The ICC would prosecute American politicians and presidents if it followed the rule of law, so of course the US will never sign on to it.

Well, I'm American. The U.S. public needs to insist. Personally, I am beyond disgusted by my country's meddling and shady deals and pouring arms into conflicts. When it comes to Ukraine, maybe we have to, I don't know, but there are a lot of conflicts that we should never have been involved in. I think the US public is, unfortunately, underinformed about a lot of bad actions of some of our government and military leaders. If more people were made aware, especially young people, there might be more support for cooperating with the ICC.

Edited to add...I know I'm being optimistic about my fellow Americans.

Edited again to add... what's with the downvote? Tell what's wrong with what I said. I'm trying to be nuanced yet optimistic here.
