If the United States does not, the World Court could complain to the U.N. Security Council, which could impose sanctions,

Sanctions? Bring 'em on.
Who do you think sanctions would hurt more? The USA or the countries that would uphold the sanctions.

I must hang out with the wrong people. Not one person that I talk to on a regular basis thinks that the UN or the World Court is relevant in any way. The Governor of Texas couldn't do anything even if he wanted to because of the way Texas law is structured. I'm sick of this stuff. Maybe we should revisit the Fortress America strategy.

The USA has absolute veto power on the security council. The security council couldn't do anything to us. Additionally, we pay about 40% of the cost of operating the UN. All we would have to do is stop sending them checks.
