And yet nothing will ever stop Americans from coming into other nations’ subs and citing amendments that we don’t have.
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.
The issue with the US is they use other countries as bases for their drone war.
Why is that a relevant difference?
Good. Everyone should state this.
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
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.
Too bad the US is not a signatory to great many of those treaties.
Aparently they thought US law applied in other countries, so you can see why they were confused
But Russian law is apparently applicable in the United States...
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.
I'm not sure why you took them literally. They're making a tongue-in-cheek statement about how Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is able to manipulate the American president seemingly with ease and impunity.
Alright I'm confused, how did sovereignty not already prevent this?
It's great showmanship. It's a lot of festive noise and music to point fun at the dying empire.
The Americans currently in charge needed it turned into a picture book with words less than 5 letters to understand.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
