Interesting. Isn’t Nicaragua an extremely autocratic shitole?

Yes, because I wanted some context. If North Korea brought this case I’d take a similar double-take and ask questions.
Instead of downvoting me and being snarky how about you stick to saying the first part of your comment? The part I didn’t realise had changed? Perhaps build upon it by telling me how it changed recently cos I don’t fucking know!
It’s not, but I guess that’s the impression you’d get when you guzzle propaganda all day long.
I just remember whenever I look at maps of “Treaty Sinatories”, "UN Reolutions or “Progressive Movements Worldwide” then Nicaragua and North Korea tend to agree on most things.
I’ve not seen any “propaganda” one way or the other. Literally just my interpretation when looking at maps of the world and voting records.
Not really sure what point you’re trying to make with that. Both Nicaragua and DPRK are resisting US aggression, and thus have common interest.

Ah yes, the liberal US empire that murders people on the industrial scale is the bastion of morality, while people who resist it are AuThoRiTariAn. The only thing that’s clear is that you’re a morally bankrupt individual who runs around calling people slurs.
Look, I know you’re feeling a little dog piled here, so you’re probably going to dismiss this comment as more of that, but I really do just want to ask you to think very, very carefully about these words right here;
I’ve not seen any “propaganda” one way or the other.
Yes. Yes you have. That’s the point. Effective propaganda never openly labels itself as propaganda. That’s like me saying “I am trying to influence your decision.” You’re basically going to immediately refuse to do whatever I suggest. Smart propaganda disguises itself in a myriad of ways that can be extremely difficult recognize.
You are constantly being exposed to propaganda. Accepting that fact, and learning to look for and recognize it, is the first step in freeing yourself from its effects. Telling yourself that you’re not being affected by propaganda is like telling yourself that you don’t have a drinking problem.
My country, which has killed more people than any other geopolitical entity in human history and is ruled by a literal monarchy, is clearly free and egalitarian, unlike that horrific autocratic nightmare of…checks notes
…a tiny Central American nation that’s been routinely bombed and exploited for its entire existence.
Isn’t it illegal, by their own laws, for many of these countries mentioned to sell Israel military equipment, supplies, and ammunition due to the recent ICJ ruling? Not even international law, but their own civil laws. Which should open weapons manufacturers and their governments up to civil lawsuits. I know South African lawyers plan to file such lawsuits against the USA and UK.
The pressure must be kept up against Israel. Not a moment of relief. Genocide cannot be tolerated.
So far, ICJ only ruled that there is a plausible case for Israel committing genocide. Once the case is decided, and if ICJ does rule that Israel conducted a genocide, then it most certainly will open up both countries and individual entities that facilitated the genocide to prosecution. The pressure absolutely needs to be kept up on both Israel and the states supporting it. Israel cannot do this on their own, it’s the support for the west that makes the genocide possible.
Even if it’s only plausible, many countries have laws on the books preventing the sale of weapons to countries under suspicion of committing genocide. I know that the UK has such a law. UK arms export licensing Rule 2c states: licences must “not grant (licenses) if there is risk …of a violation of international humanitarian law”.
So already with the ICJ’s plausible ruling, many parties and countries open themselves up to lawsuits if they continue business with the Israeli military. Japan has stopped working with Israeli Elbit systems because of this, and it also led to the US pushing through their major arms deal with Israel, including 25 F-35 and 25 F-15 fighter jets, to be singed the day before the ICJ delivered their preliminary verdict.
I very much agree.
