“International Law” is about as real as Scotland’s national animal.
IL is an excuse for Western empires to topple any regime they want. Pretending it’s anything more than that is as delusional as believing we can beat fascism by voting.
Do the good thing. North Korea can do it. Yemen can do it. Cuba can do it. China doesn’t get a pass from me just because you think it would hurt their PR (to do something that would make them heroes on the global stage! You think sanctioning Israel would hurt their PR? Or did you forget the topic of itnernational law that I’m talking about? Reminder: It’s the fucking genocide convention that you’re saying they aren’t obligated to enact.).

That would be a fine argument if you also conceded that China doesn’t agree, at least publicly.
What exactly are they supposed to say?
“International law is fake - we do what we want.”
Yeah, that looks like good PR for sure. 🙄
