A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Is he afraid he could become the next target of an investigation/warrant of the ICC?
Anyhow the world is changing very quickly and nowadays not doing business with the united states or not using the dollar, is less and less of a problem.
I genuinely believe that conservatives hate the ICC because they know that the US would have to answer for all its crimes if the ICC had power over the US.

While I agree on the surface, these sanctions also include any American companies. You can’t use most email providers, because most are based in the US. You can’t use any debit or credit cards, because MasterCard and Visa are both American companies that will block your access. You can’t use any cloud storage providers, because they’re all American. You can’t have a Google account for your phone. You can’t even use a Microsoft account to log into your Windows PC.
And sure, lemmings will say that all of those are good things. We’re happy in our little “self-host everything, delete all the cloud accounts, avoid being tracked by any means possible, etc” bubble. But the average person barely even knows how to open a web browser, and panics when their password needs to be reset.
It basically forces you to live as a Luddite, because the vast majority of the internet, modern banking, etc will (at least tangentially) touch American commerce in some way. And the average person isn’t even close to being well-enough prepared for that kind of upheaval.
Israel and Russia really have him by the balls don't they?
honestly, he is so dumb they may have just buttered him up a bit
Epstein was working for Mossad, and Trump ran the exact same sort of child sex trafficking org, with Russian aid.
So yes, they have a lot of dirt on him, but he's also a narcissist. A very stupid and evil narcissist.

The approach towards the Netanyahu warrant is no change to US policy and law which explicitly lists Israeli government officials as an "covered allied person" who the US can use "all means necessary" to free from detainment or imprisonment by the ICC. It prohibits "support" of the ICC which includes provision of services.
So that predated Trump by quite a bit.
Personally, I'd like to see them try. Let the entire world see their corruption. Make it clear the USians are not allies of ours, not anymore.
Why isn't the existence of this law enough? It's been around since 2002. It's not like the other countries don't know about it, it came from failed negotiations with the US to join the Rome Treaty. They made their stance clear at that time.
What balls?
Epcot and Vegas?
So here in 2026, The US and Israel MUST be allowed to rape children and commit war crimes.
Criminals sanctioning justice
Irony has never been this painful
Sweeping sanctions could prohibit the court from carrying out transactions in dollars, cutting it off from the global financial system and drastically undermining its work
If only there was some other currency it could use such as the Euro or British Sterling which are also widely used worldwide.
Any entity-wide sanctions imposed by the U.S. Treasury would prohibit U.S. citizens and companies from providing funds, goods, or services to the court
I'm not seeing that as a problem as any government or organisation outside of the USA is already looking to reduce or eliminate entirely reliance on US tech,funding, goods and services.
Why are these people afraid of the International Criminal Court? Are they international criminals? 🤔
That warrant was created 2+ years ago. This seems a bit delayed.
It only just registered in the imbecile paedophiles, ahem, 'brain'.
Probably got lost in the spam filter waiting for approval at the evil league of evil.
What's ge gonna do? Rename it?
"And that's why today I've put a 5000% tariff on the ICC. Nasty people. And they are banned from my press conferences too."
I hope he kicks the UN out of the headquarters in New York and they say "you can't fire us, we quit"
Or he threatens to rename the UN unless they give into his demands and they say "that's funny, go away, grown-ups are talking"
Trump probably thinks the "United" of theUN is named after the USA...
Hello Americans! It's totally normal for innocent people to avoid their day in court. No red flags at all.
And it may be a matter of time we hear about a 'Trump arrest warrant' for bombing Iran illegally and speaking flippantly with threats against the ICC.
Flappity flap, always talks crap.
He's already sanctioning a number of ICC judges, apparently. US companies are legally barred from providing them any services, which has more impact than you might initially expect.
Wow. An international criminal protecting his international criminal ~~blackmailer~~ friend. Who woulda thunk?
Once again proving the US is not a sovereign nation.
Pedophiles protect one another
the esptein class flock together.
Can they issue one against Trump as well?
This is fascism. The United States is now a fascist country. If you didn't vote, or made some third party protest vote, you voted for fascism. Now there's no going back.
He would have to sanction the countries that support the ICC
It is the secondary sanctions that have the bite
That is like the definition of a great depression
A lot of the far right really hate Netanyahu, including some MAGA, so it will be interesting to see how this goes with them.
Pretty sure Trump could be added to the arrest list. If they're gonna be threatened, what's stopping them from adding him?
Send trump. I don’t think we would give enough of a shit to invade anymore.
Oh noooo, anyways
