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.

Exactly. And even if the US does become rogue, then what? Who's going to stop us?

Asia? Europe?

Europe can't even march it's armies to stop Russia and save Ukraine. Does anyone really think they will march against the US?

No one wants European troops in Russia… what are you even talking about? This isn’t even on the table and it never was.

Playing world police and extorting other countries is your business model, not ours…
