The news has been received with mostly and equal mixture of roaring laughter and raised middle fingers. Some around the world are shocked that this administration are telling the ICJ to go pound sand in the Sahara.
A few pundits that tried to side with the enemy…ahem.. United Nations but I think even then they understood it was a sham as the ICJ, a slow-moving entity in the slower moving UN, suddenly develops war speed and in two months comes up with the ruling against what they thought was Bowing Obama’s America.
And proof of the above is the ruling that they made on October the First on a century old dispute between Chile and Bolivia who demands access to the Pacific Ocean. It took the same court 5 years to basically say the arguments that Bolivia presented were false and thus the proceedings stopped.
So dear International Court of Justice,
Angry gnome will steal your underpants and lose the war for the Allies. And profit.
Today Secretary of State Pompeo formally withdrew the US from the treaty the ICJ cited in their decision. That renders their decision null and void.
