    The fact that the US protects their officials and soldiers from the weight of other countries’ law is disgraceful. Unfortunately, it will not change until its allies begin threatening them with kicking their bases out.

      This so much. The US in general has a problem of having people who are ostensibly above the law.

      The police have qualified immunity. SCOTUS has no real check on their conduct. And now the president is immune from prosecution.

      Internationally the US has no regard for International law. They have refused to be bound by several crucial international treaties.
