> In my view, the real question is why others are so willing to give up their sovereignty and right to self determination? You are an anarchist then? Otherwise as an sovereign individual, how can you justify being part of nation with laws over you? It's not so much giving up sovereignty as pooling it. ie you trade your right to do so as you wish, for a guarantee that others can't just do as they wish on agreed areas - like rape, murder, stealing etc. Same argument applies to countries - they submit to the ICC, but are also party to shaping it - it's an agreement between countries about what is 'beyond the pale'. The sad fact is, however the US see's it's self, the rest of the world is increasingly seeing the US as the largest threat to world peace. https://fullfact.org/news/america-world-peace/ https://fullfact.org/news/america-world-peace/ In my view, the US need to have a long hard look at themselves and re-discover their moral mojo.
