In a better world, the International Criminal Court would have much greater power to prosecute war crimes.

Today, winding up at The Hague requires terrible luck, and it’s virtually impossible to happen to a Donald Trump or a Pete Hegseth, given the enormous military might that the United States possesses.

Contrast this to what happened to Slobodan Milošević, who was arrested when his countries, Yugoslavia and Serbia, were overthrown.

Prosecuting War Crimes Is Very Tough in the U.S.

The prediction made here is nearly certain to come true.

The question is what happens at the point.  E.g., how long does it take to rebuild trade deals and relationships with allies?

Keep in mind that regardless of the manner in which Trump loses power, there will always be “news” outlets like Fox and Newsmax, trying their best to convince the idiots that Trump was hounded and persecuted by the communists who hate America.

All I can say about the me here is that personally I refused, against considerable pressure from my family, to indoctrinate my children into something I myself could not accept.
