As he buys diesel from Russia that is actively committing war crimes.
"ICC bad duuur they say what I do illegal", or something equally dumb.
Every time I think we've hit maximum "cartoon villain" with Trump, I find out I was wrong.
You would expect the icc must have done something to America or Americans but no. It's just ex ICC judge winning Nobel peace price.
I can't even name a cartoon villain who would do such a thing for such reasons😭.
I mean cartoon villains usually succeed up to a certain point. Trump is a desperate loser that cannot accomplish literally anything.
In his "defense," the plan to sanction the ICC came before the Nobel. Some of the reporting even claims that the Nobel committee chose to give the prize as a response to the threatened sanctions.
He's sanctioning the ICC because they've stood up to him in the past on issues like Netanyahu.
Lmao, What a world we live in where this is the defense. That the comically evil dictator is just evil, not comical.
More desperate, selfish, and pathetic every day.

It's just a greatest hits release.
Good thing the ICC’s headquarters is not in the US.
If it were I can just see Trump & Co shutting down the offices they work out of.
Last time he had tantrum he had Microsoft block some accounts and Visa or Mastercard payment. It was the signal for the rest of the world to move away from USA products.
Sadly, they still get hit by sanctions when it comes to banking, software, etc.
If Europe and the rest of the world doesn't immediately defend it, it might be done for.
This also will probably accelerate the decoupling from US services and software the rest of the world has been working on.
Something tells me the image of the ICC faxing things to people in the name of justice will stick. But they'll probably just use Proton Mail or something.
The idea that to serve on this court, you have to face sanctions, might scare away a lot of judges, but the ones who still choose to do it will know exactly what they're doing this for.

Yeah, I get the impression Navi Pillay would have joined regardless of that sanction risk, as an example.
They've been diversifying in preparation such as by dumping Microsoft if I'm not mistaken
They would 100% have the building stormed by feds and have everyone inside arrested and detained indefinitely.
Why? Does he want to buy diesel from them?
Because the winner of the Nobel peace prize was announced yesterday and her name is Navanethem “Navi” Pillay, an ICC judge.
It's all about him.

Edit:
“The United States of America, represented by me as your president, should have received the Nobel Peace Prize, but didn’t,” Trump told supporters at a rally in Syracuse, New York, Friday night. He called the snub an “indelible stain on the country of Norway and those people that made such a disgraceful and embarrassing decision.”
Someone hurt his fee-fees.
Awww, muffin didn’t get his Nobel Peace prize.
I mean he got the FIFA one, isn't that better?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
