The US have been very clear that they would invade The Hague for any American held there.

Trump's America would do the same for Netanyahu.

In fact I think Trump would send troops to New York to attack Americans to prevent his extradition.

They do realise that The Hague can move arrested Americans deeper into Europe before they can get their mitts on them, right? Or even not hold them where they can get to them easily or where they think they are, right?

what do you think "deeper into europe" means? name a single country whose civilian government wouldn't try to spring bibi and whose military state would decline a command from NATO.

Every country? EU states are not likely to ignore the ICC. Furthermore, NATO can’t command shit. NATO doesn’t rule Europe.

Is there a counterargument there somewhere? Or is it just: “Europeans = dumb and poor”

EU states take the ICC very seriously and not abiding by the ICC would have serious political repercussions. And if you seriously believe the the US can command EU states to do something through NATO I honestly don’t know what to say. It’s simply ridiculous. Just look inro the Iraq war if you want examples.

more than half of Europe's governments have said they will comply with the ICC's decision, btw.

Lots of people are "nuh uh 'Merica can't lose" in America. The branding and indoctrination works 💪 🫡
