- National Security Adviser John Bolton delivered remarks at the Federalist Society in Washington, DC. He criticized the authority and legitimacy of the International Criminal Court (ICC) stating, "The United States will use any means necessary to protect our citizens and those of our allies from unjust prosecution by this illegitimate court. We will not cooperate with the ICC. We will provide no assistance to the ICC. And we certainly will not join the ICC." In addition, Mr. Bolton threatened ICC judges with sanctions if they attempt to prosecute Americans over alleged war crimes in Afghanistan. The ICC is an intergovernmental organization based in the Netherlands that hears cases on genocide and other crimes against humanity. Full video here: cs.pn/2CFxmRu
So even if our people did something wrong , just ignore it ? An investigation wouldnt matter if we did nothing wrong .
@Alpha Wolf good point
@Alpha Wolf but the US jurisdiction is unwilling to so...it is like letting the nazis run the nuremberg trials. We need this outside court to properly prosecute these alleged war crimes
This is a witch hunt and a lot of bullshit. They will claim you lied under oath when all they have is he said she said and then send innocent people to prison because of their politics.
owen prince Meanwhile, in the real world, the corrupt criminals you blindly support are beginning to fall like flies, and the rotten crimes they are committing on a daily basis are finally being exposed. Get ready to see your evil idols in prison, deplorable. Wake up from your delusion.
@Alpha Wolf when US military and law enforcement personnel commit crimes abroad, they must bear responsibility........they must not be allowed to break laws with impunity.......it is about fairness, international style.
Both Bushes and Cheney need to be held and tried for war crimes!
All of these corrupt bastards can swing from a tree.
So do the Americans now, but Trump and then are evil themselves! They should face court
So does Obama and Trump. Oh and John Bolton too.
There all complex situations , when and if a war starts ,the defense forces need to know they wont be tried on war crimes , after all killing anyone is a crime ...
American exceptionalism if I ever heard it.
Disgraceful. Threatening a court because they want to prosecute you does not make you look innocent. I hope the ICC will not shy away but go on with their work and hold all war criminals accountable
The ICC has no power but what the US gives it. You'd do well to remember that.
Meanwhile the U.S operates concentration camps in foreign nations in violation of international humanitarian law, and would not hesitate to demand the extradition of foreign citizens to the U.S were they to have committed crimes against U.S soldiers/agents. One needs only to look at the scandalous extradition of the two Mexican citizens accused of killing DEA agent Kiki Camarena. Bolton's argument about the lack of separation of powers, jurisdiction or treaty basis is even more preposterous. Using Bolton's logic the U.S were not entitled to prosecute German and Japanese war criminals during the aftermath of WW2, but the U.S were certainly playing the leading role during the Nuremberg and Tokyo Trials. Throughout the 20th and 21th century no nation has been so vehement in insisting to play the role of international police, prosecutor and judge. The hypocrisy is astounding.
War Criminal
OMG! What was that? 0:40
That’s a Basset Hound
a literal vampire pot bellied goblin
Hillary has a sister?
johns wife...
No Way she is a man in drag, the only resemblances she has is to George Soros Wife.
Imagine if Apartheid South Africa's leaders were just like, "No, fuck your international court, we're just gonna not recognize it."
Now replace South Africa w Isreali and US...
Germany was exceptional, and was beaten by the Russians. Now the US thinks it is exceptional, who will beat it?
Traitor
Citizens of the world : we have some house cleaning to do so please just ignore anything and everything from this administration... We'll rejoin you soon!
Sincerely and with love,
America
(or most of us anyway)
I doubt it will be that simple.
JoLayne Skoglund - House keeping IS being done by the first administration willing to tackle the issue.
We know that something went wrong ) But, you may not find the world as it is right now by the time you get back. Because tensions are skyrocketing in Syria.
JoLayne Skoglund it is not (most of us) that share your sentiment. You are embarrassing yourself and your country when you say things like this. Speak for yourself.
I wonder who Bolton was staring at JUST before he said “dead to us” at the very end of the video? Oooo behind that furry mustache is a man that is not to be trifled with. Favorite Bolton moment. Probably best he no longer works at the White House.
That was like Desert Storm and Coalition of the willing blowback. And ICC running things. One Love.
I may not agree with Bolton most of the time but I certainly do in this instance. The United States will never surrender our sovereignty to an unelected multinational foreign court.
So war crimes don't matter? Keep that in mind in the next 20 years.
The thing is simple. The USA, who wanted to become completely independent of the UK, were in fact mostly British tea party members, and some Dutch. Who didn't see, took all the problems existing in Europe with them, importing all exactly what already was wrong in Europe in to the newly formed state, the USA! The only difference is, the USA colonise a bit different, and as Britain has a lot of satellite states, so has the US, Israel. Or is it the other way around?
No one has found the real issue, Britain has expelled all inhabitants from Diego Garcia. Britain who is confronted right now, to come to to The Hague as prosecuted, could mean, the right of returm by the people to their original homeland. And end any US base there!
First time someone is saying, I will not cooperate with court. Wao! that is both rude and rogue. If not guilty, why afraid?
War crimes shouldn’t represent a country soldiers who are cruel and hateful should not be protected their hatred breeds more hatred and causes more war!
Get rid of its influence and detain any politicians who try to worm its way in.
Well that was pretty arrogant, ignorant and cowardly and recks of fear
I wonder if Hitler had those same thought's if there was one back then. IF the american soldier and agents performed their duties then that is most definitely to be commended, however if there were instances of abuses of power or torture or anything like that, then there should be some penalties for it. It seems like chump doesn't want anybody to face the consequences of their actions. It should be seen as a show of honesty and belief in the values you have. If they did nothing wrong, let the record show that, if not however, you must then also show that you aren't willing to accept that sort of behaviour from anyone, even your own people. Crimes in war are still crimes, it makes a mockery of your justice system if you don't apply the rules to EVERYONE.
Adolf would have hired John (Tojo) Bolton on the spot.
who is this man? he's so funny but does he need help?
Anyone makeout what that guy was screaming about.
9/11 the day Bush destroyed liberty
spoken like a true american war criminal...
Outraged criminal spokes
U.S.A FEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is this guy still alive?
Name your allies
Icc Juu are dead.
What the fuck
OMG I actually screamed at 0:39
Spanky McNuttly
she's hot
What a TOOL.
rogue nation!!!
Sounds like someone disagreed.
Yes because he is a criminal.
If you want "war criminals" look in your own ranks ICC. There are plenty of violators around the world you can chase after that might actually lend you some credibility.
🇺🇸🇺🇸MAGA🇺🇸🇺🇸
But the US did do that shit, how ignorant can you be or are all just gutless cowards.
John Bolton saying he won't cooperate with the ICC is one of the more horrifying things I've ever seen, this probably won't have seemed so scary if literally anyone other than the fucking cruise missile crusader had said this. Oh my fuck.
Tojo is trying to protect himself from what he is planning. This guy is not a neo-NAZI he is the real thing.
Ballerrrrrrr
Jesus, are you going to drop a thermo-nuclear bomb into ICC Headquarters?
It would improve the place...
Unbeliveable
I AM ABOVE THE LAW!
The ICC? Is that the same body described as, The Hague? Anyone know, for fact?
it was too that year they met in the Hague the location to tnat time met in different locations and since that time it meets for war crimes do you all get your education from Nancly Daboss?
@Alpha Wolf thank you, sir.
WOW!!!
great
