    Well it’s just another liberal hypocrisy laid bare. Liberals have been clamoring for countries to arrest Putin (Mongolia being the most recent one), but I imagine they will be silent on Netanyahu. Now EU countries must choose either to honour the ICC warrant or not in the case of Netanyahu’s visit. If they don’t, lots of people are going to be asking wtf? since EU was adamant about prosecuting war criminals from the Yugoslav civil war. They even set it as a prerequisite for Croatia to join the EU (that everyone charged by ICC be brought to court).

    It will be a nail in the coffin of the “rules-based” order.

      Correct. But the liberal order should have been dead long ago. The UN literally participated in the assassination of lemumba in 1961. We are stuck in time. We need to fast forward.
