20. They did issue a warrant for Putin - is Russia a "poor country"?

Russia withdraw from the ICC agreement (when it realised it could be had up), but Ukraine didn't, and since Putin's crimes took place in Ukraine, they investigated and issued the warrant.

If the attacks happen in international waters, it may be harder for the ICC process to start. If Trump and Hegseth attack inside Venezuelan waters or on land, there'll be more of a chance. But Trump will go ballistic at the first sign - he'll seize the money of relatives of court officials, tell Visa and Mastercard to block their transactions, and anything else he can do to fuck up the lives of anyone vaguely associated with people who work at the ICC.

Has Nuttyahoo been arrested? MarineCombatEngineer Dec 1 #10

You initially argued the ICC didn't have jurisdiction Anxy Dec 1 #13

The ICC does not have jurisdiction over US matters, MarineCombatEngineer Dec 1 #16

You have not explained why you think ICC doesn't have jurisdiction in this case Anxy Dec 1 #19

You really think Israeli Security Services would allow a foreign nation to arrest Nuttyahoo? MarineCombatEngineer Dec 1 #18

Your premise is invalid as Israel is not a poor country Jose Garcia Dec 1 #8

It is valid because I addressed Israel after addressing poor countries. Anxy Dec 1 #11
