It's more that, win or lose, the United States never had its sovereignty threatened by Afghanistan. They could potentially have continued supporting terrorists and lobbing attacks against the US, but the US government wasn't going to collapse because of it as long as they did literally anything.

Without that, it's pretty unlikely to see a major US politician in front of the ICC no matter how much they deserve to be there.

    The US had total air and naval superiority in Afghanistan, so them having a nuke is irrelevant.

    The US also did not "lose" in Afghanistan, but people always turn into dipshits when that's brought up.
