ICC Issues Arrest Warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant Over Alleged War Crimes
I never thought the ICTY would get anyone but minor thuggish foot soldiers. I was wrong. 68% of those convicted were Serbian, so the court also convicted people from the sides that had the broad support of the international community, but the split probably reflects which of the sides was responsible for the greatest number of war crimes and atrocities.dictor Any court can issue an international arrest warrant. The precedent was set by a Spanish judge and Pinochet. The Chilean dictator's troubles didn't start with an international court, it started with a Spanish judge who understood the principle of universal jurisdiction. The United States famously states US law knows no boundaries, and criminals globally are subject to US justice. This was established from the very early days of the Republic, when the nascent country refused to payoff the Barbary Pirates, enshrined in the famous USM corps song. In retrospect, during Pinochet's end-of-life, the UK and US governments behaved disgracefully, preferring strategic relationships over principle. The world would not have imploded if Pinochet had ended up in a prison-old peoples' home for murderous dictators. The reactions from some people indicate how politicised they want to make the courts. This started, maybe before, before that tabloid labeled British judges an "Enemies of the People" over a question of Parliamentary procedure and Brexit. Americans are very used to judges being elected officials, which makes them, almost by definition, to be more likely to be corrupt, and more interested in seeking votes rather than the correct application of the Law. -

Tour around a Chiangmai Housing Estate
Theives are usually in your head. Even if you do get some riff raff it's not worth the expenditure in security in my opinion to have manned posts and a guarded compound that feels like you are entering a "facility". It's overkill. The community fees include a lot of other items... Gym, Pool, Gardening etc.. Thus: in a 100 House Moobaan... we're paying about 600 baht per month for security... Opportunistic crime is an issue in Thailand.. Wife's Parents had a holiday home outside of Bangkok (it wasn't in a moobaan) - they had a full time maid, who just had to keep and stay there so the house was ready whenever they or we wanted to turn up - even though she was paid well she was bored and quit... Within 6 months the house was gutted. We travel a lot - often away for a month in the summer - for 600 baht per month, thats a great deal. We dont need to worry about the car, our motorcycle - its in outside storage - decent bicycles, golf clubs, skiis etc. I would not live in a house in Thailand without security... -

Europe Braces for Escalation: Germany Mobilizes NATO Troops Amid Putin's Nuclear Threats
Again you fail to answer my question. The conclusion therefore is you can't, you won't or your not smart enough to do so. One more time. What do you think is going to happen in the next two months and why? I was very civil before but as we all know civility isn't one of your strong points. -

Europe Braces for Escalation: Germany Mobilizes NATO Troops Amid Putin's Nuclear Threats
They are being issued with Russian kit, which means they have joined the Russian armed forces. Which is an ESCALATION... The West is supplying weapons, no troops. The Russians supply weapons to many, mostly undesirables...
