      Nobody mentioned Trump. I am so fucking sick of liberals acting like the US wasn’t constantly attacking other countries before Trump.

      Trump and Putin sure, but also everyone whose ever had a leadership role in the USA military. Obama is still alive. Bush is still alive. And ideally to a more trustworthy court.

      I agree, but only one of those 2 countries has proclaimed (in law if im not mistaken, but i may be wrong) that they would intervene militarily to prevent one of their own from being tried by the ICC, regardless of the actual crimes they’ve committed. And im talking about sending special forces to extract said alleged criminal against humanity, from another sovereign nation, abiding by its own laws.

      Guess which of the 2 I’m talking about? Russia is by no means the good guy, but its not a binary issue, as most people on the internet seem to react when these 2 countries are mentioned in the same sentence. Russia being ‘bad’ doesn’t automatically make the US ‘good’ and vice versa.

      Sure, who’s worse shifts back and forth over the years, but to my eyes, currently, the US is worse, and its been that way for a long time. Way before trump. Anyone who thinks this all started when trump took office, is a bit deluded.

      But you’re 100% right, send both of them to the ICC, in an ideal world.

      They don’t fit in his luggage (or would be smashed) so that’s the easiest way to take them onboard. Maybe purchased as gifts to relatives.

    Americans don’t like the USA taking these actions (well until the big fat orange blob actual does them, then his base instantaneously flips their opinion to being for it)

      Yeah they do, they just claim afterwards that they didn’t. One Day Everyone Will Have Been Against This.

      I’m unsure on whether you’ll receive a notification for this message, but if you have a lot of time to kill and enjoy podcasts you might wanna check out Blowback season 1 which deals with Iraq and explains the broader context. So many American liberals (and definitely the establishment) wanted to invade Iraq and they did, but since it’s now considered to have been a bad thing so many liberals retroactively pretend they were always against it.
