Yes, as long as Putin doesn’t have anyone defending him (e. g. soldiers or an army) then the ICC will be able to just march right up to the Kremlin, open the front door, and walk right into Putin’s office where Putin’s executive assistant will demand to see the arrest warrant, which the ICC will have in their hands now and will have no choice but to go along with them in handcuffs in a van and drive from Moscow to The Hague, where he will be held in custody until his trial date. He will be given one phone call but, since he doesn’t have his cell phone contacts, doesn’t know anyone’s numbers so he will stay in his holding cell until his lawyer can get him out on bond. But, since oil prices got so high last year, he won't be able to afford his bail because he’s still paying off all the expensive gas he had to buy so he’ll just have to sit in a cell until the trial starts.
Of course, this could start as soon as Tuesday of this week and, once the Russian troops in Ukraine find out, they will immediately surrender unconditionally and will probably give some of Russia to Ukraine for their trouble.

I assume you wrote this Opinion in jest. Putin will never be arrested by the ICC while he is the supreme Dictator of Russia. Putin will die suspiciously or disappear but he will never be arrested by the ICC. Once Putin is gone from power in Russia the War in the Ukraine will end. Putin engineered that War on his own. The Russian people do not support him but if they speak out they are arrested. But the losses to Russia are mounting and it can not last much longer.

@Cambria. Supreme dictator? Uh, he elected. And has strong support from the Russian people.
That's like the U. S. narrative that Chavez and Maduro in Venezuela, or Assad in Syria, were brutal dictators.
I'm not a huge fan of Putin, but he is more honorable and sensible than most U. S. presidents.
And the idea that Russia is losing to Ukraine is more U. S. propaganda. Russia could have gone in with "shock and awe" the way the U. S. did to Iraq. But Putin at first went in with a measured response to Ukrainian (U. S.) aggression and, like Assad, made it a priority to minimize civilian casualties.

@Lliam Putin is a Dictator and the elections in Russia are a sham. As Long as Putin is in power he can never lose the rigged elections they have. Potin is a War Criminal now and will do everything he can to avoid arrest by the ICC. He will no longer travel to the West where he would be arrested. If he was innocent Putin would want to clear his name. Instead he will hide in Russia and its Puppet states.

@Lliam Please dont do that.. Its ok to question main stream media, but not questioning non-main-stream-media and even take that as "the truth" is just as bad. Putin has started this war, he said so himself.. i have seen a truckload of footage, both russian and ukrainian, mainstream and not so main stream, and what you are saying is also a main stream "narrative": from Russian State TV

No, and I think he is really a dictator that needs to be stopped however I believe this was done to try and cause internal harm to his government rather than justice for Russian people or Ukraine. I'm not saying Ukraine doesn't deserve justice it's just at the end of the day without all the hashtag movements and slava ukrainia statements on Facebook and social media, no one really cares about what happens in Ukraine. The only reason everyone pretends to care is because a white country is under attack, I mean Palestine is under attack daily for 75 years, Syrians are under attack daily since 2011 and Libya is a constant state of civil war and no one cares or even justifies what arab and other brown people face in terms of war. But a white country like Ukraine gets attacked and all of a sudden the world notices and takes in Ukrainian refugees without any cap on their numbers like they did to Muslim, arab, and African refugees fleeing worse war zones. So I say again this move by the ICC was politically motivated and not some humanitarian effort for Ukraine.

daily? palestine HAD cease fires with israel until palestinian violated the cease fires for example on oct. 7, 2023.
I would be surprised. I think it's more like "show that we are doing something". I'm from Eastern Europe, the whole place could burn, I don't really care but I find this arrest warrant hilarious. There is a long list of people who should be arrested for war crimes. Including US leaders.
This is some 'avert the public attention' propaganda again.

I'm sure they won't. He's a powerful man, there are many countries that don't follow the ICC orders and let's not forget the nuclear weapons. Plus, there are leaders who are afraid of Vladimir Putin, so obviously they won't confront him.

The issue is the man has 10x the enemies as he has in terms of friends he's backed himself into a corner where traitors could be everywhere as he demands loyalty and respect but doesn't do the same. As a result he keeps people like himself around himself and ironically leaves himself in a metaphorical torture cell. Of never knowing who or what will two face stab him in the back.
And the irony of this all is Russia's military leader culture has been one of slaying their leadership when its no longer convenient to have them still alive.
Google up Russia's "surviving" WWII military leaders and 99% of them conveniently all die like 1-5 years post war. There is no real loyalty in Russia its all forced. Like a "fake smile."

If he is in custody, he will not be in a position to launch a nuclear attack.

certainly I. C. C. cannot. each country judges its own citizens.
Court issues admittedly only western countries do judge their own soldiers, so maybe we must distinguish that putin is relevant.
u. s. voted against creating the court due to several DETAILS in the agreement, and rejects its authority but in the big picture, for some countries do need deterrence when they do certain actions.
u. s. voted against creating i. c. c. due to its details when a country can judge its own, as above, it is beyond i. c. c. authority, as explained
still in the big picture such a court is needed for the many countries who do not consider certain actions a crime. for example the nazis had NOT violated local law when they did the real #genocide to jews, so the mass murder was not for german courts.

Who would arrest him? How would they do it? Hitler likely had an arrest warrant for years, you have to win a war first, we can't just nuke the Kremlin and send in Maimi Vice. Emperor Ping is doing lunch with him tomorrow to talk limitless coalition. It served no point but to illustrate Nato and Un's impotency to the detriment of us all. My eye is on Paris, there is enough burning garbage in their streets and a record rat infestation underfoot of a riot and maybe Monday, there won't be a Paris, and the EU starts to worry. Supplicants to the WEF should be concered...

I think this gives a reason for Russia to look at handing him over themselves. It could give a way for Russia to take care of their own fuck up if they wanted to. This would probably never happen but that's what it made me think of. Someone in the Russian military would need to turn big time and get others to follow the lead. This is not going to be good long term for Russia.

@Friendlybro79 Did any one arrest trump, or Biden? politicians realize that the people they lord over are to mentally indoctrinated and reliant on government handouts to ever take action against those suit wearing snakes. Look at January 6th, it was condemned as a action of treason by mass media, and every poltician. But when Americans fought the British during the 1700s hundreds they were considered heroes only because they won. Modern day citizens of any country, especially dictatorships are cowardly and pussy footed to ever have the back bone to stand up to politicians in mass numbers. This is the reason why modern governments will never change.

Exercise in futility and just optics for political gain.
However it isn’t imposible that Russian oligarchs could organize and attempt a bloody coup. But Putin is more than paranoid and prepared for that.
Well entrenched dictators aren’t easy to remove unfortunately. The develop this “cult of a personality” which brainwashes too nah people to believe 2 + 2 = 5.
If you don’t believe me then why did heinous people like Pablo Escobar have tens of thousands of people morning his death and still protecting him when he was on the run (and proven to be absolute pos). Cult of a personality is the reason. And this megalomaniac unfortunately has nukes.
So good luck arresting that. He probably has some sort of contingency set up that if something happens to him he will have some diehard follower press the red button.
10 Reply Nah. Trying to even come into physical contact with him to arrest him will be a feat of itself. And even if by some act of God that were possible, I imagine he would try to retaliate against the world for real then.
People are saying Putin would never launch nukes or do this or that because he knows it would harm him or Russia in return, but if Putin was truly in a situation with his back against the wall where death or imprisonment were his only options, I do believe he would do something extreme as a last strike before he died. At that point he would have no care about the rest of the world or even Russia for that matter, so he could very easily decide to launch nukes. He would probably figure: if I'm going out, then I'm taking you all with me.
So I think all this arrest warrant news is just more political theater from the West.
10 ReplyIt was a performative move for the most part to be honest.
But I can see the real intent of such move, which is not about arresting the President of Russia but an attempt to drive a wedge between the BRICS members. Brazil and South Africa are signatories of the Rome Statute, whereas Russia, China and India don't.
Now it kinda complicated the diplomatic relations between the heads of state of Brazil and South Africa with their Russian counterpart. They've been put between a rock and a hard place, because they legally have the obligation to comply with the arrest of the President of Russia if he ever makes an official visit to one of those countries, but at the same time are partners in an political bloc.

There’s little to no chance of it happening. Barring a coup, no-one in Russia would ever arrest him. And he very rarely leaves Russia.
Dick Cheney has also had an arrest warrant out for him for maybe 15-20 years with as much likelihood of success.

I made a post about this. It’s an attempt to get America in the war.
America doesn’t participate with the ICC, because of lack of compatibility with the Constitution.
However, other NATO members do. Any attempt to capture Putin will obviously be a declaration of war or will lead to one.
Once a NATO ally is attacked, America is obligated to fight.

@CALIGVLA I salute your ability to conceive of Russian Presidential elections as being free open and honest. It is an even greater accomplishment to see Xi's election as democratic after purging his non-supporters. Including one being removed as the vote was being taken. Note I come from a parliamentary democracy so I don't object to it being a parliamentary vote for the office.
Perhaps though you are criticizing my use of the word dictator rather than anything else. I'm happy with autocrat or autocratic if you prefer those terms.
