as a german, I think the way my country's government will handle both a potential provisional measures decision by the ICJ and a potential conviction years later (then likely a differently composed government, but the current actually is the least z°°nist it can get as far as viable parties go, believe it or not) is the most interesting question. on one hand, german politicians, including noteably the green party foreign minister and vice chancellor/economy minister, have been falling over themselves in displaying maximum sycophancy for i-country, without fail outdoing even joe biden. but on the other hand, germany does care much more than the US or britain about upholding the pretense of international law, and respecting UN authority. well, not really in terms of UN resolutions against i-country, but we just pretend that that's not happening, rather than acknowledging it and poo-pooing the UN. and of course our genius leaders, possibly based in a sort of genuine faith in i-country being the good guys (and thus possibly not considering the possibility of the court ruling against them; they may really be that delusional), have in their efforts to outsimp the US and get noticed by bibi-senpai cosigned i-country's ICJ defense, thereby explicitly signing on to gen°°°de denial, and implicitely signing on to the gen°°°de (which in reality they also support with recent weapon shipments)... and if at some point they realize that there is something to the case, and they have signed up germany for both committing and denying gen°°°de, the potential for cognitive dissonance is enormous. I think they have yet to realize how awkward of a position they have put us in, by somehow really believing their own lies.
I suppose in practice it will come down to a question of which countries and important people will come out as supporting the allegation. basically germany's leaders have made themselves very vulnerable because they will perceive any individual or institution they respect choosing to support the allegation as a personal attack (and one they can't actually rebuke).

@jessejordache1869 oh no, ursula von der leyen hasn't been a representative of germany for a few years, she is the president of the european commission, that's the EU's highest office. she took it upon herself to proclaim her german default view of the situation to be the EU consensus. that's definitely going to cost her the office after this year's EU elections, since some countries did not find her stance agreeable at all (mostly ireland, spain and belgium, but I think france wasn't happy either, and I think everybody would have wanted to hold some kind of meeting first to decide a message for her to deliver).
if you want to see a german villain, it's looking terrifyingly likely that a guy called friedrich merz from the most right°rded part of the christian democrats will be thenext chancellor, either after the 2025 election, or we may get early elections since our governing coalition is very fragile(they just all don't want to because the polls say they'd all lose seats in parliament). on the plus side, the guy looks very much like mr. burns (and he is a fittingly sinister rich a-hole, basically blackrock's main guy in germany).
oh, and despite still relatively steadfast denials, it is a very strong possibility that the christina democrats get their majority in a coalition with the new fascists of the AFD. because they'd makeperfect coalition partners in terms of policy alignment, much closer to mr. burns than any other major party.
