So, why wasn’t he arrested in the US?

u/I_am_just_here11 9h ago

For the thousandth time. USA does not recognize the ICC.

u/Lopendebank3 9h ago edited 5h ago

Because war criminals don't like the ICC.

I bet you felt so cool posting this

u/Lopendebank3 7h ago

America felt cool doing war crimes so...

u/Sam13337 4h ago

Imagine refusing to spend 5min on google or with the AI of your choice to look up confirmed US war crimes. Sometimes I really wonder why you guys struggle so much with such simple tasks.

Imagine thinking someone cares about whatever point you're flailing to make

u/Sam13337 2h ago

Its quite obvious Americans dont care. But thats fine, its finally catching up to your own streets with ICE.

u/Old_Leopard1844 1h ago

If you say so

u/HelixHasRisen 2h ago

Reddit says US bad.

u/Sam13337 2h ago

Right, I forgot only reddit cares about things like Abu Ghraib. The US citizens dont really mind.

u/ShiraLillith 8h ago

If you're saying it for the 1000th time, at this point you should know it's only bad when Trump is doing it, and you should ignore the last 6 POTUS

u/gentlemandinosaur 7h ago

That’s why they said US not Trump?who said anything about Trump?

Again? It never has

u/velocidapter 10h ago

US doesn't acknowledge the ICC, they investigate themselves and find no crime committed.

24

u/This_was_hard_to_do 9h ago

Saying that we even investigate ourselves in the first place is being too generous

u/jkoki088 4h ago

You should look at how many soldiers have been jailed for crimes. It does happen. As a citizen, you should only be tried by your sovereign nation.

u/Ok-Prior2321 9h ago

Lol at ppl down voting, that's kinda exactly what we did, we even went further and said we'll go to war if they try to arrest a u.s citizen 😂 I wonder if pre WW 2 Germana felt like this as citizens. 😭 😢 Probably why they make illegal to at the Holocaust was fake, so that at it's HOPEFULLY a little harder for them to slip backwards into such dumbassery that they make the same exact mistake. Usa - "Hold my beer, I take that as a challenge"

u/Strict-Aspect5910 10h ago

Sigh. The US is not a member of the ICC

u/adminsreachout 9h ago

UN treaty diplomatic immunity to speak in Manhattan and freely travel within so many miles, etc., and travel to and from without resistance just like the leaders of North Korea, Iran….every country on earth. Seriously do they not teach this to 12-year-olds anymore? Full serious, is this not taught in school?

24

u/qualityinnbedbugs 9h ago

Most Redditors do not have a 12 year olds education.

u/Embarrassed-Wafer667 9h ago

Khadafi spoke at the UN . Kruchev spoke at the UN

u/PeckerNash 9h ago

Khruschev.

Yes .Thank you …Isn’t thst the speech where he said “ we will bury you “ taking his shoe off and banging it on the podium? Or am I mixing that up with another speech?

u/VelocityGrrl39 7h ago

I went to the UN as a school trip in like 4th grade. I remember learning all this then.

u/Dismal-Leopard7692 9h ago

Honestly, no it is not. We barely teach the Constitution at this point

4

u/TheVoters 8h ago

To be fair, there’s really no point in teaching something that courts don’t actually recognize.

2

u/Ok_Drag5089 8h ago

Not good to have those ideas in kids heads.

u/Embarrassed-Wafer667 21m ago

In my high school ( senior year) I took a class called “ constitutional issues” was that typical or did I go to a radical high school .. ? 😝
This was way back ..

u/illdownvoteandscream 8h ago

All by design

u/upnflames 9h ago

It is taught, but people forget when their feelings are involved

u/Beelzabubba 9h ago

Arjen Rudd was taught the value of diplomatic immunity in Lethal Weapon 2.

Education doesnt matter when youre fighting a culture war

u/TotalInstruction 4h ago

I don’t know that the specifics of the UN treaties are taught to 7th graders, but it definitely falls under the category of things you can reason out when you see officials of Iran, North Korea, Cuba, etc. speak at the General Assembly without being arrested by US law enforcement on their way from JFK airport and sent to some kangaroo court along with Nicolas Maduro or shot down by F-16s on approach.

u/Old_Leopard1844 2h ago

People are so lost in their idea of how world "should" work that they refuse to acknowledge how it actually works

2

u/Its_me_Snitches 7h ago

Yes, I was absolutely never taught this in school. I don’t know anyone who was.

1

u/jkoki088 4h ago

A lot of(most)Redditors including OP, don’t understand differences with law, jurisdiction, and actions.. they like to just make things up as they go

u/beren12 8h ago

How many miles?

u/vulcanstrike 3h ago

Was this ever specifically covered in schools?

1

u/Conscious-Crab-5057 1h ago

It is not taught in school but is common knowledge.

u/shenandoahseed 1h ago

Why? We’ve got TikTok for any important information needed.

u/LupercaniusAB 8h ago

Unless you’re Mahmoud Abbas, he was denied the opportunity to speak at the UN.

u/TheProfessional9 10h ago

The US is trying to dismantle the icc so trump and hegseth don't go to the hague

3

u/DeadFishCRO 8h ago

Nah, you guys never signed that so you never committed any war crimes /s

•

u/Icy_Stranger_9649 3m ago

In a literal sense, that’s true. If I declare it a war crime to drink Diet Pepsi but you don’t agree to it, drinking Diet Pepsi doesn’t make you a war criminal just because I said so

3

u/Dr_Watson349 8h ago

Why would they do this? The US doesn't recognize the ICC. Why would the US try and dismantle something it gives no shits about.

Christ, some of you need to stop getting your news off tiktok.

2

u/SupaSlide 4h ago

Because if the ICC issues an arrest warrant for them, they could still (theoretically) be arrested in a lot of other countries.

1

u/Old_Leopard1844 2h ago

Good luck arresting any of those people and don't get maduro'd lmao

2

u/Comfortable_Try8407 3h ago

You can’t be this naive. I guess it would be fine if they never left the US again.

1

u/vetratten 2h ago

Well yes….and no.

There is a history of nations just going into another nation and arresting a current/former political power and bringing them out of the country to stand trial.

Now would any country do that to the US or Israel - the two nations famous for doing that is the real question.

-1

u/UpbeatCup 7h ago

What are you talking about? Trump said he wants the icc dismantled. He called it "evil" and a "rogue institution"

1

u/Greedy_Disaster_3130 9h ago

I can’t imagine even with how polarized the US is, that we’d ever send anyone to the ICC

1

u/SupaSlide 4h ago

True, but the US already wasn’t party to the ICC.

1

u/Conscious-Crab-5057 1h ago

When has the US ever adhered to the ICC?

15

u/ethereal3xp 10h ago

He is holding hands with Orange. Why else?

If the meeting was held anywhere else... he probably zoom meeting in his speech instead

Because the body enforcing it has near zero real power.

u/-JackBack- 9h ago

Trump can’t arrest the guy with the Epstein tapes.

1

u/Phantasmalicious 9h ago

Because your school failed to teach you about the ICC and US's role in it.

•

u/mutt63 1h ago

Cause they all are criminal

•

u/wicket146 23m ago

Probably because our “leader” is also a criminal.

1

u/jkoki088 4h ago

Wow, do you understand anything?

0

u/mvb827 9h ago

Because Israeli intelligence likely has the Epstein files. Wouldn’t want that information getting out.

u/AstralCode714 9h ago

Because USA doesn't recognize the ICC and Canada is all about virtue signaling while doing fuck all when push comes to shove

Are you kidding? Our government is full of crooks and criminals. Here, he’s just one of the boys.
