    I’m not sure about the logistics of this, but if Netanyahu doesn’t get a guilty verdict it’ll validate all criticism of the ICC as a neo-colonialist tool.

        It’s funny how cartoonishly evil this sounds, but also kind of awe inspiring that the US probably could fuck up everyone at the same time

        Like when we wave our dick around, EVERYONE sees it.

          I think this is part of the problem though. Israel (among many other countrys) has a defence pact with the US. If the US doesnt wave their dick around in support, the other countries then have to assume that theyll be left out to dry as well.

          Anyone who thinks Bidens job is simple is kidding themselves.

    This is the bare fucking minimum. Why have rules if they can be arbitrarily broken by some players?
