I'm pretty surprised too. Of all the countries, Germany is the only one that could get away with waffling on this due to the whole World War II thing. Like, it makes perfect sense that Germany wouldn't want to be critical of Israel
Man though, if even Germany is saying they'll execute this warrant, then no country can even pretend to have an excuse because the only country with any excuse is making a statement now
United States be like: 👨🦯
The US – like Russia and China and a couple more countries – doesnt recognize to the ICC.
Well almost all of the modern day presidents of the US are war criminals, why would they join the ICC?
Almost? All of the living ones are for sure.
Mostly so we can keep committing war crimes with impunity.
