⚡The U.S. Navy says its future Trump-class battleships will now be nuclear-powered — a major shift that could greatly increase both capability and cost.

The Navy plans to build 15 ships between 2028 and 2055, with each estimated to cost around $17 billion — more expensive than a Ford-class aircraft carrier.

MooMoo people!

These people are TOO STEWPID.

The same ICJ that has made MULTIPLE rulings against the GENOCIDAL state of ILLsrael that NOBODY enforced.

Are they the same ICJ that'd STOP the US.

These people have to be the MOST FOHOOLISH people to have EVER walked the earth.

They are even still using Uranium Enrichment as a THREAT.

Something that should be a GIVEN.

If they DON'T have the capacity to develop NUKES and none of their so-called allies are ready to ASSIST, they SHOULDN'T be using it as a threat.

They should just SURRENDER now and live like American/ILLsraeli SLAVES like the rest of their neighbours.

At least, CIVILIANS would be saved.

it is instinctual to mock this court case

but they started this with the court case against russia
that led to putin's icc warrant
of course the global south followed that with the genocide case that led to satanyahu's icc warrant
that of course eventually f*cked with the icc as an institution because of the us sanctions

it is time to do the same to the icj

multi polarism only started picking steam in the 2010s
in the interim period between the fall of the soviet union and the 2010s, we were in a firm unipolar world
where the us could do no wrong

even beyond this post-modernist era
this is one of the few acts of aggression where the victim survived and is stable enough in the aftermath to pursue legal recourse
in iraq, saddam fell
in afghanistan, the taliban do not want to relitigate
in venezuela, delcy does not want to follow this route
in libya, there was a un resolution
in vietnam, the north did not want to relitigate

am i missing any out

iran is unique in that the government survived
there is no favorable resolution yet

i don't mind the legal proceedings
it takes nothing away from their military defense

in fact, we will need the precedence for the axis
because you can bet that if china moves on taiwan or philippines
they will bring up a court case in addition to whatever else they push back with

they cannot bring a court case against russia over ukraine and expect the axis to fold their hands in iran

the deputy foreign minister of norway traveled to tehran
and met with araghchi today

norway is a huge oil exporter and the increased oil price favors them
so i'm not sure why they are going to tehran in person

they are very likely playing the role of an emissary
unsure who they are representing

the traditional european emissary to iran has been switzerland
spain probably has the most political capital of any european nation in tehran
norway is not an unusual choice, but there would need to be more clarity

GREAT explanation!
Thanks!

Although, I'd argue that both the ICC and ICJ have been well and thoroughly WRECKED by how they ALL refused to enforce judgements against Netanyahu and ILLsrael.

EVERYBODY already knows they are a JOKE.

Iran's newly filed case seems like NEEDLESS theatre.

⚡According to a report by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, the Kh-101 cruise missile has undergone four modernizations so far.

These include: the missile received a tandem warhead (reinforced explosive charge), an active self-defense system including flare dispensers and a decoy generation system—and finally, mid-flight retargeting and guidance control capabilities.
