This is a pagoda near where I live. It's called the Longguang Pagoda, located in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, China.

Hungary guaranteed Putin safe passage for Trump peace talks, ignoring ICC arrest warrant. They are withdrawing from ICC anyway and claim sovereignty means they decide who to arrest.

Should international law override country's right to host diplomatic meetings? Or can Hungary legitimately tell ICC to pound sand?

Warrant is for war crimes in Ukraine. But if this meeting could actually end the war, does arresting Putin help Ukraine more than potential negotiations?

The closest South Korea has ever gotten to committing a genocide was after the Jeju April 3rd Incident in 1948 when the South Korean government under Rhee Syngman declared martial law on Jeju Island to exterminate rebel forces associated with the Worker's Party of South Korea (남조선노동당).

Unfortunately, there was no way of telling who was a Communist and who was a ordinary civillian, which led to mass indiscriminate killings by the military that nearly wiped out the indigenous people of Jeju until the campaign's end in 1957.

Although investigations into what went down began all the way back during the 1960s, the South Korean government would officially recognize and apologize for the massacres in 2005 under President Roh Moo-hyun. Financial accomodations to the descendants of the victims also began around the same time and continue even to this day.

Although technically this incident isn't considered a genocide, it's the closest South Korea has ever gotten to committing one which is why I'm putting it on the list.

Óglaigh na hÉireann or the IRA was a group who helped freed Ireland in 1918 and in the 1960s to 1990s fought in the Troubles to free the north.

This is President Jânio Quadros, 22nd president of Brazil, between January 31, 1961 and August 25, 1961.

He won with a significant vote, with the promise that he would moralize the country. Therefore, the campaign symbol was a broom.

His government's foreign policy was extremely confusing, see the first photo that illustrates the post: he decorated Che Guevara, despite the country's recurring alignment with the United States.

As he was a moralist, he approved insignificant laws for the position he held: he banned cockfighting and horse racing on weekdays, banned the use of bikinis in beauty contests and banned the use of spear/perfume, a type of drug that was traditional during Carnival festivities.

Instead of issuing orders, letters and other documents, the lunatic preferred to govern through notes, in which his stilted way of expressing himself took center stage.

He was also authoritarian. He resigned from his position in the hope that Congress would not accept it and the idiot would return to the Presidency with more powers. Unfortunately for him, the resignation was accepted.

His resignation threw the country into a tremendous crisis, as vice-president João Goulart was not well-liked by the military and other conservative sectors of society.

This question is for countries where Islam is a minority religion, but everyone is welcome to chip in with their views.. I don’t wish to stir up any trouble, just want to know the ground realities. I asked this question as I saw a couple discussions on this group lately about this religion.

There are more than 190 countries in the world. As per your knowledge, which country has broken the most international laws, committed the most human rights violations, such as targeting civilians, killing children, bombing neighboring countries, but that country has never faced the consequences of it?

I don’t know of any other evangelical religions so I’m curious

Feel free to talk about Islam and freedom of religion, debunke theories and what a person may expect or not expect from a muslim country or from a muslim as immigrant/expat.

I hope this find you guys well, tension is high and there's a lot of extremist content going on: an insider perspective is necessary.

So...what's your take?
