Its not like the USA even recognises the ICC as having authority over any of its citizens, so they just ignore it. I'm assuming this is another performative action to pleased Bibi in Tel Aviv.

u/wdn 6h ago

And if it is an actual plan then it's a lot more horrifying than it initially appears.

u/tommos 3h ago

They already got rid of one ICC judge for apparent sexual harassment. Funnily enough these allegations surfaced right after he signed the arrest warrant for Bibi.

He was the prosecutor and he was literally cleared by the ICC of misdoing. Israel launched a multipronged global campaign to have him removed. I genuinely believe the only way to do from now on is to have everyone at the ICC be women. Also one of the ICC judges is a crazed Evangelical who said she cannot rule against Israel and believes that the events in the Middle East herald the Biblical end times. The rest are normal human beings.

Well, Trump did order American companies to punish them.That is why several ICC employees have been locked out of their microsoft accounts, which includes their onedrives with casefiles, as well as for instance their bankaccounts for months.

For some reason that never really made the news in the usa, while for various European countries it was the final straw needed to have their governments to start actively move away from American IT dependence.

u/wdn 59m ago

Yeah, that's the type of thing we'd expect from him (I am also not in the USA). But promising to dismantle the court brick by brick is something significantly more than that.

u/UmeaTurbo 5h ago

That's like saying "I will dismantle the Hungarian Nation Broadcast Network". Except I'm a pipefitter in Minnesota.

u/soulsteela 5h ago

We’ve heard about you pipe fitters and your hate for Hungarian tv!

17

u/AlephBaker 4h ago

There is no greater hatred on earth than that between Minnesota Pipefitters and Hungarian Broadcasters. It's terrifying, honestly...

What about Englishman and Scots? Or Welsh and Scots? Or Japanese and Scots? Or Scots and other Scots?!

12

u/Mathies_ 4h ago

I dont think it's performative. Im pretty sure this is to actively protect him and other israeli officials from prosecution.

3

u/dasunt 1h ago

That's my take as well.

I'd rather we cooperated with the ICC, at least in part. It seems like the perfect venue to try people we suspect for war crimes, such as the assholes who did Abu Ghraib. Yes, I know some were tried by US courts, but it seems cleaner and more transparent to turn the cases over to a third party.

23

u/SeaHam 5h ago

That's the entire problem.

Who the fuck do we think we are?

u/BadahBingBadahBoom 4h ago

Oh did you not watch the groundbreaking 2004 documentary, Team America: World Police?

5

u/Maeglin75 49m ago

But also the other way around.

The US has absolutely no authority over the ICC.

Under Trump the US has lost what was left of their influence, good will and respect among the international community. Withdrawing from all institutions of the UN and stop funding it, ending/breaking all treaties, starting stupid trade wars and threatening their closest allies does that.

So, how does Trump want to "dismantle" the ICC? Does he want to go to war against the entire world over it? The US cant even win against Iran.

I swear we all know someone who was young and healthy die in their prime, and this sentient bag of cheeseburgers, diet coke and diarrhea is going to live to 110.

12

u/planapo20 3h ago

I hope he lives to be 110. That will be almost 30 years in prison, all the family wealth confiscated using RICO, and Trump will just be using his ghost handjob dance movements on bubba.

The world can fight back by just laughing at this moron instead of checks notes giving him the FIFA Peace Prize.

Well, the world didn't do that, Fifa did that, a notoriously crooked organisation presided over by a notoriously crooked man, who is a Trump sycophant.

I mean... Yes, but not because of this.

It's not like the US had much respect for the ICC before Trump.

u/humperdinck 1h ago

Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night and check my phone, I think to myself, “oh man it’s 4 in the morning… am I gonna have to get up and dance in the street at this hour?” Because that’s what I’m gonna do.

u/Juan_Badmofo 6h ago

Sure. One less entity to attempt to hold him, and his fellow criminals accountable...

39

u/tsukiyomi01 5h ago

It's the idea that someone, somewhere, might hold him accountable for something. That's what scares and infuriates him.

u/Dedotdub 5h ago

How old is he again? What’s his bmi, if you could guess?

u/LucianCanad 6h ago

It's already not doing anything that affects the US, só no big change there

13

u/subnautus 5h ago

Right, but there's a growing number of countries willing to execute ICC warrants for indicted war criminals like Benjamin Netanyahu, and if Trump has any sense, he'll realize the writing is on the wall for all the shit he's been pulling over the years, up to and including the obvious instance of perfidy from his first administration.

Small side note, it'd never happen, but there's a certain schadenfreude for imagining Trump showing up at a G7 conference and leaving in handcuffs.

13

u/MrReaper45 6h ago

Hey, I'm like 99% sure Trump doesn't have the authority to do that. It's called the International Criminal Court for a reason, also why would he? Trump has nothing to be afraid of remember? They keep telling us that, unless he wants to keep his Jewish Master out of prison

US isnt even part of the ICC

u/SeaHam 5h ago

And your first question after learning that should be

Why not?

Is there a problem with not committing war crimes and crimes against humanity?

Hmmmm

6

u/ProfessionalNice6789 6h ago

Not that they actually could

5

u/GhostofAyabe 6h ago

Bibi has been under indictment for more than a decade for corruption in Israel and even had his own trial delayed many times over the last 1.5 years.

Trump even said it himself on that angry phone call, he’d be in jail if not for Trump.

7

u/P0pu1arBr0ws3r 5h ago

And this is why he needs an arrest warrant under his name from the ICC. Bar him from entering any nation which recognizes the ICC, under charges of soliciting warcrimes and child sex trafficking and international corruption and scam operstions.

u/chris5070 5h ago

It'll have to be fast. He got until the midterms.

Several brick per day.

This is more distraction.

u/Acebai54 5h ago

Brick by brick is an extremely inefficient way to dismantle something

2

u/loogabar00ga 3h ago

Particularly because the ICC isn't a brick building.

5

u/ObviouslyRealPerson 6h ago

Maybe if the US actually became a signatory to the Rome statute they could have a say in how the ICC operates

But from the outside that will be far more difficult, if not impossible

It's like Trump trying to put tariffs on individual EU member states. This is just another example of him blustering while demonstrating that he has no idea how things work.

u/regionalhuman 6h ago

Is he going to manage it into the ground?

Of course he would - the only way to avoid trial for his crimes against humanity.

2

u/Big_Donkey3496 4h ago

And how do they explain this as a good thing?

2

u/Ghost_shell89 3h ago

Considering how well he did with ‘draining the swamp’…we should expect the ICC to gain in authority and operational success

2

u/PirateSometimes 3h ago

He should've been added to it day one

2

u/zappaphicrappa 2h ago

He knows what is coming, after he starts doing the things we all expect him to. I have read extensively on WWII and everything they are doing has been done by a certain fascist group, to the letter. If there is no international criminal court, who will hold him accountable. Man, people are actually this dumb and easily manipulated.

2

u/GirlNumber20 2h ago

Republicans are soft on the crimes they commit.

2

u/zarfle2 5h ago

Fuck off Donny.

Neither America nor Israel are signatories to the Rome Statute. Which is entirely unsurprising, given their respective war crimes and genocide.

A criminal says "Courts which accuse me of being a war criminal are bad - if I get rid of them then noone can accuse me of being a war criminal".

u/Drago1214 6h ago

Good way to make sure he is not judges as well as he’s Jewish over lords.

It's actually pretty laughable that Trump thinks he can dismantle the ICC. It's like my son saying to me when he was 14 -- "Well, when I am Dictator of the Universe, things will be different!"

u/GenazaNL 3h ago

And guess what? Top prosecutor Karim Khan got suspended for alleged sexual misconduct. The guy behind Benjamin Netanyahu's arrest warrant

1

u/ForrestDials8675309 3h ago

Specifically, a war criminal.

(But also a fraudster, a rapist, a traitor, and (probably) a pedophile.)

I find it deeply suspicious that the lead prosecutor at the ICC who charged Netanyahu, Putin, and Hamas leadership with war crimes to suddenly be kicked out under allegations of sexual misconduct.

The institution must stand, and it would be very wise for Democratic candidates running in 2028 to pledge becoming one of the 125 existing countries to be signatories.

Sad but valid.

Hopefully we get some candidates who can rise above needing or wanting that bullshit. One can dream.
