WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump has authorized economic sanctions against members of the International Criminal Court who are investigating possible war crimes by American personnel during the war in Afghanistan, the White House announced Thursday.

The new move is part of a concerted campaign against the international court and its probe into possible war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by U.S. and other forcesin that conflict.

"This administration will not allow American citizens who have served our country to be subjected to illegitimate investigations," Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said Thursday at an event announcing the action.

Human rights advocates denounced the Trump administration’s decision as "reckless," charging the U.S. with trying to evade accountability for alleged torture and other war crimes.

To give credit where due, GOP-Netanyahu wing has been consistent on issues like this.

Perhaps that is why, almost all of the "war criminals" ICC has convicted tend to be poor bastards from Africa only and none of the DeepState/DeepZiocons/GOPAcons/DOPAcons/DeepParasites/ISIS-Founding-fathers/puppet masters types have been held accountable for war crimes/crimes against humanity.
It's not exactly like "take the oil" loot is ok and "Take the LCD TV" loot is bad type morality but still two and two don;t add up.
