Yeah, I'm watching this as an American and it just seems profoundly stupid. Really? The court? The one that tries war crimes? That they weren't listening to anyway?

What a great opportunity to remind anyone that no matter how good the service, you shouldn't trust it because it's American. This doesn't exactly sell America's war adventurism either. I'm hopeful that the US acting out against this court it never listened to will wake some people up.

Something tells me the image of the ICC faxing things to people in the name of justice will stick. But they'll probably just use Proton Mail or something.

The idea that to serve on this court, you have to face sanctions, might scare away a lot of judges, but the ones who still choose to do it will know exactly what they're doing this for.

Isn't that what a Constitution's for? A law that prevents other laws.

The UN is in New York. So no, unfortunately, I don't think it's gonna happen. Even if it did, Trump would just pull out.

The other countries will have to make a new one if they want to agree on things. Call it something Trump won't want to join. Like the committee for free and open trade. And build it up from there. Claim humanitarian issues hinder trade. It's true.

It's why I stopped using Reddit. I couldn't take it anymore. Every thread about Israel was full of people pulling every trick in the book to defend genocide.

I was sick of it and make a sarcastic comment that we should "kill all Iranians" and got banned for three days. I've had enough.

This feels like a no true scotsman thing. I get it because I don't like "conservatism" either, but are we going to call Stalin a conservative?

But does "conservative" to you just mean violent, repressive, and pro-authoritarian?

I'm against all those things, and I think Stalin and Hitler have a lot in common despite Stalin being "left" and "Hitler" being right, but I dont see how it serves you to call everyone who acts violently and unjustifiably towards their people a conservative.

From my perspective, the hive is reflexively downvoting me for saying I used AI, without bothering to evaluate anything I said. It didn't come up with this on its own. It just pulled sources for me and raised points such as the diesel expert ban, which I was not aware of. I offered my own thoughts too.

AI will at least engage with my point. I've yet to hear anyone here, despite all these downvotes, interested in talking about the Russian diesel ban.

When you guys read from wherever you get your stuff, a lot of it is AI generated and you don't even know it. It's unavoidable, and it isn't my fault.

AI did not help me write this.

Tell me why I'm wrong then. And would my comment have gotten upvotes if I hadn't mentioned Claude?

Edit: Also, this is just rude. Judge the comment on its own terms. I told you where I got the idea from.

Edit 2: Who's laughing now? https://www.politico.com/news/2026/10/10/trump-zelenskyy-russia-ukraine-01115841

I asked Claude to explain the diesel thing, and I was also surprised to hear that Russia had banned diesel exports and just lifted the ban for this, so this was actually a favor to Trump.

Now why would he do that? Well you know how Trump is about other countries' oil. And he was already telling Ukraine not to hit the factories before. Trump doesn't seem to care or understand how much diesel exactly is coming from Russia. He just knows Zelenskyy's blowing up "his" oil now.

I wonder if they're really that stupid. But why wouldn't they be? If I'm wrong, it's not because I underestimated them. I just must've missed something.
