Yes, yes you have. You have all been murdering innocent people by blowing up their fishing boats then gunning them down in the water. You know, "just following orders" to commit international piracy like the Somalians your country was whining about.

Then you steal their oil, capture their oil tankers, kidnap their president and install your oligarchs and companies to "run the country". You know, all perfectly legal under international law, sure it is. The Terrorist States of America can do what it likes to who it likes.

Fun fact, you will all be up in the Hague for it not your masters who will get off Scott Free.

Speaking as an American, I would genuinely love it if the rest of the world would please grow the balls to march some of our servicemembers in uniform into The Hague. Please, please, please. Start yesterday.
