> Most of us would struggle to imagine a world in which U.S. soldiers, police officers, Border Patrol agents and elected leaders could be dragged before an international court, tried by judges from random countries across the globe, found guilty under international laws we neither consent to nor control, and then imprisoned thousands of miles from America. Strange how they don't have any problems with abducting people from other nations (plenty of recent examples) to stand trial in the US under US laws, complete with meme'ing about being sent to alligator Alcatraz etc.

Cause the author is in a group that commits war crimes and thinks it makes them manly?
