  1. Let's see what happens. Seems fair you would have to hold all responsible for their actions.
    But is this just talk or is there going to be action

  2. What a total farce. The U.S. and Canada for that matter should make it plain. If the ICC carries down this route and arrests anyone from Israel all funds and assistance for Ukraine will be turned off. Let the EU deal with Russia on its own. And as the EU does not pay its 2.1% the U.S. will not come to their defense on article 5. Good luck with that. Trump made that very plain.

    What a puffed-up kangaroo court If it wasn't for the U.S. and Canadian boys, during 2 world wars Europe would be goosestepping today. Puffed up buffoons.
