nope, there were strikes during Assad's regime.

They were targeting Iranian proxies in Syria.
So Iranian proxies = Assad??

Did the Iranian proxies have Su-57?

Fly your SU-57 within the range of the patriot na??😂

You have a million dollar SU-57, yet you can't achieve air superiority against a foe still using f16s😂😂😂😂😂

You have a SU-57 yet you are wasting 3 million per rocket to target air-defences, that a simple air-ground missiles from the supposedly best aircraft in the world the SU-57 can easily destroy.


😂😂😂😂

Since you prefer technicalities, pls make a case for the "little assistance" they've provided to the ICC in the past, since it doesn't align with these "technicalities", abi those are also my "willful thinking"? grin

Oga, that is at the discretion of US. [b]Who are you to determine the morality or otherwise of their course of action. And why did you cut your screenshot at the part saying "US actions undermining ICC regarding Africa. We would love to see what's written there.[/b]
Lol! Of course.
But the discrepancy in their "course of action" is the object of mockery here. grin

And the edited part is irrelevant to my point, but since you asked for it... Fine.

What case?? The US have the discretion like another country that are not members of the ICC to provide any form of assistance to the ICC, if she wishes to, it is called freewill!!, they are not mandatory nor under legal jurisdiction to do so


A good example is the US sharing their own evidences about Russia crime in Ukraine to the ICC

There's no law that stops the US from providing assistance as she deem fit to the ICC

P.s Those assistance would have to fall under the laws of the US government

Let me ask our Special Envoy on Iran, LordAdam16.

Did Israel use F-35's to carry out combat missions in Iran?
Yes.

The IDF exercised caution in the 12D war.

SAED was performed by infiltrators.
Manned platforms were only used in limited corridors where they were certain coverage lapses could not be closed.
As the war progressed and Iran recovered its defense capabilities, the IDF attrited their drone inventory to suss out safe and unsafe airspaces.

Ultimately, the successful infiltration of Iran offered an immense degree of flexibility.
The war would have progressed very differently without that opsec disaster.
Iraq shot down US jets in the 90s. The US lost 63 fixed-wing aircrafts in the Gulf War. The number is higher because of the lack of drones.
Without the infiltration, the IDF would have had to lose a couple of old frames to suppress ADs.

The first question the Iranian generals would have in the great beyond is "wtf happened to the ADs"
That was the source of their confidence.
You cannot conduct a sneak traditional SAED mission after the last attack.
Think back to the penultimate attack. Where Israel had to massively limit its attack plans after confronted by active ADs.
They went back to the drawing board to take them out by infiltration.
Ideally, the ADs should have slowed Israel. The initial missile response would have wrecked Israel and further constrained their ability to send jets to conduct more SAED missions (since they'd be needing those for defense). Essentially creating a negative feedback loop.

Russia’s Krasukha Electronic Warfare Systems Spotted in Iran

Moscow’s delivery of the Krasukha EW system to Tehran signals a major escalation in the region’s electronic warfare landscape, with far-reaching implications for Israel, the Gulf, and U.S. Central Command.
Na make them close the security holes.
If Russia has started deliveries, then China has as well.

During the war, some of the first planes from China contained communications equipment to replace potentially compromised systems.

Alright, your point is duly noted.

I could drag the argument further by quoting dozens of instances where the US leaders have flouted their own laws, not to talk of international laws... Let's not even start about technical ways they could bypass or find a loophole in this law. And how y'all will still come here and defend it. Abi no be US again? grin cheesy
But again, your points are duly noted.

After the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, in Dallas.
He was shot in a slow-moving open-top motorcade, this changed global leaders' security teams to adopt faster convoys to minimise sniper risks.
The convoys become more powerful and heavier

Now, show me a single discrepancy!!!!
You are only imagining things because of your perceived hatred for African leaders by the US.
Till this very moment, the US has not handed over a single African leader over to the ICC for prosecution. What now makes you think they will do it if it was in the circumstances of Pootin ( I mean an agreement to come to US soil to settle matters of war).

Now, kindly start quoting those dozens of instances .....I will be waiting...
Based on your comments, you sound like someone who knows something about law. If yes, then you shouldn't be the one talking about technical ways again. That is how the law operates. It has always been about technicality in every single country. So, I wouldn't understand why you are particular about the US if not concealed malice.

You're just jumping around in circles. Your answers are never consistent and are in many cases, contradictory. It's your pattern anyway, so I'm not surprised.

And how did you verify maybe it is true or not? Are you expecting a president that will have the best health care in the whole of Russia to die suddenly?
More than 80% of people diagnosed with cancer live up to 10 years or more when they have adequate care.
I ask again, are you expecting Pooting to have died even if he truly has cancer? Learn how to make convincing arguments please, not just some copy and paste you see online. You are getting nauseating!!!!
