dangerous precedent, where the US government shows complete disrespect of international law

With all due respect the US has been in open contempt of international law for the past 20+ years.

Guantanamo for example is completely illegal.

This isn’t simply a matter of Biden pleasing his donors, nor is it really about Biden in particular. This is the liberal international order working as designed, namely that the US makes the rules and orders everyone else around. Israel is a settler-colonial project of the Western imperial core, and it has been the US’ unsinkable aircraft carrier in West Asia for generations. As Biden has said throughout his career, “were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interest in the region.” The Hague Invasion Act has been on the books for over 20 years, so this is nothing new and has always been bipartisan.

this is creating a very dangerous precedent, where the US government shows complete disrespect of international law

Just to nitpick here, were decades beyond this particular precedent. It's just particularly blatant and hard for liberals to deny right now.

International law isn't real, never has been, and never will be until nation-state economic interests, or better yet, leaders of those states are arrested for violation.

isn’t there a single candidate that thinks more about the humans than for the money.

Yes, plenty.

Any of them that will be allowed anywhere near power?

No, none.

I totally agree, I just think this is purely posturing by Blinken. Policitally, Biden is on a tightrope here. He can't risk thumbing his nose up at Israel, and he can't risk pissing off any more young electors as you called them by being too soft on Israel. Sanctioning the ICC members would piss off a lot of those electors.

My first thought of a response to the top level post was:

(Narrator voice) They're not going to sanction shit here.

If anything, prosecuting him might even make Israel safer because this whole thing is serving as a recruitment campaign for Hamas or whatever replaces them if Israel manages to eliminate their current command structure.

.ml always have the most accurate geopolitical takes

Fucking hell. What monsters would propose ending food programs across the world just so one man can sit in power during a genocide?

He's a man, he can be replaced, he will be replaced eventually. Why are we going to piss off every country with a conscience for this goblin of a man with the military and political brainpower of a bowling pin?

Only thing this will do is fuel animosity towards the US.

Fuck me the USA has turned into Russia,

Always has been. There's a reason all meaningful Israel-related UN resolutions are 50+ years old.

Russia? Pure hyperbole
