It’s pointless to use force. That would mean breaking all treaties with the Bahamas. Which would free the Bahamas to do things that are normally prohibited, like putting all the newly arrived immigrants on a boat and sailing them 50 miles right back to Florida.
Trump isn’t in charge of Bahamas. So if they say nobody gets off a plane in their airport, then nobody can get off the plane. The pilot can either sit in the cockpit forever or fly everyone home.
Trump can’t send people to the Bahamas without the goverment’s permission. They won’t be allowed off the plane, and eventually the plane has to return to the US.
Your screenshot is out of date.
Sorry, I thought you were being sarcastic.
Then we agree. It’s fine. Most countries don’t consider Palestine to be their problem, so performative bullshit is the most they can muster.
It sounds like your problem is with the OP, which says 146 countries engage in performative bullshit.
I care about accurately summarizing what the OP is about, and it’s about countries that recognize Palestine. It has nothing to do with countries that support or even care the slightest about Palestinians.
That treaty said that the US and Russia would not attack Ukraine. It did not say the US would defend Ukraine against an attack.
The US held up its end.
Recognition just means formally acknowledging that a government exists, it does not imply any sort of cooperation.
For instance, the US recognizes North Korea and Iran but doesn’t cooperate with them, quite the opposite.
Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic are not black or brown, not African, and not Muslim.
Every proposal regarding climate change involves numerous assumptions.
To roll it out to the levels needed would be far more difficult and expensive that converting our entire way of life to renewables
The cost of geoengineering solutions has been estimated to be less than $5b/yr, which includes R&D. In other words, this is something that the government of New York City (annual budget: >$100b) could easily do alone without any international support, even in the face of significant opposition.
In contrast, ending fossil fuel use requires significant international cooperation and is regularly stymied by opposing interests. NYC obviously cannot do it by itself.
So from a pragmatic perspective, geoengineering is definitely the easiest solution. In fact IMO the lack of progress on emission reduction makes it inevitable, at some point some country will weigh the risks of climate change and take matters into its own hands.

Honest question: has the USA or NATO ever attempted to invade the USSR or Russia?

LOL you really thought nobody was going to check the dates on those articles? Hmm, I wonder if anything happened in Palestine since last October.

crimes were carried out by the state
The same is true of others facing ICC charges. For example, Hamas leaders face ICC charges, but that does not justify sanctions against Palestine.
sanctions on Russia citing the ICC arrest
Sanctions against Russia couldn’t cite the ICC charges, because they began long before Putin was charged by the ICC.
the state of Israel is
Like the US and Russia, Israel is not a party to the Rome Statute.
ICC charges are directed at individuals, not entire countries. They wouldn’t justify sanctions for the same reason governments don’t sanction Saudi Arabia for being the home of bin Laden.
He wasn’t charged with any crimes by the ICC.
The subtitle is pretty good too.
