The ICC found the allegations credible enough to put out an arrest warrant for Lvova-Belova. I know that probably does not mean much to you, but in that regard imposing new sanction makes sense.
Either way, the editorializing of reasoning behind the sanctions (which my comment was actually about, so if you reply to me, reply to that) is dishonest.
I'll take the ICC seriously when they put out an arrest warrant for the US military and its involvement in genocide in Gaza. Or its involvement in murdering millions in Vietnam. Or in Korea. Or in Laos. Or... You get the point. The ICC is not impartial and is very much a tool of western imperialism.
So nothing about the headline then. Typical.
My initial comment was a reference to the headline and your response to it. You denied my comment by using the ICC as an argument from authority, I rejected that because ICC is not impartial.
Wait... That initial comment was making the case for editorializing headlines? And then you go on to moan about some other thing being a tool of western imperialism? (very cliché btw)
That's both ridiculous and hypocritical.
