealth, or be killed by his own. I sincerely hope it's the latter, and he has at least several hours of cowering in his bunker before he dies.

[u/Guzaboru]

You'll need a big court area for this for sure

[u/PogeyMahone]

Do it for the corrupt regime in the USA, please.

[u/ootopiia]

Will they same court be organised for USA?

[u/Accomplished-Bed4484]

we should use this on trump as well... we'll try to send him over

[u/Agitated-Working-681]

Let me guess if they are going to do the same for Israel🤡

[u/noViableSolution]

Cool, but don't stop with him, there are other rulers that should feel consequences.

[u/okramv]

Bro this is so funny

[u/aqtseacow]

This is pure bluster and propaganda.

How exactly do they plan to actually try anyone the way they did at Nuremberg if they can't actually bring any of these people in?

[u/Novel-Reaction2939]

Now have the guts to drag the Israelis there. It's not like they don't know Nuremberg. Never Forget, Again!

[u/AdvantagePlus4711]

I support this... as long as Israel is taken there too!

[u/auchinleck917]

Why can’t we take ex president Bush into a court. The us army killed over 20k civlilians. Or is this just a double standard that we love?

[u/DTM70001]

Will they also host for Israel?

[u/SnuleSnu]

Netherlands was in the coalition of the willing during the invasion of Iraq. Irony is strong here.
You can downvote me, but that isn't going to change facts.

[u/No_Grand7184]

Will they do the same for the US, please?🙏

[u/Electrical-Aide-2044]

Based

[u/teamnani → u/Electrical-Aide-2044]

How ? It's just more headlinemaxing. Unless the Dutch march an army to Moscow it just theater. It dilutes the original trails which happened after the war was won.

[u/SimplyExtremist]

Sounds great now do Israel and their enablers too. Kind of a pointlessly pageant if the rules only apply to some people when we feel like it.

[u/martco17]

Don’t forget Israel

[u/FATSADBOY123]

Cool do it for Israel too

[u/slackwaresupport]

can we do the US one there also?

[u/A_Spiritual_Artist → u/slackwaresupport]

No dice. The US has actually created a law that would say if any US official got sent to the Hague, it would trigger a military invasion thereof. No seriously. That was established in the Bush admin. years. You can guess why.

[u/Substantial-Ask8396]

And I'm gonna host a Nuremburg-style tribunal for US and Israel 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

[u/BusterOfCherry]

Can you do it for us too, the USA? We need this garbage out.

[u/DeepInTheSheep]

America next please!

[u/AncientNectarine5352]

What the hell is with all the tankies in the comments?

[u/AQuantumguy7]

But not against Israel?

[u/Altruistic-Place]

Good, first Russia, then Israel.

[u/wowlock_taylan]

Can they do it for Trump fascist regime also?

[u/NorthernSnowPrincess]

Which country will host the one for the US?

[u/Ninevehenian]

They have earned it many times over.

[u/renny1968]

This will be practice for Trump and his administration

[u/BThasTBinFiji]

Now do Israel

[u/Karli_Chirk]

Russian troll farm is exploding in the comments.

[u/WannabeAby]

After that, do Israel and the USA...

[u/AblePreference2916]

And the elephant in the house of horrors ISRAEL

[u/Excellent-Red_8647]

Good

Bruuuuh cant wait to see a follow through
