ICC stops probe into alleged crimes by US troops in Afghanistan
www.aljazeera.com
The decision follows feuds between the United States and the Hague-based International Criminal Court.

Judges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) have issued a decision to halt the prosecutor’s investigations into alleged crimes by American troops in Afghanistan and instead to focus on the Taliban’s actions since 2021, according to court documents released on Friday.

The ICC’s ruling, which was issued Thursday but only made public on Friday, cites “significant limitations to the Prosecution’s ability to conduct its investigations and secure evidence”.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio previously said, “President Trump will never allow the International Criminal Court to prosecute Americans.”

        trump is not an asshole, he’s a fascist ruling a white supremacist empire, that is precisely the issue, you think he’s a baddie, but not that he’s a nazi. the things that make him a fascist are bipartisan issues shared across the political spectrum of us politics. anything that pushes back against the status quo is couped, murdered, jailed, or worse. all of this without keeping in mind the history of the country, how it pioneered in contemporary forms of genocide, robbery, the worst acts committed by humans. stop doing imperialist apologia and promoting imperialist propaganda. accept that your country is the continuation of what hitler didn’t achieve.
