Seems like similar charges could be drafted for Trump and Hegseth.

@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 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.”

@petergleick
I hope that they'll get their mails off Microsoft and (financial) affairs in order before.
@petergleick sigh

@petergleick I mean ... most of the western world already undermined the authority of the ICC by simply not caring about the arrest warrants for Netanyahu ... the US still holds effective world power, no country would even bother too reply to it. I guess most nation western nation leaders would event criticize the ICC for the decision.
So on the one hand, ICC would undermine itself with it. On the other: Maybe that leads to more people seeing through that our institutions are just succumb to the goodwill of the nations that hold the power.
