America is not a member of ICC, time that changed, if calling for war crimes prosecutions.

Isn’t President Biden handicapped for credibility in calling anything in any country in any circumstances a war crime?

Remember the thousand civilians killed when an America missile exploded in the basement of a civilian shelter during the criminally initiated with fake news Iraq war? America is immune from jurisdiction of any nation or entity from an investigation as to if that was a war crime. Pentagon concluded it for sure was not, tho.

Or when thousands of soldiers in the Iraqi forces were retreating from Kuwait and were slaughtered on the road, completely helpless? Pentagon investigation… also not war crime! Look away! Many more examples.

Sorry, but that’s the truth.

America…Join the International Court of Justice and give your voice there…or your voice seems rather hypocritical.

Sorry, all these truths…tho will be not be mentioned much in media anywhere.

With that outcome determined, doesn’t make much sense spend much time on the subject.

Not that we shouldn't strive to improve and participate more in international cooperation - but some nations will remain skeptical.

Things in the world are better than in the past. Hopefully, they continue on that trajectory.
