⚡International Criminal Court (ICC) is being warned by members of U.S. Congress in both parties that arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials will be met with U.S. retaliation — and legislation to that effect is already in the works, Axios reports.

Netenyahu has gone so far as to urge Biden to intervene to help prevent the warrants.

House Speaker Johnson issued a statement calling the reported warrants "disgraceful" and "lawless."

"If unchallenged by the Biden administration, the ICC could create and assume unprecedented power to issue arrest warrants against American political leaders, American diplomats, and American military personnel," Johnson said.

President Biden is reportedly working on a 10 year deal to send Ukraine $1 trillion in military aid and $500 billion in reconstruction loan guarantees and would prevent the next two presidents from cutting off aid.

Imagine a nation that doesn’t have money for free healthcare, free rent/housing, and student loans but giving out billions to a foreign countries yet the Russia they are fighting have all those things.
Lmaooo. What!

Well. Congratulations to China. They truly won.

Appleyard:
Many people don't even know that much of the US gigantic military budget goes to maintenance and only a part translate into real new armaments. This practice in its current form is unsustainable and is one of the reasons the US would collapse like the Roman empire did.
800 billion this, 900 billion that.

That amount is not even enough to maintain over 800 bases worldwide

60% of that money will be used to line up the pockets of corrupt officials and defense contractors.

So where will money for weapons research even come from?
