Last Friday, I expressed my increasing concern, echoing those of world leaders and citizens of the world alike, over the events unfolding in Ukraine.
Today, I wish to announce that I have decided to proceed with opening an investigation into the Situation in Ukraine, as rapidly as possible.
Ukraine is not a State Party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court ("ICC" or the "Court"), so cannot itself refer the situation to my Office. But it has twice exercised its prerogatives to legally accept the Court's jurisdiction over alleged crimes under the Rome Statute occurring on its territory, should the Court choose to exercise it. The first declaration lodged by the Government of Ukraine accepted ICC jurisdiction with respect to alleged crimes committed on Ukrainian territory from 21 November 2013 to 22 February 2014. The second declaration extended this time period on an open-ended basis to encompass ongoing alleged crimes committed throughout the territory of Ukraine from 20 February 2014 onwards.

If they’re not a signatory then YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO DO SO.
In fact you’re in violation of your own law you claim to uphold.
Well apparently they did it before, so apparently they do have that right
No - they didn’t.
Ukraine agreed to honor an ICC verdict, voluntarily. There was no investigation on Ukraine soil, nor was an investigation done on behalf of the Ukraine government.
Well we’ll see how that goes
You have to admit, watching them try and arrest Putin would be funny to watch. Either it takes him six months to walk back from Siberia or he gets mailed in pieces back to The Hague.
I can’t decide if it’s
August 1914 or September 1939.
Sure has that feel about it.
Putin would have to kiss all those Western European trips goodbye
I know what you mean
Ahhh… an open-ended gig means BIG $$$ for as long as they can draw it out..
And by then, whatever they conclude won’t matter to anyone..
I think the use of CBUs on civilian areas that contain no military installations would fit into the category of "encompass any new alleged crimes" and most especially so when there are at least two videos of the event.

Thats what I’m thinking, wonder if Vladimort planned for that?
If the Archduke equivalent is assassinated, it’s 1914. If tanks roll into Poland it’s 1939.

If both, it’s 2022 ?
Clearly this is one of those paradigM shifts maybe a Fourth Turning even
Will they get the billion if they don’t fire the prosecutor?
So far I’m thinking 1979.
He probably does not care since he must have authorized the use.
If an underling did it without authorization VP would publicly have him executed to gain favorability.
