The Kremlin may have been trying to undermine the ICJ’s authority by making it a venue for specious legal arguments, say authorities.
Nicaragua’s case against Germany at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), in which the Central American country accuses Berlin of facilitating a “genocide” in Gaza, likely came at the behest of Russia, Western intelligence officials and diplomats told POLITICO.
A detailed western intelligence assessment presented to POLITICO determined that Russia, which has close relations with Nicaragua’s authoritarian leaders, likely pushed their allies in Managua to use the so-called Genocide Convention of 1948 to pursue Germany at the ICJ.
The Nicaraguans “have no reason to inject themselves into a conflict over the Middle East,” one of the western intelligence officers said.
…
For Putin, who seems to take a particular delight in trolling the Germans, humiliation may well have been part of the calculus.
Nicaragua shuttered its embassy in Berlin earlier this month as a result of the case. Neither the Nicaraguan mission to the United Nations in New York, nor its embassy in Vienna, which now covers Germany, responded to a request for comment.
Pelosi caveated this statement saying that most of them are probably organic and sincere, but the pro Palestine movement aligns with the goals of Russia 🤷♂️, which doesn’t make the pro Palestine movement wrong.
It’s pretty well documented that Russia attempted to spur conflict within the US by trying to instigate the BLM movement. The BLM movement may overall be a good thing, but that doesn’t mean we should be happy that antagonistic foreign governments are trying to add to them.
Further, look at all the tankie influencers online who suddenly are super pro Palestine, such as Jackson Hinckle, even though they have no issue with governments putting down protest in their preferred countries like China.

Pelosi very clearly tried to shove off Palestine demonstrations on China and Russia pretending it was all not organic. Let’s not forget her saying on video"go back to China" to protestors calling for a ceasefire.
Claiming that other regimes are responsible for a massive public protest against a governments war crimes is what Tankies do.
CCP Tankies always point to the American government influencing the Tienanmen square massacre saying t it was totally not an organic movement.
Is there some foreign influence? Let’s not pretend that we never try to propagate dissident in foreign countries such as the Iranian protests. But that does not make it all foreign influence.
I would qualify this very article on top and Nancy Pelosi as Tankie propaganda
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
“go back to China”

Weren’t they literally from Codepink? Like 25% of their funding comes from the Shanghai based billionaire husband of a cofounder. Since they got married, Codepink changed their opinions SHARPLY on China. It seems like a good excuse for shouting “go back to China”.
Not seeing those people wear Codepink outfits.
The problem is that Nancy is designating anyone that rightfully proclaims israel was (and still is) comitting Genocide as a Chinese or Russian troll. This is literal Tankie stuff.
Iran also designate any protestors for womens rights as “American psy-ops” because America most certainly supports that narrative and influences people to protest for it. Does that somehow make it right for the Ayatollah to ignore the issue and claim it’s all American?
Of course not. So Nancy can’t pull the same trick with Genocide either.
