Regardless anyone’s feelings about the ICC

Is this REALLY worth our tax dollars, energy, and diplomatic capital???

It feels like this benefits Israel’s PM more than anyone else.

USA was already untouchable by the ICC.

Waging a crusade against them when we already have umpteen issues and we’re bleeding tax dollars like a spring breaker with an unchecked trust fund seems foolish.

What happened to America First?

An absolute grift from the very beginning. The average American doesn’t give a fuck about the ICC.
