I’m not Putin fan, but this is a joke. No one is going to arrest the President of Russia and try him for war crimes.

German Justice Minister Marco Bushman has said that he will execute an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin if he sets foot on German soil.

"I expect that the International Criminal Court in The Hague will swiftly approach Interpol as well as the contracting states and ask them for enforcement," Bushman told the Bild am Sonntag newspaper on Sunday.

According to Bushman, Germany would then be obliged to detain Putin if he enters German territory and hand him over to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.

And why would Putin go on German soil. This is just bluster. And if they actually did this...it would be extremely risky/dangerous move and set a very bad precedent.

Don’t like a leader, we can’t kill them...that’s illegal. But just get an arrest warrant and replace him.

Russia has plenty of complaints about war crimes committed by Ukraine too.

That is why nothing will come of this except yakky yak by blustery Zeeper types and propagandists.
