Think the ICC is engaged in political posturing and theater all you want, sanctions are not an appropriate tool

They aren't? The US government has authority over its borders and assets within them. This is an action that is perfectly legal and enabled by acts of Congress. It actually has real teeth.

I don't necessarily agree with it either but what do you expect to happen in response to the ICC's action.

The ICC is trying to set a precedent that the US views as against its interests.

Go ahead and poke the bear.
