And the US has threatened to invade NL if ICC warrants one of them.

So much for the ICC: a banana court.

It felt so real when Milosovic was trialed: now we all know the true nature of these show trials.

Milošević was not tried by the ICC.

It’s a banana court because the US doesn’t recognise it?

If you make a court under the UN and you trail US' adversaries' (Serbia) leaders (Milosovic), WHILE the US (who we know --thanks Snowden and Assange-- commits plenty of war crimes) does not recognize it: that is the definition of a kangaroo court.

Just for show. Just to provide some veil of legitimacy for the US actions to evil does without the US itself being held to the same standards.

it's a ~~banana~~ kangaroo court because the US turning over soldiers to the ICC would violate their 6th amendment right to a jury trial
