Runty Marco Rubio wants to end the international criminal court so the Trump administration can violate international law without fear of future prosecution.

Marco Rubio launches campaign to dismantle international criminal court

Runty plans to pressure other nations to help:

The state department plan to “dismantle” the ICC will involve pressuring other nations to abandon the court, according to CNN. “Nations that refuse to reject the ICC’s false authority while relying on US assistance are likely to come under increased scrutiny,” an official told the outlet, adding that possible punishments could involve sanctions, travel bans and visa revocations.

The goal is obvious:

“The ICC is not claiming jurisdiction over conduct in the United States,” said Kenneth Roth, former executive director of Human Rights Watch. “Rubio is dressing up his quest for impunity for American war crimes under the label of national sovereignty, which ignores the sovereign right of other nations to invoke the ICC for crimes committed on their territory.”

The international court, headquartered in The Hague, can only investigate crimes committed in states that are party to the Rome statute, the 2002 treaty that established the ICC. The United States has not ratified the treaty, nor has the court opened investigations into crimes committed on American soil.

“Trump wants to be able to commit war crimes on the territory of countries that have accepted the court’s jurisdiction – that’s what this is about,” Roth said.

All authoritarian-ruled nations want the same thing:

“It is not the ICC that Rubio is dismantling brick by brick – but the rules-based international order that grew out of the ashes of world war two.”

Today, Rubio made a speech trying to demonize people who disagree with Trump, and pledged to use the government power to persecute them.

“They despise the west because the west is great,” he said. He called leftists “an encroaching darkness” and “the enemies of civilization”.

“We will dismantle these networks brick by brick,” he added.

He made up some other dumb shit too:

Rubio also attempted to link disparate groups together. “Iranian proxy networks”, he said, “are increasingly intimately tied to leftist militant groups around the world”.

Weirdo Stephen Miller was also there.

Rubio and Miller both cited a presidential memorandum from last year, called “National Security Presidential Memorandum-7” as a blueprint that facilitates a war against leftists and leftist violence, but it is unclear how much weight of law it had.

It's totally on point for MAGATs to threaten anyone who disagrees with their dear supreme leader. But, something something 'State's Rights'.

I’ve been trying to make this point for a while now:

Islamofaacists and nihilistic anarchists are NOT the ACTUAL LEFT / ACTUAL DEMOCRATS / MODERN LIBERALS.

Islamofascists and nihilistic anarchists have a fuckton more in common with the Christofascists and nihilistic "populists" (MAGAts) than any other "ideology".

And that ^ explains why many of those Islamofascists and nihilistic anarchists either VOTED FOR DONOLD & THE MAGAT REPUBLICANS IN 2024 or undermined President Biden, Vice President Harris, and the decent, intelligent Democratic Party.



WE. TOLD. THEM. SO.

The Confederacy OPPOSED states rights. They fought to make it illegal for slavery to be abolished.
