The best thing that could happen -especially for Americans- is a radical contraction of US power. No empire. No black sites. No more.
At the U.N. this week, Trump repeated his attacks on the International Criminal Court and urged other nations to pull out of the ICC. This is “an absolute low point, but [it] opens a clear opportunity for all of the other countries in the world to rise up,” says Varsha Gandikota of The Hague Group.
