    It’s not going to happen and the Hague doesn’t actually want it to. Unless they want Navy SEALs knocking down their doors.

    Look up the American Service-Members Protection Act if you don’t believe me.

    Note: this is not a policy that I support, but it is official US policy.

      I can hear the chuds screaming “The ICJ is about to find out why we can’t afford health care!” from all the way on the other side of the Atlantic.

      But Americans sending special forces into the center of Europe to canoe a couple of mid-level paper pushers at the UN over a sternly worded letter would maybe not be the most savvy foreign policy over the long term.
