US slapping fresh sanctions on ‘unaccountable’ International Criminal Court
NY Post ^ | 10/08/2026 | Josh Christenson

The State Department will impose “further sanctions” on the International Criminal Court in response to its attempts to charge American service members, according to a US official and an internal memo reviewed by The Post.

The official said that diplomatic posts were receiving warnings Thursday that “further ICC action” was imminent, while the memo cited longstanding grievances with the US not being a signatory to the court’s founding treaty.

“The ICC seeks to become the unaccountable global arbiter – positioning itself above and beyond the nation state as a supranational judicial arm of a globalist bureaucracy empowered to persecute American

“It must be clear, once and for all, that the ICC can pose no threat to those who did not accept its authority,” the memo added.

“Building on the U.S. campaign to assemble a coalition of countries willing to reject the Court’s assault on State sovereignty, the United States has no choice but to impose further sanctions.”

American diplomats were informed of the pending sanctions following Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s Wednesday speech in Athens, Greece, in which he denounced attempts “to abolish the sovereignty of nations” and praising “the unapologetic pursuit of national power.”

Well, if my memory serves me properly, this “court” is not taking action against Hamas or the IRGC or anyone else like that.

Instead of sanctions let’s pass a law making it illegal for anyone signing an ICC arrest warrant for any American Citizen.

Then we extradite them to the US and put them on trial. You know play the uno reverse card.

The “International Criminal Court”-—AKA the International Court of Criminals—was founded by a muslim activist to persecute the Serbian Christian people!

The US administration should not only refuse to recognize the “Court”, but should expose its totally sleazy history!

The US administration should also withdraw recognition of a muslim state of “Kosova”, and call for the return of Kosovo to Serbia!

I hope that the Serbs will then expel many Albanians from Kosovo, and tear down all monuments to the clintons in that territory!

Surely, there are sufficient newly retired Seals and Delta Force personnel to snuff this Tomfoolery.
