Oh, that’s true. But when you come to a foreign country, you’ll have to recognise its laws. And if that country happens to have ratified the ICC, and the ICC has a warrant for you, well then you’re bound for trial.
replyIt’s the same rules you apply yourself, right?
Oh but others must recognize America's laws right? Oh the hypocrisy
replyIt’s not hypocrisy. Don’t follow them. But when your interests conflict with ours, then we will exert our influence.
replyAs Americas star continues to wane over the coming decades y'all are really going to regret this "might makes right" stance.
replyNot very worried about it. Im 100% sure we will be fine.
replyyou might want to check your infant mortality rate...
replyDelusional, but expected.
replyIt's not hypocrisy if your argument is that "might makes right", but if your argument is that the US has other principles, it is indeed hypocrisy.
replyAnd in that case, so much for "western ideals", if it's purely "America first, no ideals".
Sometimes self-interest leads to cooperation.
replyI agree with you.
replyNo you will kidnap people, have them killed, silenced, accounts freeze, etc. It's not merely "exercising influence", it's coercion. It's exactly the case here, it's the US's prerogative not to follow the ICCs judgements, it's none of your fkn business what laws other countries have. If a US citizen is in another territory, it's that territory's law that count.
replyYour government also routinely ignores its own laws and judgements.
Hypocrisy at all the levels, and lying to try to still have the moral high ground.
Typical American hubris.
replyI wish more people understand this very clearly instead of hiding behind "democratic values" and other moral lectures.
replyThe US is a colony of Israel.
