    More like the US would rather keep its territorial integrity. They have the ability to deal with violations in house, no need to have international boards be used against us.

      riiiiiiight, no bias at all in that. Hey, we investigated ourselves and found we are not liable to war crimes we commit abroad. how bloody fucking convenient.

      Good job at giving Russia an excuse to be free of consequences when it finally loses in Ukraine. They’re probably going to make a case that they don’t need to have international boards be used against them too, no?

        How would an international court be any less biased than a US court? Politics is politics just abiut everywhere.

      You can’t expect any country to take the international court seriously if you don’t do it yourself. The logic that you’ve just used is exactly the kind of logic that countries would use that don’t want to be held accountable for their actions that go against international law.
