No one knows where New Zealand really is anyway.
Good lol, that's our best defensive option anyway
Like an above-water Atlantis.
It's right there in the name: New sea-land
What happens when Gondor calls for aid?
Alaska will- oh, they fell off the edge of the world.
I’d be freaked out if I got on the plane out into the Pacific and it just wasn’t there anymore.
COVID also forgot where it was, so its not all bad.
Don't map makers usually do this with a bordered box with long/lat inside the box? (Or in this case, at least an arrow pointing EbN.)
If he comes to my house in Wisconsin I'll grab him, throw it on the map.
Its on there already. Just too zoomed out. Special thanks to palantir

Disappointing grayness in Europe
I have serious doubts about Canada's "absolute readiness" given that Carney is Carney.
It isn't an option. Canada would have to withdraw their support for the ICC, if they were to ignore one of their rulings. Carney can't just decide to do that on his own. It would need to be legislated.
They would just "forget" about arresting him or purposefully started some kind of long procedural judicial consultation ("something, something, Diplomatic Immunity"), for long enough that Carney had time to properly lick Netanyahu's arse and the latter left Canada.
Following that there would be some theatrical political performances on the theme "we could never imagine this could happen" including some deeply emotional "lessons were learned" at the end for that oh so very special "we're really genuinelly sorry and this will never happens again (until it does)" juice.
Wait so are you saying that ICC rulings are in fact enforced by the judicial branch (like any other arrest warrants) and not the executive? That would be great because I was just about to lament on here that they seem to depend on the willingness of the executive in most countries. Which is the precise reason why we leave law enforcement to a separate branch
It's actually both branches, since law enforcement falls under the executive. Canadian law has been directly aligned with international law for decades. This means that if Netanyahu ever set foot on Canadian soil, the RCMP would be obligated to arrest him.
However, I would assume they would probably hand him over to the Hague for prosecution, rather than try him in Canada...even though they have the legal authority to do so.
@Archangel1313 @eestileib There is a big difference between "legislative requirement" and "enthusiastic support"
My point was that this is not a decision that Carney can make, unilaterally. By law, Canada is obligated to arrest him if he comes to Canada. Which means "Carney being Carney" has nothing to do with it. Canada would have to not only change its domestic laws...they would have to redefine their alignment with international laws.
I'm happy with this. I don't want particular politicians to be able to unilaterally decide on these things.
Weird that he’d be totally safe in Iran.
Realistically, there's likely a diplomatic arrangement that he's given safe passage for negotiations. One might argue, however, that he could be classified as an enemy combatant, and just shot on sight - no arrest needed.
I assume the map is excluding all the countries where he'd just instantly be chopped up on sight instead of arrested and handed over to the ICC.
Seriously though, I assume this is only for countries that would enforce the ICC warrant. He's probably a wanted man in lots of countries. In reality this map is actually way redder than this.
If Denmark is red, then shouldn't Greenland be too?
Isn't basically all of Africa and Asia supporting his arrest? I feel this map made every country not part of the western world grey, as in 'we dont now the data or don't care about it'.
Where is this data from? I seriously doubt NZs current thumb in chief has the stones to remove his tongue from Trumps ass long enough to arrest Netanyahu
This is the cool thing about NZ. They're so geographically out of play, they can do/say whatever, geopolitically, without anyone caring.
What's someone gonna do? Go fight them out in the carpark ten blocks away just to get absolutely nothing out of it?
I think the only time they upset someone was when they disallowed bringing nuclear vessels and aircraft into their territory.
USA: "You'll regret that."
NZ: "Meh..."
Three decades on, NZ still just chillin'. No need for the protection of the Pacific fleet lol
Iran?
Is there a bounty? If anyone wants to help, we can split it equally. I promise not to predictably change my mind once we get out deep into the canyon.
source?
What defines absolute readiness in this case? For example I know Starmer said the UK would honour its commitments to the Rome statute and arrest Nehtanyahu if he entered the UK.
Something makes me suspect he'd wriggle out of it if he was to come
Don't try to be a hero New Zealand. Wait for back up damn it.
Ireland wouldn't arrest they'd get down on their knees and take a long drunk of water. Pucker up
