    From the linked article:

    there had been no concrete attempt to murder Papperger but rather a “plot.”

    Meh. Every country draws up plans like these all the time. It’s not really news unless they move to act on it.

      Typical exaggeration by the media then.

      The US too drafted a plan to invade the Netherlands “just in case” the International Court decided that the US should follow international law.

      I’m guessing a slow news day at Politico

        No. The US, at one point, stated that it would use any and all means necessary to prevent ICC prosecution of US servicemembers.

          …including, but not limited too, carrying an offensive attack on a friendly NATO country, to cover up any possible attempts at justice.

          Nice effort at jedi mind tricking your way around it lol

          to state sponsored assainations of private citizens.

          You’re talking about the US’ policy abroad here, right?

          Comparing strategic war plans

          Or is this your attempt at justifying drafting plans to invade a friendly country?

          Either way…whatever you gotta tell yourself
