if US political elites actually decided they "had" to deploy armed troops to the city functioning as the seat of government for the netherlands--a country that has demonstrated its total commitment to the capitalist western hegemony--to dissolve a court ruling by a high court of the UN (itself an institution developed by european leaders to legitimize themselves and their outsize role in the political economy of earth) it would mean The West has reached the end stage of its mortality spiral and officially imploded. without european vassal states, the client states of the US would disintegrate and the US itself would balkanize.

i mean, ask yourself, what would happen in your town if the heavily armed mayor ordered the heavily armed sheriff to arrest the heavily armed judge in the middle of a session for ordering the arrest of the mayor. now elevate that to an industrial war making scale.

i just don't think it would happen. i think a US president would theaten to do it and european elites would roll over to preserve the hegemony at the expense of the illusion.

Honestly IMO, if the US put its foot down, the Dutch and the rest of the Euros would invade the ICC themselves to spare their yankkkee overlords the hassle and bad PR.

I'm imagining a Ukrainian terror cell blowing up the ICC with an American-made bomb and everyone blaming Russia.

True, germany-cool is right next to the Nederlands and absolutely deranged in their support for the zionist entity, they'd gladly invade in such a scenario

the ICC is not part of the UN, the ICJ is part of the UN, they are both in the heague, but I think this threat is coming from the ICJ

Americans would invade all the courts in the Netherlands, just to be sure.
