    The US is ready to nuke what’s left of international law in order to protect a couple of criminals.

    That are ready to bring us back to the era of the League of Nations just so that Bibi fucking Netanyahu doesn’t go to trial.

    Canada, the EU, and a bunch of other Western countries are signatories to the treaty of Rome. What do they have to say about this bullying behaviour of the US government?

      The US nuking international law to protect a handful of criminals has been a matter of explicit policy since the Hague Invasion Act of 2002.

      Yes, warcrime enthusiasts, I know it has a PR-friendly name that you would rather I use, but I’m not going to do your whitewashing for you. Cry about it.

      It’s wild because the ICC is giving Israel and the US a really wide, clear way out of the mess. All it costs is one war criminal and they can get out of this fucking death spiral.
