They're only coming for Americans if they are committing crimes. No criminal activity: no reason to feel threatened. If you don't want to get on the ICC's radar, don't commit crimes, and, yes, that includes crimes under internaional law.

The trump administration has completely lost their minds, they think they can convince non evil countries to go along with their oppression and their fascism. Other countries are not with them and they think your nuts.
Completely deluded.

Who does Rubio want to protect? His two war-criminal bosses, Netanyahu and Trump.
@
Trump Rubio and other goons are certainly peoples with guilty conscience, and afraid 1 day the ICC will come on knocking for shooting down boats in Atlantic and Pacific, killing more then 100 peoples.
@
He wouldn't be scared of the ICC if he was sure no crimes against Humanity or war crimes were commited by americans.

They want to dismantle the ICC because Trump & Rubio have murdered 200+ people in speed boats.
@
Rubio’s attack on the ICC is because the ICC will charge Rubio for his crimes. Rubio is selfishly trying to take down international courts because he and so many republicans have broken so many laws. Trump can’t pardon his way out of ICC convictions.

America was too strong to destroy from the outside. But it is proving much easier to destroy from within. Sad.
@
Ohhh, if only we in the USA DID belong to the ICC. We seriously need SOMEONE looking into our government. Apparently we're not able or willing to do it ourselves!

The American people need to start looking at their government.
@
Stop trying to normalise US war criminals - the question that should be discussed is why is the ICC so slow to issue arrest warrants for them.

The USA is up to its naval in blood and genocide.
@
Attacking lawyers and judges is fashionable with this administration. It isn't a surprise
@
The ICC should come for Dementia Don, Hegseth, Patel, Rubio, Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir etc...

Now why would the stooge of the dude who threatened to obliterate a civilization want to dismantle the International Criminal Court?
@
America isn't even pretending to not be the bad guy any more.
@
If they've done nothing wrong they have no need to worry.
So they must be absolutely kacking their kecks in panic 😮

Yeah, war criminals and justice don't mix too well.

Absolute scenes! Watching Burnham’s climb all the way to No.10 is a proper result. The digital game clearly paid off for him here. Who do you reckon will be the first big move of his premiership? Let me know who you're backing!
