Looks like they are finally bringing the Russian president up on war crimes charges and the abduction of children across international lines.

How do you all think this will impact the situation in Ukraine and international relationships as a whole?

Do you think Putin will comply with the warrant if/when executed?

Does ICC even have authority in Russia? Even if they did, would Putin even comply?

Still...a step in the right direction as far as public opinion goes I suppose.

Putin's press secretary said that they don't recognize the international criminal court and he would have to fly to one of those countries to even be arrested.

Purely symbolic, but fully earned. Putin and his POS crony Trump should both be lined up against the wall for the numerous crimes they've committed.

So what? George W. Bush is officially a war criminal too. Nobody cares.

Symbolic gesture I guess.

It's sad they posture. Putin has seemingly committed such war crimes, but it's just a non-issue for Russia and Putin.

Kind of a sad legacy when your last years of social gatherings will look like this...

But near future optimism reflecting on the idea with this clip, considering how a good number of these people are dead.

About as effective as Trumps indictment. Weak attempt at grandstanding with little backbone.
