So a law that wasn't passed by the elected representatives of a country's population has no validity in that country. This had to be decided by a Supreme Court.
We truly live in the stupidest timeline.

sounds like a certain country is itching for some FREEDOM!
They're probably planning a coup next year. And it's the same people who impeached Dilma years ago (due to US interference). Probably the US will claim some shit like "Lula is a terrorist bc of PCC" (a drug gang). "Brazil is living in a communist dictatorship, we need to help them ", "Brazilian Amazon was promised to us by God to be used by Data Centers" etc.
The basic concept of sovereignty makes this pretty clear. Its a sad day when we have to point out that the sky is, in fact, still blue
It's just for show. It also means BRICS is a thing. The US is finished. Now, can someone point me to cheap land in North Carolina?
No no, Brazil, you’re failing to understand how hegemony works. You see, we aren’t colonizing you, you’re independent. No imperialism here. But if you do something we don’t like…well, let’s just say you should do what we like.
Why did this even need a ruling?
And yet nothing will ever stop Americans from coming into other nations’ subs and citing amendments that we don’t have.
Alright I'm confused, how did sovereignty not already prevent this?
JFC Canada needs this - badly.
Then we'd still have a home grown defense industry with Avro Arrows in museums and not wrecking yards.
But hey, now is a uniquely unique time in history, never before have we seen such things.
How could that even go to the supreme court?
According to the Constitution of Brazil, foreign court decisions "can only be enforced in Brazil upon approval or in compliance with international judicial cooperation mechanisms," the court said.
Seems there is a mechanism for it. Probably to work with the international court of justice or something?
Treaties in general that Brazil is a signatary of. The ones that legislate human rights are ranked as high as the constitution.
Well, it's the correct court to judge it.
Or you meant "how come someone even though the opposite?"
I don't have an answer for that. There's that guy that got a powerful position in some other country that keeps ordering that people do those nonsensical stuff, and I can't really understand where he takes his ideas from.
But Russian law is apparently applicable in the United States...
Yeah. That's how being a puppet state works.
Please name a Russian law applicable in the United States?
Also see: the ICC. Also see: The Hague Invasion Act.
Countries apply, well, ONE country, laws outside themselves all the fucking time.
lol why would they? But then again, Americans are the only country who fly their drones over your country, and use your country as a battlefield and then go home. They’re the world police. They would shit themselves if another country used the us mainland as a battlefield and had foreign drones flying around.
They’re too used to thinking they own the planet
Uh... The Russia? Isn't that country doing the same in a much bigger scale, even?
The Russia is doing it on a far smaller scale. The US does it so often it's boring.
See: how many military bases the US has around the world. See also: how Hawai'i became a state. But The Russia bad.
A far smaller scale? Show me where USA has ever done something like what the Russia has done in Groznyi, Aleppo, Mariupol and Bakhmut?
When was the last time USA spent a night sending several hundred drones aimed at civilian homes? And when was the last time the Russia did not do just that?
What about the Kakhovka dam? When was the last time USA caused such devastation anywhwere at all?
I mean, I've been in several demonstrations against many wars waged by the US, and I most likely will attend many more, and I stopped buying US-made products when the Iraq war began. But come on, what the Russia is doing is in a whole other league compared with USA.
And of course I know about Hawaii. Just blatantly overthrowing a country's leadership and taking over it in such modern times is apalling. But have you ever heard of Siberia? Did you know that it is nowadays a part of the Russian Federation? Ever read of that? And then, if you look at Mali, South Sudan, Belarus, Libya, Kazakhstan, and Syria, the amount of pain and horror caused for the locals because of Russian meddling in their countries has been huge. Yeah, regarding that, USA is doing very similar shit, but they do at least cause less destruction than the Russia does when doing the same.
And USA has Guantanamo, but the Russuahas twenty of those.
The issue with the US is they use other countries as bases for their drone war.
usfefaultism smh! /s
I hope no one is shocked. But X.com is an American company so I don’t imagine they will defy a legal order in that jurisdiction.
We need to shrink the US economy to weaken their joke sanctions. Cuba knows a thing about the US getting economically hysterical.
