knowingly in contravention of the South African government.
South Africa of course warned Putin not to arrive in Johannesburg for the BRICS summit due to potential security risks from compradors and threats of much more punitive sanctions than before.
"The UN is toothless", they cry.

Wasn't it two days ago that they were complaining that ICC member Mongolia didn't arrest Putin when he has a warrant out for him?
Maybe he's not going there to pay respect, but to learn from mistakes of the other fascists?
News apart, why did I always assume that Auschwitz was in Austria?! I guess I'm just dumb
Auschwitz is the German version of the name of Polish town Oświęcim where the camp is located. Poles and many other people too specifically says "Oświęcim" when it's about town and "Auschwitz" when it's about camp, to signify who's responsible for the camp.
Also fun fact, the Polish name means "we will sanctify" in archaic Polish
