Except the US isn't subject to the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. There will be no justice unless it's internal.

Dead serious about this bsky.app/profile/jcol...

Seems like that is where someone needs to build a giant detention center.

Pete Hagueseth, is that a thing

I don’t think we should rely on international law to bring these criminals to justice. They need to be tried in an American court and convicted by an American jury. We need to take out our own trash if we’re gonna give forward as a country.

We would have to have elected officials that would choose to sign on to that, and unless we have a historic turnover in both party and ideology, that does not seem likely. But, it does seem more likely that we are headed into historic times then not.

First we prosecute and convict and THEN we remand to Den Hague

onedominoaway.com/the-nurember... America & War Crimes America is not a signatory to the ICC America does not belong to the ICJ America Exempted itself from The Nuremberg Structure The Hague - holds no jurisdiction over America The Hague - has no teeth against America

because the philippines hasn't promised to invade the hague if they house their criminals. it's literally the law in the US that we will do that.

One of my firestorm beliefs is that Tom Cotton and Pete Hegseth, amongst other people in power, are psychopaths who kill for fun.

I don't think it is because the next republican administration will invade the netherlands to release them. It's just not a tenable thing to ask them to house our prisoners given the political situation here and our military power. they would have to be tried and imprisoned here.

There are jurisdictional issues, but I think they're probably overstated. We, or Iran, or any other country, can submit a 12(3) declaration to the ICC recognizing their jurisdiction over particular crimes over a particular period. We could even extend jurisdiction back to 2002.
