I will never understand why some people always talk before they think

Didn't see your reply.
People can be deliberately ignorant.

If not for madness, I will never understand why some people will use the same so called western media to justify their own position when it spews narratives that suit them and condemn it when it doesn't support Russia and Palestine.
Ewuuuuuu.

So have you agreed it's not fake news?

The Hague Invasion Act is a nickname given to the American Service-Members’ Protection Act (ASPA), a U.S. law enacted in 2002. This legislation was designed to protect U.S. military personnel and other officials from being prosecuted by the International Criminal Court (ICC), which is based in The Hague, Netherlands.

Key Provisions

1. Prohibition on Cooperation:

The law restricts U.S. government cooperation with the ICC, including financial support, intelligence sharing, or extraditing U.S. citizens to the court.



2. Immunity for U.S. Nationals:

It explicitly aims to prevent U.S. nationals (such as service members, government officials, or other citizens) from being prosecuted by the ICC.



3. Military Action Authorization:

The controversial nickname, "Hague Invasion Act," comes from a provision in the ASPA that authorizes the U.S. President to use "all means necessary" to secure the release of U.S. personnel detained by or on behalf of the ICC. Critics interpreted this as permitting a military invasion of The Hague, though such an action is highly unlikely in practice.



4. Sanctions Against Supporters of ICC Prosecution:

The act also allows sanctions against countries or entities that cooperate with the ICC in ways that could lead to actions against U.S. citizens.




Context and Controversy

The ASPA reflects U.S. concerns about the ICC's potential to prosecute its citizens for political or unsubstantiated reasons. The U.S. has historically been cautious about international legal bodies that might compromise its sovereignty.

Critics argue the act undermines international justice, particularly in cases of war crimes or crimes against humanity, by exempting U.S. citizens from accountability.


While the term "Hague Invasion Act" is a hyperbolic nickname, it captures the contentious nature of the U.S.'s stance on the ICC and its insistence on protecting its nationals from foreign judicial systems.

Scamerica.
Leader and promoter of the rule-based order.

⚡Maria Zakharova:

“Estonia may close 13 out of its 38 embassies worldwide—nearly a third—in order to save money.

However, the Estonian Foreign Minister opposes the move, stating: “Closing embassies will not lead to significant savings in the state budget, but the image losses will be enormous.”

Here, he is mistaken: the image losses are already enormous due to the very “activities” of these embassies. They serve no real purpose. Estonia simply has no foreign policy beyond the Brussels-Washington general line. Its cultural identity has dissolved in the murky waters of liberal values. Prospects for establishing stable trade and economic ties are virtually nonexistent.

The absurdity of the situation reaches new heights when you consider the fact that Estonia has the funds to aid the Kyiv regime in the name of protecting “European values,” yet cannot afford to maintain 13 of its own embassies. A circus, to say the least.

Here’s a free piece of advice (it won’t impact the Estonian budget): for these isolated penny-pinchers, Tallinn should demand funds for its embassies from NATO, since the only purpose of their existence is to propagate Alliance narratives.”

Dis Maria babe get bad mouth in a good way.
