Arrests warrants issued for Putin's puppets as they are accused of war crimes

The charges relate to missile attacks on civilian infrastructure, in particular on the energy sector.

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Russia's former Minister of Defence and its current army chief, in a body blow for Putin.

Sergey Shoigu and Valery Gerasimov have been charged with war crimes committed in Ukraine between the period October 10, 2022 until at least March 9, 2023.

The charges relate to missile attacks on civilian infrastructure, in particular on the energy sector.

While acknowledging they may have been deemed as genuine army targets at the time, the collateral damage to civilians would have been "clearly excessive to the anticipated military advantage", the court said.

The ICC said: "The two warrants of arrest were issued following applications filed by the Prosecution.

"Pre-Trial Chamber II considered that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the two suspects bear responsibility for missile strikes carried out by the Russian armed forces against the Ukrainian electric infrastructure from at least 10 October 2022 until at least 9 March 2023.

"During this time-frame, a large number of strikes against numerous electric power plants and sub-stations were carried out by the Russian armed forces in multiple locations in Ukraine.

"Pre-Trial Chamber II found that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the alleged strikes were directed against civilian objects, and for those installations that may have qualified as military objectives at the relevant time, the expected incidental civilian harm and damage would have been clearly excessive to the anticipated military advantage."

Shoigu was recently dismissed from his post by Putin and replaced with Andrei Belousov.

All they have to do is cross the US southern border and check into the many safe houses prepared by the US at taxpayer/s expense.

"marcusclimaximus Humiliated As Attempt To Stiffen Flaccid Ukrainian Front Line In Kharkov Takes 3 Days, Ends In Failure!"

Even a helping hand from Express UK fiction writer John Varga failed, and rubbed marcus the wrong way, in the end.

Tell your Biden to tell your Elensky to withdraw what's left of the Ucrazian army from the future Russian Federation oblasts of Kharkov, Nikolaev and Odessa.

You cannot compare a people living in a time without electricity and during the time of transitioning when all the pre electric household goods and work and heating equipment, habits, experience and methods are still in place, to generations later when all of the old stuff is gone, the wood burning kitchen stoves and and hand tools, and the wood boilers and so on, and the stores that still sold parts and contraptions that you needed.

Living in your non-electric farm house designed, built, and equipped in 1880 during the 1920s is a lot different than going to your great granddaughter’s apartment or tract house in 2023 and removing the electrical panel.

Go pull up the comments from Zelensky’s aid yesterday. He’s a dead man squeaking. The cretan could said something decent but he said Russian s deserved it. He’s one of the NAZIs. The killing will contine until the hatered is quenched.

Obama/Biden are turning the Russians into, for the first time, enemies who hate America. That’s quite an achievement given all the leaders since 1945. The diplomatic note translates hiterland as Russia and no longer a state of peace with the United States, short of war. The spoken message was there will be retaliation.

800 plus American foreign military posts worldwide, care to place bets on what place is hit? I would guess AWACS/global hawks and in Syria. Maybe GK GE?

FJB and supporters

Damage control is useless. The PR war has taken on a new wrinkle.

Biden’s got real diplomacy to deal with and his mega-donar Ambassador to Russia. Biden has Julian in time for the debate, but he has Ukraine more pertinent than ever. Biden’s got no poker face, he’s got a bad hand and he’s got an AA Racist SecDef, and two campain manager clowns in Sullivan and Blinken. The stakes could not be higher, American lives as chips. Lets see if Biden’s personally rich enough yet. The arrogant nasty old man will be pissed and merry band of fools will play to the Russians strengths. Biden will throw down his hand calling Putin as bluffing and head to debate with American blood not yet dry.

I wouldn’t wish that on even a Zeeper.

Among others, the United States, Russia, China, India, and Israel do not recognize the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.

Who is going to serve the arrest warrants?
