    The US is not under the jurisdiction of the ICC. A court can’t rule outside of its jurisdiction so that would be the Hague acting illegally. The US like most other large countries are not signatory to the Rome Statute

      Iirc we signed but didn’t ratify like a lot of things. That said the icc doesn’t care, if you’re brought before them they will try you if need be.

        A court can’t just operate where it has no jurisdiction and the US, much like Russia and China are not in their Jurisdiction. Who in the ICC will hold a nuclear armed country accountable? Latin America and Europe? Same reason Putin will never go to the ICC.

          It can, the results do not need to matter in the country the person is from because they aren’t in that country.

          Yeah, no duh. We already went over this and I’m not sure why you’re not aware of that fact or seem to think you’re making a point.

            Because you are simply wrong. You keep insisting a court can operate where it has no jurisdiction and they “don’t care” both things are 100% completely wrong and false. This isn’t secret knowledge this is why I am telling you, but you keep insisting provably false information.

              They aren’t operating in America so they don’t need jurisdiction in America! The same way a court in New Zealand doesn’t need jurisdiction in Zimbabwe to try someone in hold your horses here… Fucking New Zealand! The Hague operates in the Netherlands and have jurisdiction in multiple signatory countries and again brace yourself… the fucking Netherlands you absolute brick skull.
