Antony Blinken has indicated that he will work with American lawmakers on potential sanctions against the International Criminal Court after it sought arrest warrants for Israel’s prime minister and defence minister, setting the stage for a confrontation with the world court in the Hague.

    You sound confused. Nowhere in the article, the link summary, or my comment does anyone mention the US election. You’re assuming this jeopardizes the election which I have no basis to comment on. Maybe take a break from news for a while.

    Further, if the US administration thought this announcement could jeopardize the election that’s really on them to think through. As a regular schmuck I don’t really know what the impact of this announcement could be - but I applaud the ICC for not taking sides and calling war crimes what they are. Starving children to steal their land shouldn’t be acceptable no matter how much money you donate to politicians.

      My comment was more on the macro scale. I agree with you.

      No, neither you nor the article mention the election. It seems to me that this will have bearing on it though.

      There is no need for you to be condescending. I have not attacked you. Have a good day.

        Misunderstood, when you said “you” I thought you meant me individually not in the macro sense “you’z guys” or the Biden camp. Apologize I went straight to 100 on that because I thought for a moment I was getting turffed by a Zionist sympathizer and I have little patience for that shit recently.

          Thanks, reading back I was not very clear, as is often the case with me. No hard feelings.

      Yeaaaah they were not calling out you specifically… xD They’re saying: “Why would Biden do this?”
