#1 Fuck you.

Good luck enforcing that. BTW... isn't it time to re-evaluate your funding for next year?

#2 Perhaps the US could re-apportion UN dues to such matters. UN dues could go to hurricane relief and other humanitarian issues, maybe even a little to Iran. As long as it doesn't go to the UN.

#5 I wonder how old-time sieges would have ended up under these rules.

#7 The Netherlands-based court...
The EU-based Lawfare apparatus makes its appearance one more time demanding the the US bow down to their EUropean Masters! The economic sanctions must be really starting to hurt in Europe...

Like the '88 version of Baron Munchausen.

The ICJ unanimously ruled that Washington "shall remove..."

"Shall" is not a word you want to direct at us. Trust me on this.

Better yet, cut ALL payments to the UN.

#11 The US should suggest that the UN move their headquarters to Iran to get a better feel for how the majority of the world lives.

I hear Mogadishu is nice this time of year. Lovely beaches.

#13 So I can just imagine what the Don said in private about this, being from New York and all...

#14 Decisions made by the ICJ are binding

I eagerly await Bolton's response. He could have a lot of fun with this one.

If this "court" is in New York, send in the NYPD and arrest them all for loitering.

#16 The UN would like it, you bet,
Were New York Nieuw Amsterdam yet,
Trump, Haley and Bolton
So much less revoltin',
The skyline one yuge minaret.

#17 Oooooh, yeah, the UN Court...sure has the world shaking in its boots. I'm sure the Trump Administration will get right on it.
