It's not going to happen, Putin is going to get a good chunk of what he wants and he will just sit a plot until a later time when he can do it all over again

Why waste the time.

Just kill the bastard and get it over with.

There is no reason to speak with him at all.

I don't expect you to understand why.

We all do; but I'd also like the US to join the International Criminal Court we want to use on others. Bit hypocritical for the US to ask for it to only apply to others.

He'll never see the inside of a cell.

He'll either take his own life or escape to China to live in exile.

And we have murdered and bombed civilian targets, that's also hypocritical. But because it was poor muslims the world didn't seem to care. anyway, that's an aside.

Eventually Europe and US need to get involved if this slaughter continues. **** Putin. Hopefully his countrymen take him out

Yes but if he's committed war crimes...and I think he has now...if he leaves the country in the future, he'd be arrested. Wouldnt he? If a country allowed him entry at all.

To me that's one reason that he's already painted himself into a corner, successful in regaining Ukraine or not, he's now a war criminal. He has nothing to lose. If anything, all he has to do is try and keep his oligarchs happy...and I'm pretty sure that will fail, win or lose, because why would we relax economic sanctions against Russia if he wins?

And IMO he doesnt give a damn about the impacts on the Russian people. I hope that they recognize this and become the 2nd 'war' he has to fight at home...spending $$ and resources at home to stop protests.

Good call. But if it goes that far, the carnage he's left behind will be just horrendous. "Later rather than sooner" :(

We never did it like Putzin has in Ukraine. We never intentionally hit civilian targets.

Kind of reminds me of Chile's notorious General Pinochet.

He visited London, and by chance an ordinary citizen was able to use English law to detain him.

Yes, he was released and returned to Chile.

But this humiliation eventually led to his being voted out.

Of course, the Kremlin's war criminal will not be traveling abroad.

He will never be punished -- at least not here on Earth.

A lot of evil individuals were never punished.

That's life.

But be patient. FATE often surprises one.

Of course two wars are never exactly the same; but that's a false statement that we never intentionally hit civilian targets. You're going by what officials say - which is like going by Putin saying that he is not attacking any civilians. Nice words, not correct. The issue here isn't a competition. It's justice for each wrong.
