    The UN is run by America but for other people not the Americans.

    Same as extradition and breaking laws of another country even though it doesn’t break any laws they are in.

    Sure US have allowed countries to punish their citizens but only when that outcome is also in their interest.

    The whole UN war on drugs thing started in America to solve an American problem.

      And yet the International Criminal Court is fine, right? Despite it only going after POC from ex-European colonies.

      This whole idea that you can commit any crime you want: if it crosses borders, if it is a crime against humanity, if it occurred in a country that it happened in is a failed state and could never prosecute the person, or if it happened at sea doesn’t work and never will work. Governments have a right to go after people outside their borders in specific situations and without that right the world is full of pirates, genocidal warlords, international cartels, Russian paid shills, etc.

      Don’t like it? Don’t commit genocide and you are highly highly unlikely to have an issue.

        So by your logic, was the U.S in the right to extradite Julian Assange on espionage charges in spite of him being an Australian citizen living in his own country?

        If so, what about Benjamin Netanyahu? Would the US try to extradite him from Israel if he gets indicted for his genocide in the US?

        Yet American can kill citizens of Western countries in those countries and they get protected by America. If anyone trys to put them on trial then America can do anything to stop that happening including war.

        But when someone does something legal in their own country as small as piracy or journalism. America wants them extradited.

          Oh wow the world is shit. Great job. Here is a fucking golf clap.

          You said something wrong and I corrected you. Whataboutism isn’t going to make your wrong thing correct.

            What the fuck are you on about.

            You brought genocide into this not me. I still don’t even know what point you’re trying and failing to make.

              Try reading next time and you will get the point.

              Let me guess you are all upset your BFF Russian spy friend is finally being extradited?

                You’re on about genocide and you pulled it out of your arse. Honestly you need to explain what point that is and how that relates to America having one rule for them and one rule for others. You’re not really talking any sense.

                I have no idea who that is. I was thinking more Julian Assange.
