Brazil’s Supreme Court ruled on Monday that foreign legislation did not have jurisdiction in its country, after the United States used a law to sanction a judge on the court.
And yet nothing will ever stop Americans from coming into other nations’ subs and citing amendments that we don’t have.
Doh, but it needed to be said, yes
Good. Everyone should state this.
The basic concept of sovereignty makes this pretty clear. Its a sad day when we have to point out that the sky is, in fact, still blue
It’s just for show. It also means BRICS is a thing. The US is finished. Now, can someone point me to cheap land in North Carolina?
But Russian law is apparently applicable in the United States…
Yeah. That’s how being a puppet state works.
Is there a name for your condition? Any treatment possible you think?
Lol
Please name a Russian law applicable in the United States?
Also see: the ICC. Also see: The Hague Invasion Act.
Countries apply, well, ONE country, laws outside themselves all the fucking time.
I’m not sure why you took them literally. They’re making a tongue-in-cheek statement about how Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is able to manipulate the American president seemingly with ease and impunity.
lol why would they? But then again, Americans are the only country who fly their drones over your country, and use your country as a battlefield and then go home. They’re the world police. They would shit themselves if another country used the us mainland as a battlefield and had foreign drones flying around.
They’re too used to thinking they own the planet
Uh… The Russia? Isn’t that country doing the same in a much bigger scale, even?
The Russia is doing it on a far smaller scale. The US does it so often it’s boring.
See: how many military bases the US has around the world. See also: how Hawai’i became a state. But The Russia bad.
A far smaller scale? Show me where USA has ever done something like what the Russia has done in Groznyi, Aleppo, Mariupol and Bakhmut?
When was the last time USA spent a night sending several hundred drones aimed at civilian homes? And when was the last time the Russia did not do just that?
What about the Kakhovka dam? When was the last time USA caused such devastation anywhwere at all?
I mean, I’ve been in several demonstrations against many wars waged by the US, and I most likely will attend many more, and I stopped buying US-made products when the Iraq war began. But come on, what the Russia is doing is in a whole other league compared with USA.
And of course I know about Hawaii. Just blatantly overthrowing a country’s leadership and taking over it in such modern times is apalling. But have you ever heard of Siberia? Did you know that it is nowadays a part of the Russian Federation? Ever read of that? And then, if you look at Mali, South Sudan, Belarus, Libya, Kazakhstan, and Syria, the amount of pain and horror caused for the locals because of Russian meddling in their countries has been huge. Yeah, regarding that, USA is doing very similar shit, but they do at least cause less destruction than the Russia does when doing the same.
And USA has Guantanamo, but the Russuahas twenty of those.
The issue with the US is they use other countries as bases for their drone war.
Why is that a relevant difference?
No no, Brazil, you’re failing to understand how hegemony works. You see, we aren’t colonizing you, you’re independent. No imperialism here. But if you do something we don’t like…well, let’s just say you should do what we like.
Because of the implication.
are these sovereign nations in danger?
Why did this even need a ruling?
So no one tries to pull a smart one.
Or a dumb one. Those can be even more dangerous.
Alright I’m confused, how did sovereignty not already prevent this?
The Americans currently in charge needed it turned into a picture book with words less than 5 letters to understand.
It’s great showmanship. It’s a lot of festive noise and music to point fun at the dying empire.
JFC Canada needs this - badly.
Then we’d still have a home grown defense industry with Avro Arrows in museums and not wrecking yards.
But hey, now is a uniquely unique time in history, never before have we seen such things.
With a federal government so much in thrall to private corporations - we’re not gonna see anything truly Canadian materialize.
How could that even go to the supreme court?
According to the Constitution of Brazil, foreign court decisions “can only be enforced in Brazil upon approval or in compliance with international judicial cooperation mechanisms,” the court said.
Seems there is a mechanism for it. Probably to work with the international court of justice or something?
Treaties in general that Brazil is a signatary of. The ones that legislate human rights are ranked as high as the constitution.
Too bad the US is not a signatory to great many of those treaties.
Aparently they thought US law applied in other countries, so you can see why they were confused
Well, it’s the correct court to judge it.
Or you meant “how come someone even though the opposite?”
I don’t have an answer for that. There’s that guy that got a powerful position in some other country that keeps ordering that people do those nonsensical stuff, and I can’t really understand where he takes his ideas from.
Alright everyone time to move server domains 🏴☠️🏴☠️
usfefaultism smh! /s
I do not know what you have against fees. People need to pay rent. Even Americans.
