But the time they gained by doing that is slowly running out. Midterm elections are in 508 days. Then again, I guess Americans might elect traitors again again.

They definitely count as actions designed to test the limits of Article 5.

You’re part of the problem.

Says the guy with the flag of Russia on his name. My irony detector went supernova.

But hey, props to you for not hiding it like many others do.

Captured or arrested is the word you're actually looking for. Or, as it currently stands, released.

By having a charging station at home, I guess.

International Maritime Law isn't some sort of a free-for-all zone. Most significantly there are exceptions for countries that are in an armed conflic, which Israel definitely is.

Israel and Egypt are blockading Gaza in accordance to international law. Essential civilian supplies like food and medicine obviously cannot be blocked though, so that part (if true) is indeed illegal. But interdicting ships that might be providing contraband to an enemy can be legal, even on the high seas.

The EU is going to lie down when it should be intervening militarily in Israel to free them from fascism.

With what power, when we apparently cannot even protect EU/NATO hopeful Ukraine from fascist Russia properly, even when almost every EU country supports Ukraine? Gaza is not exactly first priority right now, and it's not exactly on our side.

So far, I have been told no good reason why Gaza in particular deserves help from our extremely limited resources.

Well yeah ok. I think we can hope for a relative diminishment of utter fucking insanity.

So Russia, and Russia alone, wants to continue the war. Not exactly new information but gotcha. I guess Putin has like 3-4 years to go until Democrats win pretty much everything in USA and the west is then back to normalcy.

But hey, I guess the bright side is that he might die extremely painfully before even that.

In the meanwhile, I think the west should be putting significant resources into instigating a revolution in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Communist, liberal, centrist, conservatist, I don't care. Just split up that shit. And this time when Russian state breaks up, don't let them keep their earlier status in UN and give them a similar deal regarding nuclear weapons as Ukraine was given.
