@RemNi Irrelevant. US isn’t part of ICC. But anyway, I think that Netanyahu is gonna be too busy with the war and then campaigning to address Congress.

@nathanwei It's a really bad look for the US if Netanyahu speaks to Congress now

@nathanwei I guess the US sees the ICC as a potential future threat to its power, so there's a lot of groupthink in the two American political parties which makes them lash out against the court irrespective of values. But this isn't the 90s anymore; US influence is a lot weaker now. All this does is push the US further into isolationism and undermines its soft power projection. But perhaps that's what many of these politicians want.

@RemNi It will also help Netanyahu domestically, which is, bad

@colorednoise It's too far away from the elections, unlike in March 2015, for that.

Semiotic RivalryboughtṀ150NO

@SemioticRivalry An invitation is now confirmed to be imminent by Johnson and Schumer, or did I miss something?

@BTE it's not official yet, and i can see some drama ahead

btw how does this resolve if he addresses the House but not the senate?

@SemioticRivalry It doesn’t require anything more than the invitation to be extended. I have a separate market about whether or not it actually happens. I think he will address a joint session almost certainly and Senators will undoubtedly boycott. I created this market a long time ago basically predicting Netanyahu would try to influence the US election (again). Turns out it’s his own job top of the agenda….

@BTE technically he could only be formally invited to address the house though

@SemioticRivalry Invitation comes from the Speaker so I don’t really care who sits in the audience. Yes.

reposted

After Schumer rejected his request to address the Democratic caucus this is more likely.

@BTE He gave a remote speech to Senate Republicans. That doesn’t seem like an address to Congress to me.
