Prosecuting War Crimes Is Very Tough in the U.S.

In a better world, the International Criminal Court would have much greater power to prosecute war crimes.

Today, winding up at The Hague requires terrible luck, and it’s virtually impossible to happen to a Donald Trump or a Pete Hegseth, given the enormous military might that the United States possesses.

Contrast this to what happened to Slobodan Milošević, who was arrested when his countries, Yugoslavia and Serbia, were overthrown.
