So now you're saying attacking the netherlands is the same as not cooperating with the ICC? They don't have to attack netherland nor sanction the prosecutors to ward off the ICC, they choose to use escalation of force, because that's how they perceive the world as a constant battle ground where anyone will strike you if you don't strike first.

They passed the law in 2002 where they allowed themselves to attack the Netherlands if a US citizen was brought to the ICC. This is already "fearful enough".

Now they passed the law to sanction the individuals working at ICC.

I am saying that the new law in not a huge difference from the old law, which was already "fearful". This is all I am trying to say here.

I see. But talks of potential war and the actuality of targeting these type of individuals is different. Both are very scary, but only one, for now, is an actuality.
