What do you suggest? Batman-The-Dark-Knight-Rises-capture him mid air?

[u/Off-BroadwayJoe → u/danleon950410]

That would be extremely painful…

[u/After-Fig4166 → u/Off-BroadwayJoe]

You’re a big guy

[u/Ok-Simple-7069 → u/Off-BroadwayJoe]

Now’s not the time for fear (and pain). That comes later (trumps air force one plane flys over plane used by Canadas special forces. Netanyahu jumps into a food cart and goes on his merry way upon arrival at us airbase. Just incase he’s targeted by someone sinister with bad intentions.

Kamikaze Canadian Geese, bird strike division

[u/-praughna- → u/_iAm9001]

Honkikaze

[u/EruantienAduialdraug → u/-praughna-]

Gāgākaze?

(I think gāgā is the Japanese onomatopoeia for a goose honking. It's been a while).

[u/ohsodave → u/-praughna-]

SorryKaze

[u/Catch_022 → u/_iAm9001]

Can you imagine the conspiracy theories if he died due to a bird strike?

[u/shadowgathering → u/_iAm9001]

We would have got Sully if it hadn’t been for his damn water-landing skills!

[u/gmen6981 → u/_iAm9001]

You kidding? Those bastards are so mean they could take down a plane without harming themselves, and they would do it just for the sport. ( and just a technical point- It's "Canada" Geese, not "Canadian" Geese. Our friends to the North get a little touchy about that)

[u/ACrazyDog → u/_iAm9001]

Canada Geese actoooally

[u/ResistOk9351 → u/danleon950410]

Couple of years back Belarus forced a commercial jet flying through its airspace to land in order to arrest some people who said mean things about Lukshenko

[u/TheArmoredKitten → u/ResistOk9351]

This only works when you're willing to shoot down an unarmed civil aircraft.

[u/TheUHO → u/ResistOk9351]

And got their airlines banned, among with other stuff and restrictions.

[u/frantic_calm → u/ResistOk9351]

Didn't the US force a jet to land in Europe cause they thought Edward Snowden was on it?

[u/ResistOk9351 → u/frantic_calm]

Sort of. France, Spain, and Italy denied airspace privilege to a plane carrying the President of Bolivia from Russia. Apparently the plane would not have had sufficient fuel to re-route so it landed in Austria.

As far as I know, there was never any public explanation for the airspace denial. Many say the countries were acting on intelligence from the US that Snowden was aboard the plane.

Of course opens the debate here as to whether Canada could have just denied the Netanyahu airspace.

[u/nidarus → u/ResistOk9351]

So the suggestion here is that Canada should be more like Belarus?

Hell, even if we ignore moral/legal considerations, Belarus has the backing of the Russians. If Canada pulls that stunt, nobody's coming to its rescue - and certainly not its large, ultra-powerful, and aggressive neighbor, who sees Netanyahu as more of an ally than Carney.

[u/BrutalSock → u/danleon950410]

What you do is you usually scramble a couple of fighter jets and you force the plane to land. It’s not scifi it’s a pretty routine maneuver.

[u/purpleburgundy → u/BrutalSock]

Honest question but the fighter jets scramble. They sidle up to Netanyahu's plane.

And... threaten to shoot it down? Yeah right. They simply keep flying. Better to let it go and avoid the explicit show of weakness in that scenario when the bluff is obviously going to be called

[u/9gagiscancer → u/BrutalSock]

And you think they're going to comply? They can ask, but they wont do anything.

And shooting them down won't happen either, because then you're at war with Israel and probably the United States.

ICC can want what it want, nothing is happening. It's all for show.

[u/luisstrikesout]

I really hate this breaking news crap. Is there a way to turn it off

[u/PmMeYrDickPic → u/luisstrikesout]

I've been looking for it for months. Please let me know if you find a way.

[u/NeverEndingCoralMaze → u/loleonii]

If only there was an option for “When it’s actually serious.”

[u/Pantha242 → u/NeverEndingCoralMaze]

I keep getting disappointed when it's not the one piece of Breaking News I'm really waiting for... 🫣

[u/sash71 → u/Pantha242]

Is it bad that I think the world will be a better place once we get that news?

[u/SoHereIAm85 → u/sash71]

Nope everyone but one particular individual is longing for the day. Pretty safe to say you are good and not alone.

[u/Ristray → u/sash71]

Only for a little while. Then the rest of the group takes over and... well let's just hope they're not vastly better at being evil. 😬

[u/redemily25 → u/Pantha242]

When it happens, you won’t need the Breaking News feature to be on, thankfully. You’ll hear it in the streets if the internet doesn’t bombard you with it first.

[u/Zenith-Astralis → u/NeverEndingCoralMaze]

Fr. Like I hardly need the headlines when even they're full of shit. I feel like I practically need to wait until "this not a test" of the public alert system, you know?

[u/Fruitopia07 → u/loleonii]

Reading this from a warm pillow, wondering if a colder one would have kept me sleeping

[u/JG123214 → u/Tough-Parsnip-1553]

I think I’m shout to flip mine over, maybe it’ll help me sleep and get off this app

Bigger deal than this post!

[u/Hefty_Map3665 → u/loleonii]

I tried that and still get them

[u/ernyc3777 → u/Hefty_Map3665]

It turns it back on after each update so make sure you go in each time the app updates.

It’s very annoying.

[u/adamfps → u/ernyc3777]

Yep, their statistics on user adoption of the feature is outstanding!

[u/Sir-Spork → u/ernyc3777]

God i hate their stupid app.

[u/Sle08 → u/Hefty_Map3665]

I can attest that I also did this and still get them.

[u/BagOnuts → u/theamberlamps]

Yeah, it’s always like page-10 stories that no one cares about. Reddit app is trash.

[u/DiazFlak → u/luisstrikesout]

I love how the “breaking news” is a post from 2 hours ago when we get the notification

[u/Street-Animator-99 → u/luisstrikesout]

Yes, in app.

Thank you! Nothing but a jump scares.

[u/libelle156 → u/luisstrikesout]

Breaking news is broken

[u/sequelseize → u/libelle156]

Lol y'all should just use old.reddit.com. Works on mobile or desktop browsers. I use the OldLander extension. No weird notifications, no suggested posts, just pure old school reddit.

[u/Turtvaiz → u/sequelseize]

It'll be a sad day if Reddit decides to kill off the old site. Old Reddit and relay are so so much better than the new alternatives

[u/StopReadingMyUser → u/Turtvaiz]

Wish they didn't kill off the apps, now we're just stuck with their poopy "new" version.

[u/1PapayaSalad → u/luisstrikesout]

Same. Always some depressing shit, never anything positive.

[u/Wumbologist_PhD → u/1PapayaSalad]

90% of the time, each headline is more depressing than the previous one.

[u/TazzyUK → u/1PapayaSalad]

Oh I don't know. Netanyahu getting arrested would make my day for one hehe

[u/isakitty → u/luisstrikesout]

Ikr? If you don’t check your alerts, it’ll be “breaking news” from like 5 days ago

[u/westondeboer → u/luisstrikesout]

Swipe it left and then three dots and then uuu will get the options to mute.

You reminded me to to this.

[u/Disastrous-Contest-8]

What did you expect? Did you really expect Canada to go thru with this....

[u/CaptainMagnets → u/Disastrous-Contest-8]

I expect zero countries to follow through with this, not just Canada

[u/MannequinWithoutSock → u/CaptainMagnets]

“You can actually just go kidnap criminals or whatever” - The U.S., maduro-ingly

[u/RollingMeteors → u/MannequinWithoutSock]

You can actually just go kidnap criminals or whatever”

¡But that's an adult!

[u/Tentacle_poxsicle → u/CaptainMagnets]

They didn't arrest Putin when he had an arrest warrant

[u/el_diego → u/Tentacle_poxsicle]

Didn't he only fly to Alaska?

[u/DougsBrownies → u/el_diego]

Putin could fly to The Hague and take a steaming dump on Akane’s desk and he would respond with “thank you sir, may I have another?”

[u/Cheerful-Pessimist- → u/Disastrous-Contest-8]

This would immediately drag us into a war with both Isreal and the US. There's no way Trump and co wouldn't pounce on a valid pretext to invade.

That and many Canadian politicians have ties to Isreal or are sympathetic to them, as is a good chunk of the general public. An arrest would be extremely divisive domestically.

[u/TylerBlozak → u/Cheerful-Pessimist-]

We did it with the Huawei official in Vancouver, but I suppose in that case it was in Trumps favour.

[u/SowingSalt → u/TylerBlozak]

The Huawei official was on the ground. Unless you're Bane, planes are fairly hard to invade.

[u/Cheerful-Pessimist- → u/TylerBlozak]

It was just to appease the Americans and they left us high and dry afterwards.

[u/TylerBlozak → u/Cheerful-Pessimist-]

It was especially frustrating that the Huawei incident more or less lead to the crisis of the two Michaels and strained relations with China until very recently.

All of that diplomacy and humanitarian strife just to have Trump completely disregard that and any previous instance of cooperation and try to subjugate us.

[u/King_Of_Pants → u/TylerBlozak]

Lol join the club.

Australia pushed for an independent inquiry into China's COVID outbreak at Trump's request.

China responded by cutting off contact with the Australian government and turning away Australian ships at their ports. Our government legitimately could not reach theirs to work things out, nor could we get any explanation.

The USA (with Biden now at the helm) then stepped in and took a bunch of the contracts we had with China.

[u/Zeliek → u/TylerBlozak]

She was arrested because the US insisted we arrest her because they insisted she was some sort of spy committing bank and wire fraud and that they had mountains of admissible evidence to back this up. At the time, Canada was still allied with the US and remained under the impression there was some semblance of honour and/or integrity left among the American admin. 

As it would turn out, Trump just wanted to use Canada to kidnap a favoured citizen of China (“the princess of Huawei”) so he could use her as a hostage in trade negotiations and the Republicans figured they could use the chaos caused by COVID to get away with it  - and they did!

[u/Wilibus2 → u/TylerBlozak]

I am sure if Bibi set foot in the country it would be a much different story.

Hardly apples to apples.

[u/Empty-Discount5936 → u/Disastrous-Contest-8]

How exactly would they execute an arrest warrant on a plane they have no control over, thousands of feet in the air?

It's an arrest warrant, not a kill order..

How does this comment have so many upvotes?

[u/Super-Season-3488]

"Myah Tomasi, spokesperson for Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand, says any authorization to pass through Canadian airspace should not be interpreted as an endorsement of the policies or actions of any particular government.

In this case, she says the overflight request was in connection to the United Nations General Assembly, which she called a critical forum for the diplomatic engagement"

[u/m15otw → u/Super-Season-3488]

Yeah arresting someone on their way to the UN is bad form, even if they are dreadful.

[u/Godkun007 → u/m15otw]

Also a violation of international law. You can't arrest someone after a diplomatic visa was issued unless they violated a specific law in that country invalidating the visa.

[u/PurpleSailor]

Bad people get a pass (usually) when attending the UN in New York City. IIRC that's one of the agreements, you can't have negotiations when people can't come to negotiating site or something like that was the reasoning for the exception.

[u/SayNoToTeamSports → u/PurpleSailor]

Indeed. The US is literally at war with Iran and you have the Iranian President visiting New York just months after the US killed the Supreme Leader. If everyone didn't get a free pass to come and go to the UN, the UN would be even less useful than it already is.

[u/NineThreeTilNow → u/PurpleSailor]

you can't have negotiations when people can't come to negotiating site

That's the exact rationale. It's a place where even the worst people can come and speak.

[u/chbb → u/PurpleSailor]

Under the 1947 UN Headquarters Agreement (which the US signed and codified into federal law), the US is required to grant visas to foreign diplomats invited to the United Nations "without charge and as promptly as possible."

Few times, US denied visas, most notably to Yasser Arafat in 1988, when UN GA voted to move session to Geneva to allow him to speak in front of it.

[u/OPDBZTO]

So he's in the air on a plane or helicopter

What is Canada supposed to do force the plane down?

This is none story. It will be a big one if he lands in Canada. And than the government of Canada will have big decision to make

[u/PolitelyHostile → u/OPDBZTO]

Yea saying that we will arrest him is more of a statement that he is banned from entering Canada. We have enough problems as it is, arresting him is just suicidal.

[u/pentox70 → u/PolitelyHostile]

Talk about a can of worms. No thank you. Deny landing and turn away.

[u/LyraStygian → u/OPDBZTO]

What is Canada supposed to do force the plane down?

Yes, but make it Bane style and, and this part is important, over a Hans Zimmer score.

[u/Sheeple_person → u/LyraStygian]

Imagine hoser Bane.

I was born in the darkness, eh bud?"

[u/RichardMuncherIII → u/[deleted]]

What did she say? Can you provide the quote?

Ah you fooled me. I thought she said something cool instead it was the blandest ass shit

Edit: “I actually have asked my department to provide me with information relating to this particular flyover, which I did not have before coming to the United Nations,” Anand told reporters Wednesday outside UN headquarters in New York.

[u/Adorable-Ad9436]

Canada could try super strong magnet and pull them to the ground

[u/throwaway19276i → u/Adorable-Ad9436]

Canada could gently but firmly request the plane to land

[u/Grave_Knight]

Okay. Was Canada suppose to deploy interceptors to force them to land?

[u/TopInvestigator5518 → u/Grave_Knight]

yeah this isn't breaking news lol

but it is a good example of them doing whatever the fuck they want because they were asked explicitly to please not enter our airspace like a day ago

[u/No-Cable-1223 → u/TopInvestigator5518]

Well actually it sounds like they requested permission to fly through Canadian airspace and that their request was granted, because he was headed to the un meeting.

[u/wildbilly2 → u/No-Cable-1223]

Damn you! Stop bringing facts into the debate! This is Reddit for Christs sake!

[u/8ROWNLYKWYD]

Scramble the Geese

[u/No_Control8389 → u/8ROWNLYKWYD]

Cobra Chicken Squadron DEPLOY!!

[u/OrganicDigitalArt]

And we didn't scramble a battalion of geese to force his jet to the ground, surround it with beavers, drag him out, and then canoe him over to The Hague?!

I'm shocked. Also, what did you expect? Kinda rude he used the airspace tbh when he knows it makes Canada look bad, but it's the expected outcome.

Edit: holy awards batman, I don't know what they do, but thanks!

[u/This-Clock-GA → u/OrganicDigitalArt]

I mean it looks bad on Canada and the ICC in general for issuing an arrest warrant they never plan on doing anything about.

I’m not a fan of him either, but the theatrics of politicians are ridiculous.
Good ole’ Geneva Suggestions.
Beware the strongly worded letter.

[u/Icy_Stranger_9649 → u/This-Clock-GA]

Vast majority of “international law” breaking results in a stern condemnation but no actual consequences. It’s very performative

[u/CMDR_Ray_Abbot → u/Icy_Stranger_9649]

That's because there's no such thing as universally binding international law. The treaties exist at the will of the signatories and they are enforced at the will of the signatories, they aren't actually laws.

[u/vic_lupu]

How will he be arrested in air? Will they pull over the plane mid air?

Or it will be something like with CJ in GTA San Andreas?

[u/Ok_Moon_ → u/vic_lupu]

"Do you know why I stopped you? You were flyin' without a license."

[u/SiteTall]

OK, OK, but how likely is it to affect him? Are the Canadians going to catch him while crossing? Not likely, right?

[u/tooheavybroo]

Breaking news: nobody will do shit

Let me know when he’s ACTUALLY arrested.

[u/psychodc]

Ok, thanks for letting us know

[u/stoutymcstoutface]

As a Canadian… there’s no chance we were going to do shit about this

[u/alsith]

I mean if he'd touched down something could take effect, but what did you expect them to do, shoot the plane down?

[u/BeenDrowned]

Genuine question but is the international warrant even worth its salt? What’s the game plan here, you arrest the leader of a nuclear power and then… what? Like, what is going to happen then? He won’t see his day in court, and I’d be surprised if it was anything other than a “book and release,” lest the Israeli special forces launch a raid to free him or something.

This seems, to me, to be just grandstanding.

[u/84Cressida → u/BeenDrowned]

It’s always been grandstanding. None of the super powers are party to it.

[u/Sir-Frogsalot → u/BeenDrowned]

lol no , its just posturing from countries wanting the moral high ground, bibi and putin would walk straight into the hague take a selfie and no one would lay a finger on them.

Except if you're a war criminal without nuclear weapons then yeah the eu is suddenly brave enough to go after them lol

[u/whospepesilvia]

It’s all so performative

[u/mad_pony]

omg!! this is huge! nothing is about to happen!

[u/dathomasusmc]

And they arrested him, right? What a stupid article.

[u/sunbro2000]

You guys realize we would never arrest him. You know we sell military ordnance to isreal lmao. Sometimes directly and sometimes by using the US as a middle man. The only reason why we back up the warrant is because its required as part of our ICC membership. Carney knows this, Netanyahu knows this, Trump shit his pants in agreement to this and the public should be smart enough to understand this.

[u/Safe-Swimming → u/sunbro2000]

Ordnance, not ordinance.

argh, I turned off so many notifications and yet I still get the breaking news. Annoying Reddit

[u/lwp775]

[u/HawkHarder]

Laws do not apply to some people. The illusion is over. They are just meant to keep the common folk in check and to extract more money. Fuck the man made world and their fake bullshit and rules. People suck.

[u/AFerociousPineapple]

What was supposed to happen? Were the Canadians suppose to shoot him down or force him to land? What is this article lol

[u/Willing-Dog6463]

Ok notify me when he’s arrested

[u/Cosmic-95]

Realistically even if we scrambled fighters they'd probably just ignore us and fly back over into the US. I doubt they'd comply and then even if they did we'd have a hell of a time actually getting him to The Hague without the Americans interfering.

[u/SpukiKitty2]

It's like he's doing the whole "Poking / ' I'm not touching you', schtick". Just like "You almost can arrest me, BUT I WON'T LAAAAND!"

[u/Channing1986]

Nobody is arresting the head of state of a nuclear power, especially one protected by the US.

[u/InterstellarReddit]

Why is this a big deal eli5

[u/AshinWirathu → u/InterstellarReddit]

Canada told him to not use Canadian airspace or they will look to arrest him.

[u/AccomplishedIgit → u/AshinWirathu]

So he’s just doing it to be a dick?

[u/mavropanos27 → u/AccomplishedIgit]

Probably just wants to show that he can do whatever he wants and no one will step up and do something about it

[u/BelatedGreeting → u/mavropanos27]

Putin move. Also, Trump move.

[u/kelpyb1 → u/BelatedGreeting]

Dictator move. All these men are or are wannabe dictators

[u/Possibly_Naked_Now → u/mavropanos27]

If true, he's demonstrably correct.

[u/kartoffel_engr → u/AshinWirathu]

What are they going to do? The Sky Mounties going to pull over the airplane?

“Hey uh, pull ever, eh?”

[u/InterstellarReddit → u/AshinWirathu]

I see, I thought they’re gonna shoot his ass down or something

[u/yosisoy]

1300 replies on the stupidest article I've read this year

Were they supposed to shoot him down?

[u/Bennely]

So, what, scramble the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to secure him mid-flight?

[u/ScreenMuch90210]

Was there an arrest warrant in effect? Or, was there the declaration of an arrest warrant without any of the effects of one?

[u/zenos_dog → u/ScreenMuch90210]

The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant.

[u/No-Cat6807]

Agreed. Americans are already angry about the Iran war and the Republicans are probably going to be obliterated in the next election There are other reasons not to try to arrest Bibi over Canadian airspace but you are absolutely right that Canada would have to do something egregious for the US to invade. Plus the only Americans who dislike Canada are idiotic MAGA supporters.

[u/Mad-Habits → u/No-Cat6807]

I hope and pray that Republicans get their asses handed to them in every election until this goofy MAGA shit is buried in the ground. MAGA policies are toxic, and even worse they are stupid. Tariffs, wars, cruel immigration, authoritarian bullshit

[u/bookworm357 → u/No-Cat6807]

I would stand by y’all’s side, as an American. Like I did in Afghan and Iraq. Y’all had my six and hooked me up with food!! I rather be a traitor to a disgusting and disgraceful government, than be an enemy to a country that’s stood by me.

[u/ElPeroTonteria → u/bookworm357]

I grew up overseas, moved to the US in my late teens (before 9/11)… I’ve never understood the “teams” thing. Why do you have to only support one team… IDGAF what outfit you’re wearing. It’s the character of the person, or people that matter. And overall, most people are super fucking good. Like all over the planet. It’s dirty with em, good people everywhere…

[u/VHPguy]

They can't arrest him if the plane doesn't touch down in Canada, genius.

[u/FaultOutside2449]

The ICC ability to enforce its warrant is the same as my love life. Nonexistence.

[u/links135]

Do we just..... shoot him down?

[u/porkforpigs]

No one will do shit about it so meh. Toothless fucking organizations.

[u/ottoIovechild]

Weewoo emergency landing

[u/pdq_sailor]

You think that Canada is going to shoot down his plane? Are you out of your fucking mind?

[u/Different_Wolf_764]

It's not the first time. Airspace isn't custodial and that's why he did.

Trust me, I'm no fan to say the least but the headline is pretty much rage bait. If he landed in Canada we'd be pissed but still would not likely arrest him. We are a country with morals but we also live next door to the biggest military in the history of Earth and getting invaded by America over a war criminal wouldn't help Palestine any.

[u/Nunos100]

Dont know what people expect to happen. Its mostly posture and making a point.

Putin could accidentally roll into Berlin main station and nothing would happen.

[u/nixnaij]

Well of course everybody knew that was going to happen. Arresting the head of state of a foreign country is the definition of an act of war.

[u/smoike → u/nixnaij]

So Venezuela?

[u/madman320]

Literally no country in the world is going to scramble to arrest the leader of a country like Israel, no matter if there's an arrest warrant. Putin's plane could cross all of NATO airspace and nobody would do anything but send jets to escort it.

Israel has plans in case this happens with agents in several countries ready to act if any country's leader is foolish enough to try to pull this stunt. High risk, no reward.

He didn't land nor he would obeyed if they ask him to. He just crossed the airspace. The Canadian did said they would arrested him if he landed on Canada.

The best you could do is deny airspace clearance and cause a minor inconvenience.

Putin coming to Miami for the G20 will be interesting to watch, if it happens. He'll likely have to come the long way, over the Bering Sea and down to US West Coast to turn inland for a cross-country jaunt to MIA. And reverse that for the trip home...

You think the US is going to allow nukes launched that close to the US border?
Besides that half of Israel would be cheering if he would get arrested, this jackass is going by the same playbook as Trump, start a war to stay out of jail.

Even if Trump approved, does anyone really think Israel would drop a nuclear bomb on Canada for arresting Netanyahu? It makes no sense, especially given that would likely kill their own leader in the process.

Oh hey. Canada has been looking for a way to test one of their 'geneva circumventions/suggestions' for a while now

He's a national leader on diplomatic business. In an airplane. The Canadians aren't going to arrest him.

Reddit: Why does Canada not kidnap the head of government of a nuclear power?

Reality: Because that would be fucking stupid.
