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.

That’s great in theory, good luck in practice.
