      Americans don’t recognize the ICC when US military are the defandents…

      The United States signed the 1999 Rome Statute but it never ratified the treaty, taking the position that the International Criminal Court (ICC) lacks fundamental checks and balances.[1] The American Service-Members’ Protection Act of 2002 further limited US involvement with the ICC. The ICC reserves the right of states to prosecute war crimes, and the ICC can only proceed with prosecution of crimes when states do not have willingness or effective and reliable processes to investigate for themselves.

      It’s like with Netenyahu, someone has to comply and arrest them and take them to court, even then it’s debatable if the court would hold them for trial.

    Why are they calling it a drug boat? It was never verified as a drug boat.

    Why can they instead say “repeats falsehoods” instead of “lies” because of legal ramifications but can call this vessel a “drug boat” without any confirmation that it had narcotics on it?

    There is no room for non criminals in trumps administration. If it weren’t so pathetically inept it would be hilarious
