U.S. President Donald Trump faced criticism for his executive order sanctioning the International Criminal Court after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the subject of an ICC arrest warrant.

                Eyy i just got here idk what im doing lol. This instance does seem pretty shitlibby though, given it’s the most accessible off ramp from their usual haunts.

                All that to say, some of us anarcho-stragglers are here by accident, not trying to be associated with these clownshits though, been tryin to get away from them actually……

                  Go v00t about it in 4 years, numbnuts.

                  oh right, you don’t live in a democracy. Brunch is cancelled, time to get off your rocking horse and do something useful for once. Or sit here crying about it and blaming everyone else for your own failures

    Remember - everything Trump does is ultimately for his own benefit.

    This isn’t really about the charges the ICC has leveled against Netanyahu. Trump is trying to get out in front of the charges they’re inevitably going to end up leveling against him.

      Alternatively, this is repayment for Netanyahu’s work against Biden during the campaign and part of their corrupt dealings, committing genocide to set up a real estate development together.

        Possibly.

        Trump doesn’t give a ahit about Netanyahu, or Israel for that matter. But it is possible that Trump thinks he can gain by going to bat for Netanyahu. And yes - there is the background of the Trump families shady real estate dealings, and it’s possible that Netanyahu has a part to play in that.

        I still think it’s most likely though that Trump’s primary motivation is to do all he can to discredit and undermine the ICC, in the eyes of his delusional supporters at least, preparatory to the charges they’re inevitably going to end up leveling in response to his planned egregious violations of international law.
