Donald Trump should be brought up on War Crimes. The ICJ should issue a warrant for him

    Will never happen, America gives complete protection for its military to commit as many international war crimes and not face punishment under fear of invasion.

    Hopefully we can give his ass the boot and then have him tried on the world stage. And this point I'd be down for someone to just whack him, I'm fucking over this shit.

    The US isn't part of the ICC and has veto power in the UN. The US is quite literally above the law and there isn't anything anyone can really do about it.

    Why don't all states kick them out then or just recombine into a fair new UN, seems necessary.

    Because the real power of the US isn't the ICC exemption or the UN SC veto, but their six thousand nukes and the biggest navy in the world.

    Would that have any result? Couldn't the US, being on the security council, simply veto whatever resolution was put forward?

    As an American, please do. Some humility would do us good.

    Imagine believing the US government thinks anyone has jurisdiction over them. Man the rest of this century is going to be CRAY.

    And show the world how much of a farce that organization is, and that there is no such thing as international law

    To be fair, laws are only as valid as the enforcement behind them. There's no such thing as a law that doesn't have force to back it up. Without the force it's just a request. Anyway, the UN was never to be a global governing body. No nation would give up its sovereignty to a global government.
