There will be a steep increase in demand in China for the $5 highly integrated 2G modules that were becoming useless because of 2G phase-out, due to everything being exported to the US having one attached to be classified as a mobile phone for Tariff purposes.

If that's your take on my words, you either haven't read my other comments here or you're just another mindless tribalist clapping at anything that aligns with you views without even the slightest bit of analysis and viewing the world as "if you're not with us, you're against us", just like the MAGA crowd does.

The UK is the worst possible country to make such a suggestion because their actual actions in other, similar situations happening right now, are the very opposite of the principles they claim to want to uphold here - the people with fresh children's blood on their hands aren't the ones best suited to convince the World of the need for Justice.

The British politicians are de facto worsening the chances for Justice for Ukrainians (not even just Palestinians, whom they're actually helping murder in large numbers) because the leaders and even the people in most nations in the World do not believe their haughty words demanding "Justice" while their hands are dripping with the blood of innocents, are anything other than a geopolitical powerplay and propaganda: they're making it less likely that the World outside the West gets together with the West to make sure Putin and his cronies get the punishment they deserve.

This New Nuremberg idea would be far more likely to succeed if this suggestion came from a country like Spain or the Republic Of Ireland who have been Fair and Just in the matter of Genocide, and not involve Britain in any way form or shape, than coming from or involving Britain, where the concept of "Justice" is so flexible that the race of the Genociders and their victims means that the "We must have a trial like Nuremberg" (which, by the way, should be done for both cases) is only for some Genocides whilst "We must continue to ship weapons [to the Genociders]" is for other Genociders, depending on the ethnicity of them and their victims.

You are the one supporting the people who for petty political propaganda gains just had to go and parade themselves as the voice of the Justice Of The West whilst their actions say the very opposite, thus damaging things like International Rule Of Law and the West's voice on this by entrenching the idea that the reactions of the West are all hypocrisy (which they're not in many Western countries, but definitely are in Britain).

Only somebody motivated by British Nationalism and/or deeply brainwashed by the Press Environment in Britain (which is as bad as in the US) would think the UK is in any way form or shape a trusted spokesperson for the rest of the World on International Law and Justice Against Genociders, and that their hypocrite proclamations on this would inspire the World to come together for Justice and advance that cause.

Like a run of the mill sociopaths, for petty political point scoring and for the sake of doing a bit of a "we matter in the World" performance for internal consumption, these assholes are damaging the very thing they claim to defend.

If British politicians really wanted this that they're now suggesting to happen, they would've had some backroom discussions with other Western nations and gotten a more trustworthy country (which is not right now actively supporting a different Genocide) to voice this suggestion, only they didn't because this was never about Justice against Genociders or Humanitarianism.

The funny bit is that I don't at all disagree with the idea of an international independent special court for the crimes of Russia in Ukraine.

I just think the UK shouldn't be involved in it in any way form or shape, because for anybody who hasn't been living in the middle of the British Propaganda environment (or pro-Zionist propaganda like in the US) British Governments are painfully double-faced.

This idea coming from the Spaniards or the Irish would be great and far more likely to be taken seriously by stakeholders worldwide because at least those two can't be accused of having different standards for different combinations of Genociders and victims.

By making this statement, likely for local political propaganda purposes (both to help shore-up support on their Left for what is a pretty Rightwing New Labour Government and for the usual "See, Britain is an important player in the world!" political performance so common there) the British Government might have just made such a thing less likely to happen rather than more.

What really reveals your true colors there is how, after all your talk about your own supposedly humanitarianism and good deeds and your 100%-Projection statements on my motivations, you end with an "whatabout Hamas".

This from the very same person who, in another thread under this same post, responded to my pointing out the hypocrisy of the British Government with

"Whataboutism".

Your "I'm a good guy" right alongside when it comes to Israel a "but HAMAS" is pretty much the hypocritical propaganda of the British Government whose critique of which by me prompted your flurry of responses.

It's not concern for innocents being murdered or abhorence for Genocide that motivates you - if it was you wouldn't be looking for ways to excuse some of the Genociders and treat their victims (far more in number than those of the other Genociders) as less important as if some lives were less important than others.

Thank you.

I confess I had a extra angry knee-jerk reaction since I lived over a decade in the UK and during that time the whole relentless abused of this kind of forked-tongue hypocrisy in local politics really climbed to be one of the things I most detest - it's a sneaky slimy way of using discourse for personal gain that often indirectly harms those one loudly claims to be defending: a form of sociopathy but not of the violent kind.

Russias killed far more than 12k, its well recorded there are mass graves in places such as Mariupol with a unknown number of bodies. The UN itself has specifically verified at least 30k and given the numbers of missing persons its likely to be in the hundreds of thousands.

Stop regurgitating Russian propaganda numbers.

https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/02/1146842

From your own link, under "Millions displaced, thousands dead": "30,457 civilian casualties since 24 February 2022, including 10,582 killed and 19,875 injured" (emphasys mine).

I actually used a larger number I found in a different website (but I lost the link for that) because that latter article was from a later date and had the numbers for 3 years of war.

Apparently and in your own words, the UN is "regurgitating Russian propaganda numbers".

Whatever motivates you to post this, it ain't a need for Justice or an abhorrence for the murder of civilians.

I believe that a real, strong and fair International Rule Of Law would help Palestine and that the two-weights-two-measures kind of Propaganda used of performative "International Rule Of Law" detracts from it Globally being real, strong and fair.

I don't think a performative demand for "Justice except if the perps are our mates" from the most hypocrite country leadership around will advance the cause of International Rule Of Law even when it comes to the Russian invasion of Ukraine because it just reinforces the impression outside the West that the "Justice" of the West isn't really Just or even honest - it's a great way to (as is it's only real objective) to get kudos from a certain crowd that abhors what Russia is doing whilst not having a tendency to look beyond the superficial in a skeptical way for even the words one agrees with, but comes with the secondary side effect that people in all those nations out there which are not aligned in this specific subject just become more suspicious of Western words and motivations and hence less likely to cooperate.

Such performative statements for local political gains neither advances the cause of Global Humanitarianism nor the cause of International Rule of Law, probably the opposite.

Such idea would much better be voiced by a different country (say, Spain), not one practicing the very opposite of what it preaches and with quite a long tradition of being double-faced.

Look mate

• "Russia bad and Israel bad" would be the Principled, Humanitarian stance.
• "Russia bad" whilst not only these people do not deem Israel bad, but they're actually sending weapons used to murder civilians in Gaza, is just Propaganda. It's not a principled stance, it's like Greenwash but for Humanitarianism: using the words of Humanitarianism on the things were it happens to align with your goals whilst doing the very opposite when it doesn't.

This kind of performative "Humanitarianism" and "International Rule Of Law" actions (hardly a monopoly of the Brits but, damn, they're some of the biggest practitioners of the whole thing) heavy on the is what reinforces outside the West the impression that the words of Western leaders are bullshit and cannot be trusted.

This kind of haughty proclamations but only applying some not others, actually weakens the principle of International Rule Of Law and overall makes it less likely that Justice in such affairs actually happens.

Israel kills more civilians in Gaza in two ~~a~~ days than Russia kills in Ukraine in a month.

(Edit: checked the numbers and in 3 years Russia had killed 12,605 civilians whilst the last reliable numbers we had in Gaza - before the hospitals were destroyed - for the first 6 months in Gaza were 42,000, so the rate of civilians murdered per day by Israel is about 20x higher, so not quite "more in a day than in a month", hence my edit)

You need one of those even more for Israel, but the British political elites are active and willing accomplices in that specific Genocide.

One rule for some, another for others...

Hypocrisy is very much the core trait of the British upper classes.

He's going to end up in the History books with roughly the same level of infamy as Nero.
