Ya know what, I think I am ok with punishing people leading war crime efforts. I sure do wonder what the party of “tough on crime” thinks about the ongoing genocide?
I wonder what mister crime bill, lock the S.O.B up, thinks of it… Oh wait I don’t have to wonder he just told us!
In 1989 […] Mr. Biden lamented that the Republican president, George H. W. Bush, was not doing enough to put “violent thugs” in prison. In 1993, he warned of “predators on our streets.” And in a 1994 Senate floor speech, he likened himself to another Republican president: “Every time Richard Nixon, when he was running in 1972, would say, ‘Law and order,’ the Democratic match or response was, ‘Law and order with justice’ — whatever that meant. And I would say, ‘Lock the S.O.B.s up.’”
I really hope we eventually get to a government that unanimously agrees that all life has value.
They do, it’s a monetary value. 200,000 dead Palestinians = Lockheed Martin line go up.
Maybe you should STOP AIDING THEM IN COMMITTING WAR CRIMES THEN???
They don’t mean in terms of aid.
The US has refused to submit themselves or their soldiers to international criminal law for a long time now, for plenty of other reasons.
Well to be fair, our government has done some war crimes. Maybe we should hear the ICC out on this one.

Because your government has laws that would shield its citizens from ICC persecutions. Because you know, your government feels above international humanitarian law.
When those arrest warrants are against your rivals (Putin) it is all fine and commendable, but when it is against you and your allies it is a despicable act. You see the double standards here?
War crimes are war crimes no matter the side that commits them. And trying to undermine international laws and institutions created with the whole idea to prevent humanity from making the same mistakes like in the past should be preserved and protected.
So basically the US government is a gigantic Trump - rising up in self-righteous fury at the very idea that anyone might dare to charge them for the crimes they’ve brazenly committed.
