> The US doesn’t submit to the jurisdiction of the ICC, which is voluntary.

ICC members follow universal jurisdiction when it comes to war crime.

The US has said it will go as far as a military invasion of the Hague if they try to enforce war crimes against the US.

Incorrect: https://www.icc-cpi.int/about/how-the-court-works

“The Court may exercise jurisdiction in a situation where genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes were committed on or after 1 July 2002 and:

the crimes were committed by a State Party national, or in the territory of a State Party, or in a State that has accepted the jurisdiction of the Court; or the crimes were referred to the ICC Prosecutor by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) pursuant to a resolution adopted under chapter VII of the UN charter.”

The only way the ICC can exercise jurisdiction over a non-member is through referral from the UN Security Council.
