Honestly, that is when you start the prosecution of Trump…This is a sign that the US Government is flailing about like an absolute loon, these homegrown fascists have a lot to lose if Trump is properly prosecuted.
I don’t think the ICC wants the US to invade them.
I don’t think the US government will be stupid enough to make themselves the proper enemy of the world.
Have you seen the current administration?

Umm, have they? I think all of the victims of their extrajudicial killings, crimes against humanity, piracy, and suborning genocide might differ in their opinions.
Oh I think some in the US are delusional enough to think they can take the entire world.
What are we going to do, stop invading ourselves?
For realsies, though, as an American, it’s hard to comprehend just how massive and far-reaching our military is. We are a terrifying threat to all mankind.
