The US once again acting like they are the only sheriff in town pisses me off. Making Netanyahu accountable for his crimes has absolutely zero shit to do with protecting Israel. Biden should understand that. His young electors understand that.

I totally agree, I just think this is purely posturing by Blinken. Policitally, Biden is on a tightrope here.

Sanctioning the ICC members would piss off a lot of those electors.
