Yeah but it can make things happen, and they know that. too.No likelihood of him being arrested.. The ICC know this.. Putin knows it... the ICC are just postulating nothing more..
yes ..like what tho ?Yeah but it can make things happen, and they know that. too.
yes on the face of it you'd think that would be a good thing, but he's ill, so I don't think he's likely to travel anywhere out of the country anyway ..If nothing else, this warrant keeps him Russia, perhaps.
Neither is the USA, China, India, Saudi Arabia, and several dozen more.It is highly unlikely that much will come of the move - the ICC has no powers to arrest suspects, and can only exercise jurisdiction within its member countries - and Russia is not one of them. [emphasis added]
Can or will he be tried in absentia? Anyone know?No likelihood of him being arrested..
They've started over less, but it seems rather silly to start a world war because of a failed invasion. No one started a world war over Russia or the US invading Afghanistan, or the US into Iraq, or Israel expanding its territory in Palestine. OK Hitler started a world war, but his goal was obviously world domination, and he was progressing rather rapidly in that quest, so other countries eventually got involved, while Russia can't even make it to second base in Ukraine. But predicting global politics is never on solid ground.Will this lead to world war 3? Especially with the China meeting in Russia??
Makes sense @JustDave, But the way the world is going today, it will only take one of the many kooks in today's world to push THE button...They've started over less, but it seems rather silly to start a world war because of a failed invasion.

Like his insiders who are itching to take over, his people getting too embarrassed to stand it, his opposition getting bolder, the countries he still holds influence over getting tired of his crap....yes ..like what tho ?
