Comment on Why wasn't former President Bush of the USA, charged with any crimes, when we marched into Afghanistan and Iraq by his orders, under pretenses?

  One of the major prerequisites

  Not the only one though as Afghanistan was indeed lost.

    But it took a long time. Long enough for people to forget.

      It’s more that, win or lose, the United States never had its sovereignty threatened by Afghanistan. They could potentially have continued supporting terrorists and lobbing attacks against the US, but the US government wasn’t going to collapse because of it as long as they did literally anything.

      Without that, it’s pretty unlikely to see a major US politician in front of the ICC.

        Give Afghanistan a nuke and the US would never have even considered invading.
