Also, maybe it’s part of being" neutral", yet the future will tell where this (alleged of human rights abuses) tiktok president is going

" DW Asia-Pacific Bureau Chief Georg Matthes, however, is certain that Indonesia is still trying to remain non-aligned in international politics, despite the exercises with Russia.

“These trainings are quite important for Indonesian military, but it’s not something uncommon. They recently conducted a similar training with German naval vessels,” Matthes said, also mentioning the massive annual “Super Garuda Shield” exercises that Indonesia has conducted with the United States since 2006.

A better term would be “developing nations” . The term " third world" refers to not being part of NATO (or not aligned to NATO), and is outdated. Also, there are various sorts of developing countries, richer, poorer, and some are war or conflict zones.

And, I even wonder if anyone would be surprised by this news.

To be clear: “NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg announced on Monday that 23 of its 32 member states were expected to meet the alliance’s defense spending commitments this year. That is 13 countries more compared to last year’s data, and five more than an earlier estimate in February.”

The department said it made its finding based on the group’s history of violence rooted in “its openly racist, anti-immigrant, antisemitic, anti-LGBTQI+ platform”.

Various Latin American societies are increasingly feeling that it’s predominantly Beijing which has profited from the region’s economic relations with China, said Hauser. Therefore, he said, current criticism of China’s trade practices could become even more pronounced."

TLDR(Long article);

Now, an investigation by the Guardian and the Israeli-based magazines +972 and Local Call can reveal how Israel has run an almost decade-long secret “war” against the court. The country deployed its intelligence agencies to surveil, hack, pressure, smear and allegedly threaten senior ICC staff in an effort to derail the court’s inquiries.

Israeli intelligence captured the communications of numerous ICC officials, including Khan and his predecessor as prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, intercepting phone calls, messages, emails and documents.

The joint investigation draws on interviews with more than two dozen current and former Israeli intelligence officers and government officials, senior ICC figures, diplomats and lawyers familiar with the ICC case and Israel’s efforts to undermine it.

Unlike the international court of justice (ICJ), a UN body that deals with the legal responsibility of nation states, the ICC is a criminal court that prosecutes individuals, targeting those deemed most responsible for atrocities.

I don’t know, I don’t have that much confidence about them forming a proper coalition.

They’ve been saying stuff like this for half a year, and it’s been like the muppetshow. No offence for muppets btw.

And still whistleblowers are being sentenced, jailed, prosecuted by Gvements ( and sometimes killed)

I get the security thing, but war crimes and industrial crimes should be measured on another different scale altogether. Most of those guys should get a medal, imo. WTF?!

"A higher regional court in western Germany rejected on Monday an appeal by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party against its classification as a “suspected” far-right extremist organization.

The judges at the court in Münster said the designation was appropriate and did not violate the constitution or European law.

but expensive

Probably one of the reasons, other reasons could be ( geo?) complexity and the building (time)'of the whole unfrastructure. I haven’t digged very deep in this yet tbh.

geothermal

I would have expected that too. Always seemed a good sustainable additional solution to me.
