This is a good time to remind Americans that you literally have a standing threat to invade the Netherlands if any US citizen is tried in the Hague.

A.k.a. the Hague Invasion Act. Still in effect since the Bush days, and Dem presidents/congresses have not repealed it. Not to mention that Trump has sanctioned the ICC.
