Ka-ching! as much as you like!! there are only 2 ways anything can happen which as NEVER happened

1United Nations Security Council Referral: The UN Security Council can refer a situation to the ICC which has Never and wont happen due to vetos of the countrys

2Territorial Jurisdiction: If a non-member state formally submits a declaration accepting the ICC’s jurisdiction over crimes committed on its territory which again will not happen

Ka-ching!

The ICC is a Toothless body has been known for years !! why do you think countrys are getting out !!!

Why have they not arrested Putin he is on there list and he has been to county which are a member of the ICC

there are a lot of leaders and people on there list but as i said toothless

so your post is meaningless!! live in the real world not fantisy land

The Court’s 2023 arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin exposed similar tensions. For many observers, the warrant represented institutional courage – a refusal to exempt nuclear-armed heads of state from legal accountability. Yet it also intensified claims that the ICC advances cases aligned with Western strategic interests. Ukraine is not a full Rome Statute member, Russia has withdrawn entirely, and yet the Court moved forward. Meanwhile, the United States, China, Israel, and India remain outside ICC jurisdiction altogether, weakening the Court’s claim to universality. The institution designed to prosecute anyone, anywhere now operates in a world where the most powerful states reject its authority.

Ka-ching!

OK, so you Ka-ching-ed me 😢. I submit, the ICC is a toothless tiger. But that proves that honest people must speak out against war crimes and state sanctioned murder.

I agree people must speak out against war crimes and state sanctioned murder. but the only way in this world thay this can be achived is by the vote and ensuring that your represetive keeps to what has been promised to the people

Major flaw in that as they only pretend to listen when they are trying to get your vote afterwards they suddenly become stone deaf.

Yes i agree !! but you have to start some where some try, wish there were more but sadly !!

How convenient for billionaires and trumps buds that trump has pretty much gutted the SEC stopped investigations into insider trading and his rear kissing lackies at DOJ would never dare to actually bring charges against trump or any of his buddies unless directed by the orange man...it's good to be rich and be in on inside info that can make you millions in a matter of days with zero repercussions, pesky investigations, and your biggest worry is which new jet or villa to buy...the only "negative" is you owe trump bigly for the info so he has you by the short hairs to demand you lick his boots and make appropriate crypto purchases to show your appreciation or throw a few million into some hidden dark money pac chosen by trump to defeat some perceived enemy on demand. Drag Iran out for months and send markets up/down with a few tweets.

Key actions taken to scale back SEC oversight include:

• Slashed Enforcement Actions: New SEC enforcement cases fell by 27% to 313 in the agency’s 2025 financial year, marking the lowest level of enforcement actions in a decade. [1]

• Removal of Investigative Power: SEC leadership under Trump removed the delegated authority of staff to issue formal orders of investigation. Without these orders, enforcement staff cannot issue document and testimony subpoenas. [1]

• Dismissed Cryptocurrency Cases: The SEC dropped, froze, or settled numerous high-profile crypto enforcement actions, halting investigations into major industry players such as Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, and Ripple. [1, 2]

• Purged Career Officials: Trump’s administration purged top career oversight and enforcement officials, while his executive orders restricted independent regulatory agencies by subjecting their major policies and investigations to White House review. [1, 2, 3]

For more details on the specific cases and policies impacted, you can review the full Public Citizen Corporate Enforcement Report or explore the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance analysis.

So mr taco has made a "largely negotiated" deal that Iran is apparently unaware of it but naturally the trump announcement has enough ambiguity and loopholes to drive a tank through giving more time to manipulate markets...time is on his side....place your puts and call bets....hint you will do better if TACO tells you when his next announcement will be made or bombs start flying again before it is announced to the public.

The U.S.-Iran agreement Trump says is "largely negotiated" includes a 60-day ceasefire extension, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz without tolls, and U.S. sanctions waivers allowing Iran to sell oil freely. American forces would remain in the region during the 60-day window.

Trump administration officials say Iran has agreed to dispose of its highly enriched uranium stockpile, but a senior Iranian source said that no such agreement exists and that nuclear issues are not part of the current deal.

On Sunday, Trump wrote on Truth Social that he had instructed his team not to rush the deal, adding that "time is on our side."

A senior Trump official told the press the deal was not expected to be signed Sunday and would take several days to move through approvals.

Someone's telling Porkies, Trump says a deal is imminant yet the Iranians are saying no imminent deal. Then we get if a deal is not forthcoming America will deal with them another way. A strongly truth Social media post will appear soon lol.

The world is laughing at America !! do you Yanks not feel ashamed ???

Very sad state of affairs when people the world over believe the word of Iran over the president of the USA.

Corrected.

Very sad state of affairs when people the world over believe the word of Iran over President Trump.

Recent surveys confirm widespread and growing distrust in USA under President Trump with international confidence in US leadership dropping to historic lows. US is seen as a major global threat surpass even Russia driven by concerns over political unpredictability, coercion and isolationist policies.

It doesn't even matter what Trump says anyways because it is Netanyahu who is pulling his strings and pushing for further attacks in pursuit of his greater Israel plan.
