      That’s one quick way to destroy America’s position in the global system. But Trump would order it. We all know he would.

      This is just how the world works tbh. The ICC has no mechanisms for enforcement. They rely on participating countries, because they don’t have an international mandate to do well, anything, without the approval of the international community. There is no world government, or world police

          Yeah sorta. But there’s no way to force the US to participate, there’s zero international law that has enforcement mechanisms. In order to pursue an ICC trial, they rely on the armies/police/prosecutors/judges of other nations, and none of those nations are going to risk fucking up their relationship with the US. In this case, the US is literally not beholden to the laws

          That’s kind of the point of being a (near) hegemon

    I don’t think the ICC gives a shit about what the GOP has to say. There have been multiple reported war crimes, something must happen.

    Threatening the prosecutors’ families is a typically classy move from the GOP.

          They keep winning Presidential elections against the popular will, they gerrymandered districts and restricted voting to guarantee themselves electoral wins, and they stuffed the Supreme Court with extremists who will do their bidding for decades. They’re pretty competent at being obstructive and gaming the system for far-right minority rule.

        They’re totally incompetent at many things, such as governing, but they’re brilliant at brainwashing their followers and causing harm to people at home and around the world. Just like typical fictional supervillains.

    Target deez nutz. They both found evidence of genocide and spoken words that imply intent that would make compelling evidence during the trial.

    They will do anything and everything to escalate tensions in that part of the world. They believe that if they can hasten Armageddon in the Middle East it will force Jesus to come back sooner. It’s a bullshit lasagna plan (layer upon layer of utter shite). But it’s what these lunatics believe.

      This right here. Not enough people realize how bonkers these religious nut jobs really are, or that this is the real reason the US is so invested in Israel.

    Wait a second? So if GOP members say stuff like this, what happens if some unruly ICC people decide to go after GOP and their family? These people sure know how to create a safe world…

    Edit for wording

      there’s a US law that says the US will destroy the ICC if they try to convict a US citizen, I think. Threats work.
