“We will not cooperate, engage, fund, or assist the ICC in any way. This president will not allow American citizens to be prosecuted by foreign bureaucrats, and he will not allow other nations to dictate our means of self-defense
U.S. national security advisor John Bolton condemned the International Criminal Court (ICC) “as a free-wheeling global organization claiming jurisdiction over individuals without their consent.” He announced in a major speech to the Federalist Society earlier this week that the Trump administration would consider strong steps to protect the American people if the ICC oversteps its bounds, such as imposing sanctions on any ICC judges and prosecutors who bring legal action against Americans and even pursuing prosecution in U.S. courts against such ICC judges and prosecutors. “Americans can rest assured that the United States will not provide any form of legitimacy or support to this body,” he vowed. “We will not cooperate, engage, fund, or assist the ICC in any way. This president will not allow American citizens to be prosecuted by foreign bureaucrats, and he will not allow other nations to dictate our means of self-defense. This administration will fight back to protect American constitutionalism, our sovereignty, and our citizens. No committee of foreign nations will tell us how to govern ourselves and defend our freedom.”
This globalist tyranny has been a hot-spot for Bolton for a long time and for good reason. For a long time, the UN has been a very undesirable force for the USA and should be put in its place. May I suggest Brussels or maybe somewhere in Africa.
I have not heard anything on the subject but the way President Trump is going I would not be surprised if he ask the UN to move to another location outside the US.
Good work!

Spot on. Suggest US out of this useless (for free people anyway) organization, then, get them out of the country. Brussels is too nice...Lesotho or zimbabwe come to mind...

More WINNING!
Good words by Bolton.
May I suggest Mogadisu? From that vantage point, they could oversee the transformation of a sparsely populated waring tribal $#*+hole country into a multcultural paradise to be the homeland for refugees from around the world.
The correct response to the ICC kidnapping and trying to put Americans on a show trial is to send in the Marines, rescue our citizens, kill the judges, and then bomb the court houses until nothing in the rubble is recognizable.
They may be poor, but they sound like one of the more functional countries in Africa.
We’re stuck with that crowd of freeloading criminals because no one else can afford them
Not the one you worry about when you're a little overweight and your log-book's way behind.
Oh, so Bolton and Trump think that America is a sovereign country with the duty to protect it’s own citizens, do they? have they been reading Kavanaugh’s little book again or something. I thought we banned that.
If only Bolton would put an end to the worst outrage of all. That would be our illegal presence in Syria and our support of terrorists there.
“What have you got against Lesotho?
They may be poor, but they sound like one of the more functional countries in Africa. “
You are correct. Dropping the collection of tyrants, currently residing in NYC on honorable folk would be a travesty. Need to think about this more...

YES!
And look at those poor Dumocrat losers. Their rage and insanity just make me cry, they are so sad.
Oh well, I guess I'll just have to suck it up :)
Holy crap. One dream after another coming true under Trump. Definitely a left wing court that focuses on right wing “villains” like Pinochet.
Sometimes in the mix we do miss that there are some bright lights in Africa. Ghana apparently has its act together as well - its only problem like many African nations, is good energy infrastructure. Ethiopia also seems to be shoring itself up and opposing Islamism from Somalia, Kenya, ect.
