US sanctions International Criminal Court officials

[Thermodolia]

unlawful orders are followed all the time, hence the 'war crimes' those ungrateful little shits in Kabul are complaining about.

Still, those yankees are still going to incur the wrath of many nations.

Europe will not just "sit there and whine".

Except that’s exactly what Europe does because tbh they don’t give a fuck about international law either. I know france doesn’t. Ya know the nation which blew up a green peace vessel

Yeah, we will.

Europe remembers what having a war rage across a continent looks like, America doesn't.

that was a good war, against a proper enemy.

[Fartsniffage]

Say it to a Pakistani. It's the British equivalent of nigger.

dunno if you know but the US is not the UK.

And you're on an international forum. So be nice.

unlawful orders are followed all the time

Why should this hypothetical one be followed? Are you saying US-state sponsored terrorism is good?

hence the 'war crimes' those ungrateful little shits in Kabul are complaining about.

Yes, war crimes, things that tend to be pretty no bueno. We had a whole thing about that 75 years ago.

was anyone prosecuted for sinking the wilhelm Gustloff?

and do what?

bomb Ramstein and throw the american public into a frenzy that 'they killed our boys!'?

We also have the capability to turn North America into a glowing parking lot. And all our missiles are sub based so no guarantee you'd get to strike back.

You should remember that.

[Insaanistan]

Did Loben seriously put war crimes in quotes? As if they don’t happen in Afghanistan?

[Vassenor]

Remember, the US can never be at fault and hates having to play by the same rules as everyone else, it seems.

war crimes dont apply to insurgents in my view.

Depends on if it’s state sponsored terrorism or not. One could definitely argue that sending special forces to the Hague to defeat America’s enemies wouldn’t be state sponsored terrorism.

you want that on our conscious go right ahead, knowing your people it'd be guilt tripping and borderline suicidal self hatred for decades.

And we also have second strike capability so London and the rest of the UK would also be a glowing wasteland

In this case nobody really plays by the same rules. The ICC only has jurisdiction in certain areas of the world

It would be state sponsored terrorism, you’d be basically gunning down a bunch of civilians for petty political reasons, and not for anything particularly substantial.

[New yugoslavaia]

Let's just saying attacking Hague would be a dick move.
Don't do that.
ICC aren't terrorists.

[Insaanistan]

So everyone in Afghanistan is an insurgent? Because there are reports of some soldiers shooting civilians knowing they’re civilians.

European nations do care about international law, exactly like the US does. We have our own reputations that we want to protect, our own interests that we're pursuing.

and they should be prosecuted by US, not the ICC.

You could definitely say that “the ICC is a terrorist organization and a threat to American national security and her interests. We had to act with force to defeat this threat”

And don’t say nobody would buy that either, remember we lied our way into Iraq, we could definitely lie our way out of this one.

[Fartsniffage]

Remember, the US can never be at fault and hates having to play by the same rules as everyone else, it seems.

In this case nobody really plays by the same rules. The ICC only has jurisdiction in certain areas of the world

And the crimes they are investigating occurred in an area where they have jurisdiction.

[New yugoslavaia]

European nations do care about international law, exactly like the US does. We have our own reputations that we want to protect, our own interests that we're pursuing.

Like not allowing foreign special forces to murder their own citizens.
Besides, the US is the aggressor in this situation. They sanctioned the ICC, not the other way around.

we also bombed Serbia for Kosovo for some harebrained reason too.

Why? If an American kills someone in France then they are prosecuted under French law.

European nations do care about international law, exactly like the US does. We have our own reputations that we want to protect, our own interests that we're pursuing.

I mean, if we cared about international law like the US does, that would mean we don't give a fuck about it and we would penalise international courts for not acting like our bitches.
