The American Service-Members' Protection Act of 2002, also known as the "Hague Invasion Act", gives the President of the U.S. legal authority to invade the Netherlands to free detained U.S. service members imprisoned by the International Criminal Court.
His chain of thought has a length not beyond his nose. It's typical for dementia, and I have to see it all the time with my parent. Only the very last sentence is kept in mind, all other context is mostly gone.
I wish a reporter would ask him what question he heard and answered, because I'm sure he would be unable to correctly answer.
icc is as strong as it can enforce its strength, if no one can challenge you, you don't play by the same rules everyone else do. Pretending otherwise is asking for trouble.
Yes? Nation-states like the US (and China) are more powerful than any international organization and power dictates what happens in international relations.
I’m not saying it’s right, I’m just saying it is what it is.

I feel dumb but how is this related?
I think it's an oblique threat. Just recently Trump made a direct threat on the bond markets.

So America thinks its above the ICC then?
Explains a lot, lmao.
A lot of countries never recognized ICC's jurisdiction over them, USA included.
Russia, China, Indonesia, Turkey, Pakistan and India are also non-signatories, among many others. The ICC exists mostly for political statements.
