So you’ve never heard of the American Service-Members’ Protection Act, known informally as the Hague Invasion Act enacted in 2002. Which protects American war criminals by invading the Hague if necessary.
Yeah, sure. If somehow Trump, or any other MAGA like Miller or Hegseth, ends up in the box at The Hague, there is no way that the military will crank up to rescue him. He’ll be on his own. There might be a lot of PedoCon squealing, but that will just be funny.
Trump and MAGA is really just showing what US has always been, which the country pretends not to be.
Jesus Christ… America needs to be bonked in the head until they start having some common sense.
