It’s easy to see why the US is defending Israel over the ICC, the US never ratified the treaty that gives the ICC any political power and we ignore anything they do. It wouldn’t matter if it was Israel or George W. Bush or even Obama, we ignore everything they do.
They were all about supporting the ICC when they issued an arrest warrant for Putin. It just shows that the ‘rules based international order’ was always a sham. International law exists to give a legal veneer over the pure power politics that were always at play.
