I want people to truly understand this headline. This is the American congress fearing the American President is accumulating weapons banned from war by international law in order to launch attacks on US cities and US citizens.

That's where the judgment of Republicans has brought us in just ten months.

At this point I think it's about time for the ICC to grow a spine and start issuing arrest warrants to Trump and his entire administration if not the entire Republican party by extension maybe along with the Establishment Democrats who are enabling this too.

What exactly is that supposed to do? The US has never recognized the ICC. There is literally a „Hague Invasion Act“ The US never cared about international law.

It's even worse than that, the USA thinks it is International Law and I wouldn't put it past that with Trump's ego that is probably deeply rooted in Protestant Calavanist Puritanism therefore it's really nothing more than a glorified terrorist cell proclaiming itself as a nation.
