All actions or only the ones that weren't crimes of war?
I did not say all actions, and in fact I said actions [with conditional]
I didn't mean to imply that you said you support all US's actions against those regimes, neither do am I implying you meant to say you support their crimes of war, i'm asking whether you support their war crimes because when you wrote that you "defend actions taken by the USA to fight against Isis, IRGC, Al-Assad, Hussein, etc, when we had competent leaders capable of positive change." you come across as someone who believes those things were only good things while imo those include some very bad things too. Also "competent leaders capable of positive change" can have blood on their hands. If the US would recognize the ICJ they could even try and convince someone like me that they did not in fact commit any war crimes, but them not wanting to be held accountable for their actions alone makes me wonder if there even was a capable leader in the US to begin with.
While the USA has a spotty record on the ICJ, ever since Iran-Contra under Reagan, one of the current 16 judges is from the USA. They also have one from China, which honestly at this point seems to lower the legitimacy of the court, if anything.
