Peter GleickUsing this logic, any country could invade Israel, capture Netanyahu, and bring him to the Hague to face his indictments by the International Criminal Court.
Justin Scholz@petergleick it also means he wants the rest of the world to adhere to US laws... But I guess we've already seen this logic back in the days with Colombia…
LastOfThem@petergleick If you're a fascist, getting away with something means you have the right to do it, simple as that. There is no rule of law, it's all just a tool.
Serge 🔻@petergleick didn’t they just pardon a major drug trafficker/head of state like last week? Is this just some kind of abduct/prosecute/convict/pardon/send home/profit scheme?
Knud JahnkeNo, it's just bullshit. On every level.
@knud @petergleick somehow Trump believes he personally will benefit from this mess, otherwise he wouldn’t be doing it, so it can’t all be bullshit.
How many media mentions about the contents of the Epstein Files today? Zero? There you go.
KaynThat was my thought too...release is getting close, no theories are plausible...Invade someone quick!
ˈdälfən™🐬 💥 🌊@xerge yes and seems so
corqI suspect the backroom bribe from Maduro simply didn't arrive in a timely fashion.
LightFIAR@petergleick And ditto for Trump, Putrin, mBS and a bunch of other 2-bit evil pieces of shit.
Jbrown, Esq@petergleick the whole thing is fabricated anyway. Every fascist president since Nixon has been acting on the Monroe Doctrine while trying to paint a picture of lawlessness in south america- invading and dominating and stealing resources for PROFIT. This has nothing to do with defense or drugs. General action now!!
Reay@petergleick Who gets to tell JD what his boss did for Juan Orlando Hernández a month ago?
@petergleick please?
Pēteris Krišjānis@petergleick that is not how international law works. But sure, good luck in court.
SamuelJohnson
auser@petergleick Not "any country", only countries which in fact can do it on the ground, literally getting away with it.
Jonathan Lamothe@petergleick What about a head of state who has multiple convictions in the US? Do they get to avoid justice?
Oh... I guess so.
Klaus Frank@petergleick same for Putin btw...
purple: licenced to sticky plaster@petergleick but that's not the same logic.
That would be violating sovereignty to enforce international order, something that has precedent.
What Trump's done is violate sovereignty to impose a (alleged) US law on another country.
The analogy would be to charge Netanyahu with fly tipping and invade to haul him before Luton Crown Court.
Big Kumera Energy@petergleick using this logic, Iran could kidnap the US President and have them executed for bombing them.
Daniel Lyons@petergleick He’s full of shit. He made the exact opposite argument last year complaining that UK was threatening to enforce UK laws on Americans for what they say on social media.
Patrick@dandylyons @petergleick The whole point of hypocrisy is to dunk on losers who care about what you say.
Michael Roberts@petergleick If Henry Kissinger were still alive, the same would apply to an invasion of the United States.
Aral Balkan@vivtek @petergleick Which is why USians passed the Hague Invasion Act (“American Servicemembers Protection Act”)
@aral @petergleick Huh. Now that you mention it, I remember that passing and the faint residue of age-old outrage. Seems quaint now.
humourmetom@petergleick And JD won't get to avoid prosecution for war crimes when he lives in Moscow
Baltergeist@petergleick
My first thought, too. The logic of that justification puts the current Administration, Cabinet and staff at risk of similar responses from non-US judicial entities.
Not holding my breath, but there's popcorn on hand, in case.

Alice. 🇨🇦Don’t try to justify what you have done.
Jimmy@petergleick Looks like Vance is securing his place in the RICO indictment.
Miakoda 
@petergleick Do Trump next!
stevenray@petergleick would approve.
derptron
Justin Derrick@crazyeddie @petergleick "Public Service Announcement" - basically an ad on television that addresses some sort of societal ill.
BenderIsGreat34@petergleick @benroyce Trump already told us it’s because of the oil but thanks for playing JD.
Dane Deasy@petergleick someone ask him why Trump keep pardoning drug traffickers then?
Sailor Anarres@petergleick or kim jong il could indict trump for any nonsense then have him abducted because he can't just ignore the law because he lives in america
Longspeak@petergleick I endorse this.
Class Wario@petergleick But not even to The Hague. To Syria. Or Iran. Or Ireland.
@petergleick Absolutely 💯
And just to any country who charges him with crimes and will try him according to the laws of that country.

JWcph, Radicalized By Decency@petergleick Also, half the world now has jurisdiction to arrest most of the Trump family. Also-also, it still isn't legal to use military force for law enforcement in this manner, neither inside the US nor outside.
Disisdeguey🔻PalestineAction🇵🇸@petergleick Wait, what? So they can come, for example, to Spain and kidnapped whoever they want if you had an indictment in #USrael??????
These idiots are living inside a Western movie or something.

Dimly Lit Corners@petergleick You assume reason and logic where none exists.
Only Trump/MAGA USA is allowed to do this.
Ps: Hasn't Israel been doing this since WW2 with war criminals?
chicating@petergleick Somebody do that--maybe some good will come from that whole mess.
Nice touch that JDV sounds like the worst internet commenter here...in another few posts I'm sure he could work in both "do your research" AND "Make me a sandwich. " Or both, because I'm nasty.

Aaron Brick — אהרן בריק@petergleick Ironically, Israel's treatment of Adolf Eichmann has set a sort of precedent for this behavior. (I expect to be seeing a lot of references to Hannah Arendt flying around shortly.)
Wulfy—Speaker to the machinestRump has an excuse for saying dumb shit being soft in the head and mentally ill.
Couchfucker on the other hand is just plain dumb.
Lightfighter@petergleick Extraterritorial Rendition.
I AM BANKSY ☕ / 🗑🔥@petergleick
Also following this logic, a criminal family living in a big white house in Washington DC ..

Terminally shyOr Gaza, for their Hamas 100% controlled government's invasion of Israel on October 7th, 2023.
Wherein the operatives of that 100% male governed theocracy murdered, raped, tortured and kidnapped, without any warning, the citizens of a nation, that, unlike the Islamic theocracy of Gaza, gave women (reminder: we are one half of the human race) the right to dress as we wanted, to be in public as we chose, to simply exist.
You really need to check your priorities.
su_liam@petergleick Sounds like a good plan. Why hasn’t it happened yet?
NagaramThey should
Hoi_Pollois🌻@petergleick If this were the case, then extradition policies would be unnecessary.
