Imagine my shock when, stoned out of my gourd, I see the ABC Nightly News headlines.

“Warrant Issued For Vladimir Putin’s Arrest”

And it’s issued by an “international” criminal court America has already deemed an unnecessary inhibitor to their colonial project.

I feel like the media is gaslighting us. Very briefly my sense of reality was annihilated. I was caught in a bizarre imperialist fantasy where nothing made sense. I wanted ask my sister what year it was and whether Kiev had finally sacked Moscow. I was convinced I had missed some major developments.

My fault for falling for the MSM clickbait, apparently.

      They’re willing to do this if European governments threaten any US officials.

        Laws mean nothing to wolves, especially if the wolves write the laws

    because I’m a masochist I sometimes put the news on while I do stuff around my apartment and earlier this evening I was cleaning my cat’s litter box and heard “an arrest warrant has been issued for Russian president Vladimir Putin” and burst out laughing at the absurdity of it

    • Me too, I sometimes read comments on Ukraine war videos, peak masochism but I can’t help it since I’m hoping for a few good ones and often see just about 5 or so normal ones.

    I saw that too lmao. It’s the same ICC that are grasping at every straw to find even one war crime. What are they going to do? And what are their expectations? Putin will certainly get on the first flight to Schiphol now.

    All this does is further discredit the ICC and make it even more irrelevant than it already was. Neither the US nor Russia recognize its authority. And neither do China, India, Turkey, Saudi Arabia or even Ukraine itself. This is a joke. Nobody who matters takes it seriously and nobody will enforce this ruling. The ICC exists solely for the imperialist west to bully weak global south nations, especially the African ones.

    It’s an open invitation for Maga fanboys with Ford F-150s to strap up and take down an oligarchy

    • He would never return. He would died in “mysterious circuimstances” or hell, they are at this level of derangement they would just lock him up and try to use as leverage or hostage to try to break Russia.
