Joe Biden, he gets it, right? He understands when you give weapons to a nation, that makes you complicit in their crimes. - eviltoast

    No, no, no, you are forgetting the rules based order which says it’s ok to participate in war crimes when you are the US because they choose not to cooperate with international courts and will invade if charges are brought against them.

    There are naturally exceptions to every rule. This is US exceptionalism.

    Bob Squarepants with a frown on his face, equipped with a radio looking for something suspicious, in the background a “WANTED” poster with his mugshot on it, he appears happy in the mugshot.

    I’m glad he’ll understand when Russia sinks an American carrier group in retaliation for their supplying Ukraine with weapons that have been used in terror attacks to kill civilians as well as of course hurt and kill thousands of Russian soldiers given he understands that supplying weapons to someone is as good as pulling the trigger yourself.

    (I laughed when I saw he said this, just no shame and probably limited self-awareness, truly a people and country that feel laws apply to others not them. That laws serve to bind others not them. Disgusting and the Chinese and Russians should never let the Americans forget this and the hypocrisy under which it occurred)

    Also I want someone to shout at him that taking this line has to mean he is responsible personally for the deaths of civilians in Gaza and if the ICJ rules that would he agree he should be subject to the types of penalties international law and Nuremberg determined appropriate for those facilitating genocide and would he further agree that such charges and relevant penalties should also be applicable to those in his administration who were party to it such as Sec of State, military chiefs, etc.
