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

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

      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

    Why does the GOP go against the wishes of Vladimir Putin when it applies to Israel?

        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.

          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.

      Yeah I think the implication now that they will try and murder them. Thinly veiled threats

      The US apparently already put a law in place that if a US soldier is ever tried by the ICC that they would invade the Netherlands and liberate him by force.

      We want to be able to commit war crimes and behave like absolute monsters, and we want the same for our friends.
