Marco Rubio Goes Full 'Rules Don't Apply' on the ICC
The US State Department is back at it, trying to bench the International Criminal Court like it’s a bad referee in a sports movie.
So, Marco Rubio Rubio just announced sanctions against the ICC’s head, Tomoko Akane Akane, and their senior lawyer, Abdoulaye Seye Seye. Apparently, if you try to investigate American officials or their allies like Benjamin Netanyahu Netanyahu, you get a one-way ticket to being blacklisted by Washington.
The move relies on a handy executive order from Donald Trump Trump. It’s not just a slap on the wrist; it freezes their assets and stops them from touching anything American. The goal here is essentially to dismantle the court's reach entirely. The logic is that no American should ever be dragged to court abroad, regardless of what they’ve actually done.
It’s a bold look for a global superpower to just decide that international law is a suggestion that only applies to everyone else. The world is watching, and honestly, the hypocrisy is thick enough to cut with a knife.
