I'm actually curious to see if this ICC warrant has a knock on effect. I doubt it will but who knows. Maybe some of putins henchmen distance themselves or flee ship, maybe countries on the fence turn their back on putin. Will be interesting to see if anything comes out in the future.

Russia is going to make a knockoff ICC and will start sending warrants between Iran and North Korea for the arrest of Mark Hamil and the hosts of the Eurovision Song Contest

They should promise a $100 mil bounty and full pardon to any Russians who bring Putin in. Even if no one goes for it, imagine how paranoid it would make him.

I don't think GoFundMe or whatever would allow this. Would have been funny to watch it explode in popularity and collect a ridiculous amount of money. Talk about someone this reviled worldwide.

Wonder what would happen if he flew to a country he thought was an ally but because they're heavily sanctioned by the US they instead arrested him and handed him over in order to get sanctions lifted.

Best case is when Mr. Putin hares off to UAE or some such, on a dumb official visit to make sure all the spice is flowing, Russia loudly announces they've got a new man in charge, we wash our hands, take him if you want him but he's not coming home, dip immunity is canceled, the fancy jet is already on the way home and he's not on it. Never happen but it's a nice little pipe dream.

The cowboys can join in if they want but I wouldn't recommend it. The point is to get Putin's inner circle to start weighing their options, and to make Putin realize that they're weighing their options.

Biden says Putin deserves to be charged as a war criminal

Reuters posted:

WASHINGTON, March 17 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden said on Friday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has clearly committed war crimes and the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision to issue an arrest warrant for him was justified.

The ICC earlier on Friday called for Putin's arrest on suspicion of unlawful deportation of children and unlawful transfer of people from Ukraine to Russia since Moscow's invasion began of its neighbor last year. The United States is not a member of the ICC.

"He's clearly committed war crimes," Biden told reporters, referring to Putin.

"Well, I think it's justified," Biden added, referring to the warrant. "But the question is - it's not recognized internationally by us either. But I think it makes a very strong point."

The United States separately has concluded that Russian forces have committed war crimes in Ukraine and supports accountability for perpetrators of war crimes, a State Department spokesperson said in an emailed statement.

"There is no doubt that Russia is committing war crimes and atrocities (in) Ukraine, and we have been clear that those responsible must be held accountable," the spokesperson added. "This was a decision the ICC prosecutor reached independently based on the facts before him."

The ICC move obligates the court's 123 member states to arrest Putin and transfer him to The Hague for trial if he sets foot on their territory. The ICC also issued a warrant on Friday for Maria Lvova-Belova, Russia's commissioner for children's rights, on the same charges.

A U.S.-backed report by Yale University researchers last month said Russia has held at least 6,000 Ukrainian children in at least 43 camps and other facilities as part of a "large-scale systematic network."

Russia has denied accusations that its forces have committed atrocities during its invasion. The Kremlin said on Friday the ICC arrest warrant against Putin was outrageous, but meaningless with respect to Russia.

That money was all stolen from Russian citizens, so a 10% finder's fee and then set up a fund for the rebuilding of Ukraine and denazification of Russia.

10% might be too much. 5% would more than do.

I reckon they should put a bounty on Putin too. Hell, offer total amnesty for any actions taken as part of the Special Military Operation and like a billion USD.

Just to make Putin's inner circle even less trustworthy than he already views them, while Putin wonders if they'd be considering taking it.

Strelkov had this to say this morning concerning the arrest warrant, as well;

quote:

NYT: Russia will not be able to achieve the lifting of international sanctions without complying with the warrants of the International Criminal Court.
Well, here is the “Yugoslavian scenario” - they “hung a carrot” for VIP officials and oligarchs. They lie, of course, - no one removed the sanctions from Serbia after the overthrow and extradition of Milosevic ...

He also complains about columns of Ukrainian equipment moving around;

quote:

And they are not afraid of either aviation or missiles ... with the labors of the Plywood Marshal, we cannot do anything to this column!
