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.

The US had total air and naval superiority in Afghanistan, so them having a nuke is irrelevant.

The US never challenges a country with nukes.
