Senate Russia Hawks Sick of Waiting on Sanctions | Semafor

Even some Republicans now are saying out loud, yeah, Putin is absolutely playing Trump. Meanwhile Trump the senile fella, is sitting there playing with his Lego bricks and saying "Putin loves me!" "We don't appreciate the elder abuse!" says Joni Ernst. I mean it's either Trump is the biggest idiot in the world or he is a Russian asset.

Interesting that many republicans haven't drank the trump kool-aid.  And that seems unusual since most politicians of the same party will have a shit eating grin while parroting back whatever the POTUS says.

Shame they still won't call out Trump though, they're framing it as if poor old Trump is being played and they can't stand for that, nobody disrespects Trump! As if he is some senile old man in a nursing home in need of defending, which is incredible framing considering he is the President of the United States, Lol. They'll never say the truth that Trump is a complete idiot being played by Putin, or simply, Trump is a Russian asset, they still have to give Trump an out but he won't take it, Republicans are still cowards for this reason.

🇷🇺 Putin has no plans to travel to the Vatican or elsewhere for peace talks, per Bloomberg.

Italy, a member of the ICC, is legally obligated to arrest him under the 2023 warrant—making such a trip diplomatically impossible.

What a load of horseshit, Lol. The Vatican is a sovereign state, Italy has no jurisdiction over it, even if it did, Italy isn't going to arrest the President of Russia (sadly) even with them being part of the ICC. We've already seen multiple countries ignore the ICC for Netanyahu and that dude is far less relevant than Putin, Türkiye is also not part of the ICC so what was the excuse for not going to Türkiye for peace talks?

Dude is just a cowardly little prick who has no intention of peace.

There are no airports in the Vatican, so Putin would have to fly into Italy then travel on to the Vatican.

Not that Id be crying if Putin was arrested.

True but there's still zero chance Italy arrests him when he has an invite from the Pope himself, it would be a huge drama between Italy and The Vatican. They likely wouldn't arrest him even if it was Italy because it's peace talks and they need to entertain this horseshit for idiots who still believe Putin is negotiating in good faith. Obviously I'd rather he were just arrested, well, I'd rather much worse things happen to him. Any citizen who takes him down would be a hero.
