Useless and lame organisations like the ICC and UN should be abolished

The ICC is investigating war or other crimes against humanity and against their leaders or ex-leaders in countries such as Myanmar, Ukraine (Putin), Philippines (Rodrigo Duterte), Yemen and lately Venezuela among others. The ICC is so busy nowadays. However, one thing in particular that everybody could see and which is absent is an investigation into USA/UK ex- leader's war crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan and in Guantanamo.
The ICC attempted to investigate Guantanamo and one threatening stance from the USA against those in charge of being bombed back to the stone age if they do so, put paid to the ICC's perceived cowardice. So, closing one eye is telling the world that there are two standards that the ICC applied against countries - those that they can threaten and those they have no marbles to disobey. That is how credible the ICC is today.

Russia already sounded the warning that if anyone, including the ICC leaders who signed the warrant to arrest Putin, and who dared to arrest Putin when he visits South Africa in August for the BRICS summit, Russia will likewise bomb that country to the stone age. It is a declaration of war if Putin is arrested by any country, clear and simple. The call by ICC to South Africa to arrest Putin puts South Africa in a dilemma, but South Africa already clearly indicated that such an arrest is pure nonsense. In fact it is no dilemma for South Africa, if they just withdraw their membership from the ICC and be done with all the horseshit.

Elsewhere, it has been reported that the UN is setting up a body to oversee AI developments around the world. Just like nuclear proliferation treaties, it is going to serve no purpose if some countries can unilaterally twist the narratives and tear up any agreements to comply under the body.

When such countries have the upper hand, they enforce the rules of the UN body to suit their interest. When they do not have the upper hand, they sabotage the rules to keep others down, and when they fail to do so, they unilaterally quit, enabling them to do as they please like the nuclear treaties. They have the nuclear option to deal with other ie sanctions.

My take on this is that it is a move created to target China, now that China is so well advanced in AI development. All these moves have one objective in mind, which is to keep China down, which is why China is not in any nuclear treaty thus far, and will not be a part of the similar hogwash AI watchdog with fake intentions. They have been hyping up the dangers of AI for quite a while now. Behind the smokescreen, what are they up to now is nothing moral or conscionable.

  1. And yet they are setting up more bodies to oversee others, but keep a blind eye on themselves and all the evils and heinous crimes that they committed.

    Abolish they will not do. But countries withdrawing their membership may render them impotent, which Russia and China should set the example. What does the ICC do is targeting countries other than the real Axis of Evil, the USA, UK and EU. It should be the first to be deserted.

  2. Agree. Why should peaceful countries join these useless and gangster organisations to be controlled and bullied by them?

  3. These are white men's organisation to control the world.

    It is another form of alliance or defence pact. Once become a member, got to be controlled by them and do as they ordered.

  4. Africans are telling the Whites - "We know what is good for our country and does not need the West to dictate to us how we should rule the country".

    With no other better ideas to control the Africans, or compete with China and Russia, they are resorting to targeting on like human rights and LGBT issues, which are peripheral issues, knowing that main issues like housing, water resources, infrastructures, railways, roads, ports and airports are all well taken care of by China already.

  5. Biden wants to promote 'digital transformation' of Africa, knowing that Africa is well behind others in that area. Boasting is easy, but by offering each African country something like US$7.5 million each, what kind of digital transformation is he talking about? Maybe exporting those old 3G/4G infrastructures instead of scapping them, like sending obsolete weapons to Ukraine.

    The offer he made at the US/Africa Business Forum in Washington on December 14, 2022, after meeting with African leaders, was originally US$350 billion to be shared among about 50 countries with each getting US$7 billion each. However, that amount was subsequently reduced to US$350 million instead, after Biden woke up from his sleep and got knocked on the head by his own Democrats and probably roasted by Congress. Behind closed doors of course.

    That was a shameful loss of face for the USA in the eyes of the African leaders. The USA ballon burst right in front of those African leaders when they returned home. Beside that, Biden was also talking about building roads, rails, infrastructures for improving the lives of Africans. Too little too late.

    Biden probably does not realise that China already spent years building up infrastructures for African countries. I just wonder whether that promise he made has been met, or just the usual lip service, as he may be out of the White House in less than two years. And Trump may just cancel all the deals to Make America Great Again.

  6. By now Biden would have forgotten everything that he said to the African leaders. What meeting? Was there a meeting?

  7. True, Biden would have forgotten everything that he said to the African leaders few months back. In fact, some claim that he does not even remember what he ate this morning. Biden is now fighting for his political survival, with all the evidence being dug up over his bribery and interference with the justicial system.

    The USA is now like a madhouse. One former President being indicted for treason over possession of highly classified documents and another facing impeachment for bribery and corruption. Wonder which one will the voters choose in 2024. That is the beauty of the USA political system. A mentally sick nation and rotten to the core, from top to bottom.

    I believe Africans know that Biden may not last even his current term to fulfil his promises, either physically or mentally. And not to forget that in the USA, promises made by one President is not definitely going to be honoured by the next one. We have seen that with Donald Trump, tearing up even agreements and treaties at his whims and fancies. Africans are not as foolish as Europeans. That is the irony.
