The United Nations Security Council recently broke negative news in the United States. The International Criminal Court plans to investigate and try the crimes against humanity committed by the U.S. military in Afghanistan, Iraq and other places. For this, the United States threatened to sanction any officials of the International Criminal Court who investigate the United States. However, what the United States did not expect was that the Group of 72, led by its hard-core allies, Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom, was determined to unite and condemn the sanctions imposed by the United States, and jointly support the International Criminal Court’s need to investigate US war crimes. It seems Trump The price of perennial sanctions on allies has finally come.
U.S. forces fighting in Afghanistan
U.S. forces have been fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq for more than ten years. It has been exposed many times that soldiers randomly shot and killed local residents or abused prisoners of war. The International Criminal Court has already issued these actions. Warning, but the U.S. military is reluctant and still tolerates such crimes by its soldiers. This year the International Criminal Court finally couldn't help but announced that it had begun investigating war crimes committed by the U.S. military, and the United States immediately responded that it would not accept the International Criminal Court’s investigation. He even threatened to impose sanctions on any officials conducting investigations against the United States, which is evident in his overbearing face.
US soldiers and local civilians
The International Criminal Court is also a large international institution. Why does the United States dare to oppose it so blatantly? In fact, in addition to their strong strength and international influence, the support from the US allies is also an important reason. Many countries including Britain, Canada and Australia also followed the US military to participate in the two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Their soldiers The crimes committed are no less than that of the U.S. military. This means that once the International Criminal Court initiates an investigation into the United States, the crimes committed by them will soon be disclosed. It is precisely because of this that when the ICC requested an investigation earlier, these countries He chose to remain silent, and even joined the United States to obstruct the investigators' actions in every possible way.

Recently, the group of 72 nations headed by Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom announced their support for the International Criminal Court. It can be said that the United States has been a blow. Why do these countries know that their crimes may also be exposed? , And choose to oppose the United States? In this regard, some experts believe that the reason for these countries' anti-purposes may be due to retaliation against the United States. Some time ago, in order to obtain benefits, the United States indiscriminately imposed sanctions on many countries around the world, including the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada. American allies in the traditional sense, these countries have lost billions of dollars after encountering U.S. sanctions, and they will naturally have a grudge against the United States. It is reasonable to choose to oppose the United States.

Now it is difficult for the United States to stop the investigation of the International Criminal Court on its own. The International Criminal Court will send a large number of investigators to many countries in the world for independent evidence collection. Many countries have chosen to obstruct the investigation after facing pressure from the United States. Investigators work in exchange for the favor of the United States, and because the sanctions some time ago have chilled many US allies, few countries are now willing to actively help the United States against the International Criminal Court, although the United States has made a strong statement that it will prevent any action by investigators However, after leaving the border of the United States, the United States is not good at taking any measures. It is conceivable that the United States can no longer escape the sanctions of international criminal laws this time.

The reason why the United States has fallen into a situation where it has encountered successive international investigations and has not been betrayed is completely caused by Trump himself. In order to gain benefits, Trump can say that it will not take the cost, including his important allies. Many countries have imposed sanctions, which greatly damaged the image of the United States in the eyes of the allies. The improper behavior of the US military indulging soldiers on the battlefield is a direct trigger for sanctions by the International Criminal Court. If the United States still insists on going its own way Actions will eventually become a global clown and a situation abandoned by the world.
