This Is The World's Biggest Criminal

#DonaldTrump imposed #sanctions on the #ICC & demands that the Hague modify its founding charter to guarantee the #US empire impunity for its invasion crimes.

The #UnitedStates claims its geopolitical adversaries are "rogue states," but overwhelming evidence shows Washington violates international #law more than all other countries on Earth

These & other #threats, including #tariffs, #sanctions & the revocation of diplomats’ #US #visas, effectively killed the deal, according to the 9 American, European & developing-nation diplomats directly involved in the negotiations. They spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of #retribution from the #Trump admin.

Trump and Marco Rubio are preparing to wage economic war on #Nicaragua with 100% tariffs. Nicaragua is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere. The people of Nicaragua are deeply religious Christians. This will hurt them the most.

U.S. and European sanctions on Russian oil may not be enough to pressure Putin into ending the war in Ukraine, as Western resolve and actions remain lacking. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/10/27/world/only-credible-threats-will-stop-putins-war/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #russia #ukraine #russiaukrainewar #us #eu #sanctions #defense

A source said #ICC officials had already held emergency internal meetings to discuss the impact of potential blanket #sanctions. Two other sources said meetings had also been held of court member state diplomats.

One #US official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, confirmed that entity-wide sanctions were being weighed but did not elaborate on the timing of the possible move.

Washington has already imposed targeted sanctions on several #prosecutors & #judges at the #ICC, but naming the #court itself in the #sanctions list would be a major escalation.

6 sources with knowledge of the matter, all speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive diplomatic issue that has not been publicly announced, said a decision on such "entity sanctions" was expected soon.
