EU rallies behind International Criminal Court after US sanctions four judges

The four judges in The Hague, all women, will be barred entry to the United States and any property or other interests in the world's largest economy will be blocked -- measures more often taken against policymakers from US adversaries than against judicial officials.

EU backs International Criminal Court after US sanctions judges

Trump's initial order announcing sanctions on the ICC also said that U.S. citizens who provide services for the benefit of sanctioned individuals could face civil and criminal penalties.

- Before anyone from the US gets a patriotic boner about invading the Hague, standing Frogeater policy is to glass Washington with a sub-launched nuke as a warning shot if shit gets real and a US president really thinks they can do that.
  The subs are in the Atlantic with the nukes right now.
  
  What if I'm from the US and get a boner for DC getting nuked because of our shitstain of a President and his spineless accomplices?
  (Apologies to the many fine residents of the DC area who mostly didn't vote for Trump)
  
  only washington?
  calculating pros and cons
  
  Frogeater
  What's this?
most people in the US were too distracted
By a blow up between the two biggest policy makers in the country arguing over a multi-trillion dollar budget bill?
Who could blame them?
- I don't blame them, I blame the 2 billionaires that likely created a reality TV inspired distraction
  
  I was explaining kayfabe to my wife yesterday...

Don't worry folks, the 125 party states were not distracted. Can't say if it will have consequences for the US or it's citizens but this is not going unnoticed.
Remember when Biden said he would block sanctions against the ICC but some guy on Lemmy insisted Biden actually wanted those sanctions so bad?
- I don't remember that at all
- Nope, never heard it. Must have been on lemmygrad, or one of the other tankie instances no one federates with.
  
  It may have just been a personal experience I had with someone I blocked.
