Slightly odd and typically one sided

As of Wednesday, the Argentinian hosts of the G20 summit, on 30 November and 1 December, said MBS was still on the guest list, but he may yet reconsider. The risks are not just political and diplomatic. In theory, Bin Salman could face legal jeopardy under the doctrine of universal jurisdiction, which allows prosecutors in any country to seek the arrest of individuals suspected of grave crimes like genocide, torture or extrajudicial executions, regardless of where the crimes were committed. Three universal jurisdiction cases have already been opened in Argentina, concerning the Spanish civil war, the Armenian genocide and Palestine. Human rights groups in Buenos Aires said there were no plans to seek MBS’s arrest. But lawyers could charge him in a European court, and then seek his arrest through Interpol in Buenos Aires. “There is a serious risk of complaints being filed against him,” Whitson said. “And not being the head of state means he does not benefit from impunity.”

Yeah you'll get opinion writers whining and preaching about everyone else not helping them (but not themselves) but **** them, wouldn't waste my eye muscles.

The usual suspects prefer the simplistic narrative of 'Orange man bad!', which doesn't tally with facts when you actually look at exactly who's selling arms to the saudis....... The U.K., France and China remain major sellers to Saudi Arabia, with South Korea recently joining by reportedly providing anti-tank missiles.Turkey and a number of Eastern European countries also sent weapons and military equipment with others, such as Brazil, potentially joining the mix. Russia too has offered to cut a deal for weapons. BUH.... ORANGE MAN BAD!!!

Lets get it straight. Ireland is heading towards "kip" for irish people (housing, employment quality, healthcare), but its the land of milk and honey for outsiders. Youd almost wonder if one comes at the expense of the other?!

You can say its as harsh as you like, call me a prick etc, but im a realist. Ive also spent time in actual warzones. I know the story. While others might like to cry along the lines of "the poor black babies" from the comfort of their living rooms thousands of miles away, stroking their ego through the pretence of "caring", people who actually deal with it in reality learn that it is neverending. It is all related, and you come very quickly to realise that its you or them. Sorry for the dose of cold reality. Maybe I'm a celebrity is on tonight and you can take a break from your token humanity.
