He wasnt cornered. He was asked a question, refused to answer and nobody else asked the same thing.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The US - where anything more than the gentlest of softball questions is hard hitting journalism.
Cornered? Bruh, he doesn’t care, at all. War crimes really only matter when there is accountability involved. The United States government and military will never acknowledge nor accept responsibility for the numerous war crimes it has committed, past or present.
Who reads these articles and responds “Yo they got him good! XD”.
Israel commits war crimes daily, and nothing happens. In other conflicts throughout the world, rape is used as a weapon of war, children are forced to carry AK’s. Let’s corner those leaders! We’ll show them!
There will be a post Trump. He'll die long before he faces consequences, but there will be a lot of political will to see someone suffer
lol, good one. When has anyone from the United States government been tried for war crimes? Would that not need to be prosecuted at The Hague?
Idk why people think anything will be different. It’s good to have something to hold on to, I guess.
IIRC, they have a mandate to invade the Hague to liberate US officials, so not only will they not offer people up, they will kill not to.
This cat gets it. Until the United States empire falls, there will be no accountability. It will fall, eventually, but no time soon.
There's a lot of anger. The ICC and the concept of war crimes itself haven't been around for even a century, we live in a time of unprecedented things
I'm not saying the right people will be punished, but there will be punishment
Oh my sweet summer child.
"Trump, 80..." Gets me every time
I love it when they include this asshole’s age after his name. Just to draw attention to the fact that not only is he a raging unhinged narcissistic lunatic, but and old raging unhinged narcissistic lunatic.
It’s clickbait. At first glance, one hopes the rest of the headline announces his death. We are let down each time.
War criminals are held to account.
When did that start? It seems to me that only happens to the poor ones. It's the same enforcement standard as any other law.
When did that start?
Past (none were poor):
Recent war-crime prosections:
Have we prosecuted any rich war criminals recently? It is telling that you have to go back to the Nazis, 80+ years ago was the last time that happened.
The ICC has prosecuted 54 individuals for war crimes, and 47 of them have been from Africa. Do you think war crimes are only happening in Africa? Or are the rest of the world's war criminals getting away with it?
Do you actually think we will see a trial for the biggest war criminals like Trump and Netanyahu?
Well, the US withdrew from the ICC, but here is a list of everyone convicted of war crimes (rich countries included).
Not only will they not, the US will use force to make sure about that. The only reason Trump isn't labeled a war criminal by the ICC is because he'd probably bomb the Netherlands directly after. Or Belgium, as if he cared or knew.
When I read “Trump, 80” there is only one word I expect to follow.
