Putin Hints He Won't Go to G-20 in Brazil Over ICC Arrest Warrant

#Russian President Vladimir #Putin offered a clear hint that he won’t go to the #G20 in #Brazil next month, saying his presence would disrupt the summit after an arrest warrant issued by the #ICC for #war crimes. #politics #worldnews

“I understand that even if we exclude the ICC, this will be the only topic of conversation,” Putin said Friday at a meeting with media representatives from #BRICS states. “We will essentially disrupt the work of the G-20.”

As a member state of the ICC, Brazil would be obliged to arrest Putin under the warrant issued in March last year. #SouthAfrica asked the Russian leader not to attend last year’s summit of BRICS states because of the warrant, though Putin traveled to #Mongolia another ICC member state, without incident last month. He skipped the G-20 summit last year in India, although it isn’t a signatory to the ICC.

Whatever you may think about the man, he is intelligent and never publicly dishonors the office that he holds. He always carries himself with dignity and professionalism unlike the foolishness we see being displayed by the current U.S. administration.

Whether you like it or not this is one of the smartest men in the world. Watch a documentary on the guy and look at how he’s dealt with other countries leaders as a politician. This guy has really schemed knived and worked his way up the ladder. All that I can respect. The reason I like him though is because he genuinely cares about his people and his country and he doesn’t make irrational decisions. America had been quite the opposite for a very long time. Even though I will vote Trump again I know he’s in cahoots with the deep state from what I saw in his first 4 years but even if he is secretly fighting for America it’s too little too late.

[carpblahblah]

He doesn't give a shit and you can see when the camera shows a close up of his face he's on his way out

[PATRICKDZOUZA]

He is doing good for his country as a leader
