Except that if the ICC issues arrest warrants for US officials, then any country that is subject to the court, is now obligated to arrest those people if they ever set foot in those countries.
It creates a rather inconvenient conflict of interest amongst US allies. Do they fulfill their obligations to the court? Or do they look the other way, and allow international criminals to walk free in their country?

That’s already failed because I’m pretty sure that several countries have said that they won’t arrest Netanyahu.
You’re also forgetting that the US has a law that says they would invade the Hague if any American soldier or official is arrested. Also the way the bill is written they would also do it if Netanyahu was arrested since it mentions allies too.

Oh, shit. You’re right…I did forget about that. That’s so unbelievably fucked up.
Yep.
Like I was saying, it’s not just trump is doing it, it’s that it’s one of the few things that doesn’t directly benefit him.
Either he got bribed to do it for Bibi, or Bibi just fucking elder abused him again and fucking lied and said Trump could be tried under the ICC.
Either way it’s extra fucked even for 2026.
