{PROVISIONAL: }3:52 For starters, focusing specifically on the State parties that voted against the Statute does not convey the bigger picture at Best, and misleads your viewers at worst. One has to also look at abstentions and yes, even the signatories which are yet to ratify it. For instance, 2 of the parties pinpointed here _viz._ State of Is'rāel & the United States of America, _et al._ later went on to signing the Statute by the end of calendar-year 2000 anyways: But both of them similarly made it clear within the maximum of 2 years that they do not intend to ratify it anymore, for ever. And the other 2 who signed on it the very same year, Russia( more relevant to this topic) & Sudan conveyed within the maximum of 16+ years( 2+ years after annexing Crimea, to be precise) and 8 years, respectively - made their decisions clear that they would never ratify it. Similarly, there are far too many other countries, most of whom signed in the very calendar-year - including but not limited to, members of the GCC &/or Arab League, have yet to make their decisions clear as they enjoy the strategic-ambiguity that it grants them. So you see.. It's not as simple as "agreeing" or "rejecting" the enactment of a supranational Treaty dubbed as "Statute" which threatens the modern world-order in the aftermath of few-centuries old Treaty of Westphalia which turns Statism into neo-religion where the State has unconditional Monopoly on Violence and there is no Authority greater than the State in and of itself whatsoever, who can keep "It" in check.( Statecraft 101)

The Iraq war is said to have resulted in 1 million deaths the difference is russia have weapons of mass destruction A message to the future generations never make russia feel threatened the difference between "looking dangerous" and "being dangerous".Russia describes military doctrine as defensive military doctrine. With regard to nuclear weapons specifically, Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons: in response to the use of nuclear and other types of weapons of mass destruction against it or its allies,in case of aggression against Russia with the use of conventional weapons when the very existence of the state is threatened Russia has the World's Largest Bomber As of 2022, the Federation of American Scientists estimates that Russia possesses 5,977 nuclear weapons, while the United States has 5,428; Russia and the U.S. each have about 1,600 active deployed strategic nuclear warheads. Russia has the most nuclear weapons of any country, at 6,257. Of these, 1,458 are active, meaning they are already deployed, 3,039 are available (can be deployed if needed) and 1,760 are retired (out of use and awaiting dismantlement How do Russian nuclear weapons compare to the rest of the world?

The largest nuclear weapon ever set off, it produced the most powerful human-made explosion ever recorded. Russia's Tsar bomba: World's most powerful nuclear weapon of mass destruction. The Tsar bomba exploded about 4 km above the ground and reportedly produced a mushroom cloud 60 km high However, the Soviet Union developed three AN602 physics packages at 101.5 megatons (Mt) and these are more powerful than the Tsar Bomba, which was downscaled to 51 Mt before being used RDS-220 Vanya. it was modified to yield 50 megatons, which was estimated to be about 3,800 times the strength of the U.S. bomb dropped on Hiroshima during World War II The declassified study from the scientists at the Los Alamos laboratory, published in 1947 had first shed light on the question that how many nuclear bombs it would take to destroy the world. According to the study, it would take about ten to a hundred 'super nukes' to end humanity plus see this NATO attack: 14,500 have died in Libya 165,000 have died in Afghanistan 224,000 have died in Syria 1,200,000 killed in Iraq It did not shock anyone. None of these countries received approval. Russia's killing of 200 Ukrainian troops came as a shock. Human pain overflowed.

The reverse isn't true. The USA pays almost a quarter of the funds the UN receives from member nations. And of course, once the US was kicked out other nations would have to decide if they wanted to stay in the UN, or stay friendly with the USA. Guess what every NATO country would choose?

Ukraine still has the blood of Poles on its hands, which it refuses to wash off, by praising the very murderers who committed such atrocities. Ukraine hasn't gotten over it yet. Hence why the Ukrainian parliament declared Bandera's birthday a national holiday, praises the OUN as war heroes and the government banned the Polish War film "Wolyn" or "Hatred" in english. You should know that most Ukrainians in the West of Ukraine do not ignore their heroes, in fact the worst of their heroes are praised by half of the population there - there are polls to prove it conducted by Ukrainian organizations. There are great statues in the center of some cities to honor Stepan Bandera. They have their own version of what happened and become aggressive when their formulated perspective is challenged. Some of them HATE Russians with burning passion, while most simply strongly dislike them. Hate for Russians is a tolerated view within society. And yet.. in the Eastern part of the same country.. it is almost all ethnic Russians. Could anybody honestly have a discussion with Ukrainians about their country's Fascist and Neo Nazi problem without a "WHAT ABOUT RUSSIA" nonsense? Everytime I hear that it sounds like Ukraine is justifying the horrific mass killings of Poles because "MUH HOLODOMOR". The Ukrainians must face up to their past and completely separate themselves from the Nazi ideology, which unfortunately is not the case. Today it supports more than half of Ukrainians. In this situation, I do not see a chance for normal relations between Poland and Ukraine. Nor do I see a positive and inclusive future in Ukraine for foreigners and outsiders. Ukraine seems to be heading towards a very dark and bleak path. Just as Ukrainian Nationalism during World War 2 led to hundreds of thousands of Poles being slaughtered in the most horrifying ways that even the Nazis themselves were traumatized by the brutality. It seems like another genocide is imminent maybe during or after the war against Roma people, ethnic Russians, or even just "foreigners" in general. Ukraine could end up like Turkey another country that denies genocides. Turkey is pretty much a Fascist country and I see Ukraine heading in the same direction if it continues white washing its own history and celebrating some of the worst war criminals and monsters in human history that would make even Stalin and Beria weep in horror. If Ukraine was a true democracy they would not only show the Polish war film "Wolyn" which depicts the Ukrainian barbaric genocide of Poles during World War 2 to all theaters within Ukraine, they would embrace the film and talk about its dark history like Germany does with the Holocaust and World War 2 and reconcile with Poland, apologizing and removing everything glorifying Ukrainian war criminals and mass murderers. Even Japan allow films like "City of Life and Death" and "John Rabe" which depict the Nanking Massacre to be shown within their country. Why can't Ukraine do the same instead of denying its own atrocities and genocides like Turkey does with the Armenian genocide? Turkey has been genociding the Kurds because it did not learn from its history. Ukrainian far right militias like Azov have been engaging in atrocities against ethnic Russians in Donbas for over 8 years because they did not learn from their history. I don't even have to point out true democracies like Japan and Germany to make my point. I can literally point out China which is run by an authoritarian Government that would make Orwell blush teaches its own citizens about how bad the Cultural Revolution and the Great Leap Forward were mostly horrible mistakes. EVEN CHINA HAS MORE INTEGRITY THAN UKRAINE WHEN CONFRONTING THEIR OWN PAST AND HISTORY! Films about the consequences of the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution are allowed in China.

That's a very noble sentiment, but naive. First of all, the ICC is as prone to corruption as any other human institution. Worse, they aren't elected by the people they represent. They are unelected bureaucrats claiming to have world spanning authority. Their ineffectiveness is the only reason their corruption hasn't caused more harm. They are actually talking about adding crimes against the climate to their authority. That way they can try and punish any nation, corporation, or individual that emits more carbon than THEY say is acceptable. Second, law enforcement is only as effective as the force it can bring to bear. The ICC has no military of its own. It relies on help from the militaries of its member states. None of them want to go up against the USA, China, Israel, Pakistan, Russia, or India, all of whom reject ICC authority, and all of whom have nukes. You can't make a nation abide by a treaty it didn't sign unless you are willing to use military power to force them. Finally, more than half the world's population belongs to nations that do not recognize the ICC. That puts the ICC in the minority, so they shouldn't be trying to force their rules on the majority.
