    This is nuts.

    I’m gonna set this next to “declaring opposition to fascism an FBI flag for investigation” on the shelf of ways to really say the quiet part out loud.

    It’s particularly wild to me because there’s no specific benefit to the US here. Sanctioning them clearly achieves nothing. They’re just going on the record as being opposed to the basic concept of war crimes prosecutions.
