> Rubio invoked images of US border patrol agents and elected leaders being “dragged before an international court” and tried by judges from around the world
Astounding hypocrisy. The combination of these words with this administration's actions could only occur at the highest level of hubris and narcissism.
I'm sure they are aware that they are doing precisely the same, but just want no interference to their actions.
And most importantly, they do it to help the actual leader of the US: Netanyahu.
He is openly admitting they plan to commit war crimes and break international law - which is already provides a fairly low bar. That is what that is.
US border patrol agents and elected leaders are actively breaking human rights and plan to do more of that. Therefore, they need to dismantle international court as it is risk to their planned violence and cruelty.
ICC please allow US to do war crimes, k thanks
