ICC is an US bludgeon against designated enemies, if you look at the list of people they accused you will see mostly Africans and Russians, but no US or West European perpetrators of the numerous crimes against humanity they commit. It’s also a meaningless kangaroo court that don’t have any real legitimacy or support. It only gained some fame after it accused Putin and now with the Netanyahu.
US acting against it is just reflexive turbozionism and typical Trump tantrum, similar to the one that ended USAID, despite both being US tools for dominating the global south.

This. Which is why this is ultimately a self-sabotaging move for the US empire as it arrogantly abandons its liberal-imperialist tools of soft-power which cannot be effectively replaced with pure threats and bullying. There is a reason why the much smarter imperialists of the past established these institutions.
The propaganda power of the pretense of a liberal “rules based order” that existed the past should not be underestimated, and anti-imperialists should celebrate the destruction of the institutions propping up that illusion and the unveiling of the West’s desperate, naked and moribund imperialism.
