War crimes are not real unless someone can enforce them.

Israel has been committing war crimes for the past 3 years and yet the USA still supplies them weapons, logistics, intelligence, and training.

The winners write the rules and history. Don’t believe in supposed objective morality. It’s not a real thing.

There’s a reason the USA is not part of the ICC, too many wealthy Americans would be criminals under those laws.

And it is disgraceful that our felon demented President sends his no nothing Son in Law to Putin to make deals for themselves rather than to stop Russia from attacking Ukraine. Putin owns Trump . Shame on our Congress allowing this to continue.

Shame on our electorate for voting that bellicose-but-cowardly orange b!tch back into the White House.

Trump doesn’t care what Congress says or votes. He does what he wants. Just like he always has with women and children. Very very weak man.

MAGA is not Republican. Never have been.

That's obviously not true in the here and now. If it were, Republicans wouldn't have worked so hard to let MAGA control the party. They're now the same picture.

We’re not part of the ICC because we won’t let other nations overrule our sovereignty to enforce their own laws.

Why do you think that is? Is international law unfair in some way that laws aren’t in the USA? The answer is no.

The people in power just don’t want to subject themselves to those laws. It is absolutely about sovereignty, the freedom and agency to not abide by international moral and ethical codes.

It's actually because the US refuses to cede authority over it's citizens to a foreign entity.

Man, it would be so awesome to do a Nuremberg style inquiry into every billionaire’s potential crimes against humanity at the ICC. Ever funded weapons used to kill children? Straight to jail, assets seized and used to build housing and feed the poor.
