Eh. Shit like this is just political wordplay.
No one has ever been a nation leader and arrested in another country on charges before. Except for WW2 in the aftermath.
No Ugandan-born Muslim anti-zionist Democratic Socialist has ever been mayor of New York before either. A lack of precedent doesn't make either impossible no matter how many people used to think so.
After leaders have, what is his name from the Philippines duterte.
When it happens I'll change my words.
You'll change your stance that it can't happen because it has never happened when it has happened?
How brave! 🙄
Why do you think I'm trying to be brave? I'm simply saying if it happens I'll acknowledge it Why is that a bad thing for you?
My criticism was of you equating "hasn't happened" with "can't happen".
"Admitting" that you were wrong after the fact is useless in that context and insisting on your fallacy until then is WORSE than useless.
So you're just being an asshole. Got it.
They weren't though...?
Nope, that's you. I'm the one pointing it out.
I'm what way exactly? By pointing out something never happened? Please.
For the third and last time: by equating "hasn't happened" with "can't happen", thereby pissing in the cereal of anyone who wants to believe that Mamdani might actually be the real deal.
Reality does suck.
Again, "your pessimistic expectations" ≠ "inescapable reality".
Again. When has it happened before? Hm? Once?
Fuck it.
You're clearly either willfully obtuse or incapable of understanding a simple point no matter how many times I repeat and rephrase it, so I'll stop wasting my time on you.
Have the day you deserve.
So you're not able to provide any examples. Your just hoping.
That's not how life works.
I hope you have have a great weekend!
Holy shit, you're one of those no child left behind 6th grade average US reading level people, huh?
No. But believe whatever you want to make up.
You can't read for shit, that's been made obvious.
It's about the implications. Your response comes across as condescending.
To the less experienced, i guess it could.
It won’t happen but it could prevent him from setting foot there, which would be nice.
The fact that the leaders in question knows damn well which countries they will be arrested in probably have something to do with it. If Netanyahu is told he will be arrested if he comes to NY there's a really good chance that he will not come to NY.
He's already responded to this and said he'd come to NY with Trump.
Eh I'll believe it when i see it.
Are you seeing many people traveling to places where they have known arrest orders on them?
Considering that Netenyahu became so cocky because the whole world besides the houthis lwt him to anything he want he will probably go there
Are you seeing any national leader ever arrested overseas?
No, because the point is to tell them they're not welcome. Not being able to go to meetings in the UN in NY would be a big embarrassment for Israel or any other nation.
So if he doesn't show up, or he does and he's not arrested, and you'll still point at me as wrong somehow. Cuz it doesn't fit your tidy world view.
I disagree that barring a world leader from entering your jurisdiction is just political word play as you put it. I'm not sorry at all if that does not fit your world view.
Since he distanced himself from globalize the intifhadha i start to doubt that he would arrest Netenyahu
Lol ok kiddo
I want pizza. Anyone know a good pizza place?
No, you are not allowed pizza little man
(Sad face)
It's ok to cry 🤗
Lol isn't it funny how he's so chill about it. He said pizza. So cool.
