Hague Invasion Act

The act gives the president power to use "all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court".

Americans are never prosecuted for the war crimes they commit

That's real? Holy fuck what sort of clownworld are we actually in?

Jesus, look at all those people sucking him off in those replies. We are so screwed...

"sieg geil!"

"You sound like a nazi when you say that."

"Well thank you"

I don’t know about you, but to me it sounds like a valid legal argument that Luigi Mangione’s lawyers could potentially use?

Yeah, pretty crazy precedent if you applied it to America. So all oil companies employees are fair game along with chemical employees and the majority of people in the food/alcohol/tobacco industry. Now that I think about, it is justification to eliminate about a third of the US population.

I dunno, he's one of the more mocked figures in US politics. History will hopefully remember him well for couch debauchery

Unless.. well... unless they start ww3 👉👈

Are you sure he's not the successor to the throne after daddy is dead? It seems like many people would want him.

Pretty much for the last 50 years

It never meant anything to the USA and other imperialists, it is regularly used to justify action against those outside the "international community"

If that's how you feel, then all laws mean pretty much nothing. The only reason any of it matters, is if we all agree to abide by them. Technically, anyone can commit any crime, at any time. The rest of us need to hold those people accountable, or as you said...none of it matters.

I mean, if someone ever detains a us service member on behalf of the ICC, the US will literally invade the Netherlands

It's like putting bullseye sheets on every back of them.

You've made the mistake of thinking that this is about killing members of a drug cartel instead of killing people they decide to accuse of being members of a drug cartel

Not just him but kegsbreath too.

A child trying to imitate trump maybe

Not brown or poor-looking enough, sadly.

You could make a very strong argument that the cartel is something for the country itself to deal with, or rely on help through organisations like INTERPOL and not just have the US decide it's murder time for a random civillian they have no evidence on.

Prove it in court and put them in jail then.

I agree, that's why MAGA and the KKK should be executed in the stree- wait, is that not who we're talking about? Oops, my bad.

If you have a proper judicial process, some mistakes are caught. On the other hand, extra judicial killings have no recourse for mistakes.

Even the best processes and well intentioned humans make mistakes. Extra judicial process is a recipe for humanitarian disaster.

Unknown number of innocent people will be murdered in cold blood without remorse if such a policy is adopted.

i think you mean military instead of militant, any violent group is militant. So being militant is still a civilian thing and using the military against civilians is a war crime. Also using the military within your own borders is a crime. So no it's not a "very strong argument" it's not an argument at all

We should sanction whoever is providing them guns.
