I'm pretty sure the US and UK aren't going to invade my country but they sure do talk about it a lot for someone who isn't at least seriously considering it
My 'I'm not planning on invading the Netherlands' shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.
Seriously, though, this isn't the first time?
Oh god no
The US notoriously has a law (usually dubbed The Hague Invasion Act) allowing their president to invade the Netherlands if any US imperial soldiers were to be detained by the ICC
Occasionally it'll come up and some US government official or senator or sth will go into the traditional American bloodrage and demand to invade if those sneaky anti-war crimes people at the ICC try anything. Most recently it happened when the chief prosector at the ICC requested arrest warrants for a few Israeli officials
The US will say "Sorry ICC. Israel is covered under our law. Also - fuck you." Emphasis mine.
ya, I don't remember the specific language they used in response to the warrant request but it was literally sth like 'an attack on Israeli sovereignty is an attack on US sovereignty'
For every country, at any given time the chances of an US invasion could be low, but they're never zero
