Do you suspect that Putin would turn over his "war criminals" to the International Court? No, I am sorry, the Germans did not hold the Nuremburg Trials, and they weren't the ones who hung the war criminals. It was not Bomber Harris that was left swinging in the breeze. Nothing has changed but the posturing.

Do you think that if the Hague orders Putin to withdraw that he will pack up his toys, go home and throw himself at the mercy of the courts? Putin must be defeated in his bed or on the battlefield. Words don't mean much when bullets are flying.
