As a thought exercise, if some nation decides to roll the dice and arrest Putin. What exactly do people expect to happen next? Russia would just shrug and just go onto a vice president and accept that we arrested their president? Or nuclear blackmail? Nuclear attack? Retaliatory kidnapping of leaders in those countries? I predict arresting the leader of Russia would not go nearly as smoothly as the idiots in the ICC and Washington in London believe.

Exactly. There's this story of a Russian diplomat who was held for ransom by some African or Middle Eastern country. Russia tried to negotiate his release but was told to pound sand.

Russia then captured several of their men and had their heads gift-wrapped, or so the story goes.

Anyway, even the Italian Mafia was in awe and feared the Russians.
