He also says, “Yankees, hands off Putin!” The fact that the U.S. (like Russia, like China, like India, even like Ukraine) hasn’t recognized the ICC’s jurisdiction is irrelevant to this rhetoric.

I’m already bored of the predictable responses to the ICC arrest warrant for Putin. (Applause where you’d expect it, indignation where you’d expect it, etc.) P.S. Here is Margo Simonyan threatening to attack any country that would dare arrest Putin. pic.twitter.com/MnmzLbuAkl

I think that the second ICC arrest warrant, for Maria Lvova-Belova, is far more important than the one for Putin. It says that a middle-rank (cabinet-rank, basically) official will be considered responsible for the crimes she committed on behalf https://t.co/9hXZmVzKEl… https://t.co/TMwluymmeY

Russians are in full butthurt mode today. Girkin believes the West is so confident in its victory, it wouldn't have issued an arrest warrant for Putin otherwise 🤣 pic.twitter.com/6XS21k4y4j

From now until the day he leaves office, every iota of the Russian state will be oriented towards one singular goal: the survival of Vladimir Putin.

Putin long ago subsumed Russia's interests into his own. He will now expropriate Russia's future to safeguard his present. https://t.co/au5l9892je
