The US's opinions on the legitimacy of the ICC is not relevant to this at all. Russia's opinions on the legitimacy of the ICC is not relevant to this at all. It's not like Moscow is ever going to deliver Putin to any criminal court foreign or domestic.

No one concerns themself with whether Germany or Göring recognized the legitimacy of the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal. His neck was destined for a noose either way.

Yes, but before Göring could appear before Nuremberg a war needed to be won. Nothing anyone claims about war crimes, etc has teeth until someone with a bigger stick beats them into submission.

Isn't that how it usually works with courts issuing arrest warrants? I guess sometimes people turn themselves in voluntarily but usually someone has to actually go execute the warrant.

Hence why I don't see what the point is.

The idea that anyone is going to arrest Putin is preposterous.
