    This is fascism. The United States is now a fascist country. If you didn’t vote, or made some third party protest vote, you voted for fascism. Now there’s no going back.

    A lot of the far right really hate Netanyahu, including some MAGA, so it will be interesting to see how this goes with them.

    And it may be a matter of time we hear about a ‘Trump arrest warrant’ for bombing Iran illegally and speaking flippantly with threats against the ICC.

    Sweeping sanctions could prohibit the court from carrying out transactions in dollars, cutting it off from the global financial system and drastically undermining its work

    If only there was some other currency it could use such as the Euro or British Sterling which are also widely used worldwide.

    Any entity-wide sanctions imposed by the U.S. Treasury would prohibit U.S. citizens and companies from providing funds, goods, or services to the court

    I’m not seeing that as a problem as any government or organisation outside of the USA is already looking to reduce or eliminate entirely reliance on US tech,funding, goods and services.

    He would have to sanction the countries that support the ICC

    It is the secondary sanctions that have the bite

    That is like the definition of a great depression
