Do you all remember that the International Criminal Court has already issued arrest warrants for war crimes for Netanyahu and Gallant?
Seems like similar charges could be drafted for Trump and Hegseth.

@petergleick do I remember correctly that the ICC issued similar warrants against “W”, but the USA isn’t a signatory to the ICC

@StOnSoftware @jadp @petergleick That doesn't matter. Any judge and anyone helping him will be put under US sanctions. In the best case scenario. And no country will want to execute this warrant for fear of reprisals.

@jadp @petergleick nor is Israel! The important point is did the alleged crime involve a signatory. Palestine is a full member, but Iran is merely a signatory who has not ratified the treaty. I'm unclear if that permits it to act. Can some international lawyer clarify?

@jadp @petergleick The US is not a signatory, and W even signed into law what is commonly referred to as the “Hague Invasion Act,” allowing the President to use use “all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court.”
