    This is one of the things any subsequent President could do to help restore international relations after this shit show.

    Repeal the Hague Invasion Act, re-sign the Rome Statute and submit it to the Senate for ratification as we should have done in the first place. It was signed under Clinton originally and the Hague Invasion Act was passed under Bush after 9/11.

    Allowing international oversight of war crimes tribunals against the US military would go a long way to help fix relations.

      an act like “we will invade if you charge any of us with warcrimes” is so obviously “we do war crimes…” lol. i hate this country
