@RaymondPierreL3 79/125 Member states. Most democracies have signed (except those with ne0-fascist/Trumpist governments), not so many in Asia and Africa.
@Godfrey642 Being seeing a lot of these kinds of toots from Australians lately. Let's be honest. Is there any Australian PM who could get elected in Australia who wouldn't do the same exact thing?
Yes agreed. America isn't seen by regular ppl as trustworthy or reliable. Many many voters are against #AUKUS bc of the price, timeline and the fact it's an American deal. Trump is seen as a joke at best and total despot at worst.
@Godfrey642 The countries NOT supporting the ICJ is a much shorter list - Australia, China, Czech Replublic, Hungary, Israel, North Korea, Russia, USA - we’re in great company!
@AndrewRiddell1 @gpnaturephotos @Godfrey642 As with Czechia, it's unsurprising given that the government is dominated (despite its minimal support) by the far right ACT party

That's unclear. Trump is very unpopular, and on this issue, Albo would have been siding with the great majority of our friends and allies.
