Putin arrest warrant: What it means and what could happen next

The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for the Russian president Vladimir Putin for alleged war crimes in Ukraine.

That means Putin will not be able to travel to any possible future peace talks if they are held in a country that recognises the ICC.

And it raises questions over how realistic it is to expect that the Russian leader will appear in the dock.

If only the world treated Bush and Blair like this then I would take this news seriously the double standard is staggering.

[MasterVSolo]

I could think of a few past leaders that need arrest warrants out for them

[akseersyeed]

President Putin might have a heart attack of the laughter 😃

[conway]

Wow, it will take either a very brave or stupid person to attempt that. And if they manage to arrest him, do they honestly think they will hold him?

[jasonoludemi]

This will have credibility if Tony Blair is also indicted, arrested and prosecuted for his war crimes in Iraq. We must not be hypocrites!

Will Tony B liar receive one of these awards ? Hypocrisy at its finest

All this will simply anger the President and make him more violent and resentful.
It's a threat to his life ultimately , and could provoke an extreme response.
There was the opportunity to prevent all this happening , but it wasn't dealt with responsibly , leaving many victims.

There's a pretty fair chance of all those judges 'accidently' falling out of windows!
Quite a few of Putin's critics have been clumsy lately!! 😲

[rudydeclarisse]

If we're talking about war crimes.

Then the leader of all the countries in the world should be tried and arrested

[buglerplayz]

When US gonna be charged with war crimes on Iraq and Afghanistan

[JohnSmith-ohid]

How about adding Zelensky, Soros, Schwab, Fauci, Gates, Obama, Biden, Clintons?

[redpillnibbler]
