Why not send Biden to Navalny? –

/ world today news/ The Russian investigative committee opened a criminal case against the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and three of its judges, who signed an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin. The message of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation states that these actions are clearly illegal, as there are no grounds for bringing the Russian leader to criminal responsibility.

And this is still a rather mild qualification of the actions of these individuals. The main reason for the deliberate illegality of the actions of the judges of the ICC is the blatant lack of jurisdiction of this court.

Let me remind you: last week the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin. On the grounds that he “is believed to be involved in the illegal deportation and transfer of children from Ukraine to Russia.”

There is no hard evidence of “involvement” among the so-called judges sitting in The Hague. As well as the facts of the deportation itself. For which they consider, as they say, without batting an eye, the voluntary relocation of disadvantaged children from the long-suffering Donbass to the peaceful cities and villages of the Russian Federation.

But the main thing here is to please the foreign hegemon. This is what the ICC, formally unaccountable to anyone but regularly receiving political and financial support from the EU, is diligently doing. The Hegemon reacted in a flash.

Not a day had passed since the announcement of the decision to arrest Putin, when the Yankees, in the person of their current leader Biden, publicly approved it.

“Putin has committed war crimes!” said elderly Uncle Joe. Either he does not know, or he has forgotten, in connection with his rapidly failing memory, that even for his country the Hague Court is not equal to a decree. Washington does not recognize it.

The Kremlin reacted calmly to the “presidential order”. Moscow once participated in the development of the Rome Statute of the ICC. In the year 2000 she signs an agreement. But sixteen years later, she refused to be a member.

And the Hague Criminal Court is not included in the UN structure. Which is no less important. So his decisions are empty words for us. It has long been known how they are “sculpted” there.

Thus, Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, emphasized:

“We are seeing (now) such a number of openly hostile acts in the world towards both our country and the President!” .. We fix this, but if we take each one to heart, then nothing good will come of it. We take it easy and continue to work. The most important thing is that the president continues to work.”

And representatives of the Russian embassy in the United States did not remain delicate, comparing Washington’s policy to “sluggish schizophrenia.” And reminding the citizens of this country how their government usually resents the ICC’s interest in violations by Americans.

In a word, this is nonsense with this Hague order for the Russian leader. It would be possible, as they say, to shake it off and forget it.

Moreover, of the 123 countries that ratified the Rome Statute of the ICC, about a third immediately declared that they did not want to quarrel with Russia. Among them, in particular, Brazil, which is one of the global players. Among the EU countries, Hungary has a firm position. Her representative did not sign the Hague judges’ decisions for Putin. Announcing that “his side is taking it into consideration and does not wish to comment on it in any way.”

What is remarkable in this whole story is the arrogance with which the West decides the fate of individuals and entire countries that prefer to build their lives on models different from those of the West.

It didn’t start yesterday. Not from the Ukrainian crisis. Suffice it to list the names of the world leaders of those independent nations who, at the suggestion of the United States, by their own hands or accomplices, have been killed, executed, or put to death on false charges during the last quarter of a century.

Slobodan Milosevicformer president of Yugoslavia who died in prison in 2000. after several years of waiting for the judgment of the Hague Tribunal. Sixteen years after his death, the ICC, which at the time replaced the International Tribunal, completely acquitted the former president. But publicly he did not admit the error of what he had done.

Saddam Husseinpresident of Iraq. In 2003 American and British troops, under the pretext that Iraq was illegally developing weapons of mass destruction, started a war in that country. Three years later, Hussein was captured and then hanged. It later became known that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Muammar GaddafiLibya, In 2011 The US provoked a coup d’état in the country. Gaddafi was killed by the rebels. According to Washington, he is “guilty” because he deprived the Americans and the British of control over their oil and gas fields and forced them to close their military bases.

Jovenel MoisePresident of Haiti, 2021 He was killed because he dared to disobey the nominal “owners” – Americans who consider the island their own …

The current order for the arrest of the head of one of the largest (by territory the largest!) countries on the planet at first seemed an inappropriate joke to European Russophobes. Decided to have some fun amid the ongoing geopolitical crisis? Turns out they weren’t kidding. They are seriously waiting for Moscow to get scared, fall on its knees and ask for mercy.

The Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation did not remain obliged. She opened her own case with the ICC. According to the famous TV presenter Dmitry Kiselyov, perhaps we should go even further.

For example, to open impeachment proceedings with the announcement of an international search for Biden as well. For his slander and disrespect to the Russian government. There were so many insults against Vladimir Putin that, given his age, he was given a “life sentence”!

According to Kiselyov, the chances of Biden’s extradition in the event that the Republicans led by Trump return to power in the United States are high.

“In this case, old Joe will have every chance to end up in the same colony with his beloved Alexei Navalny, unless the Russian court pardons him in view of his advanced age,” Kiselev said.

“To have the American leader convicted and declared internationally wanted in response to the Hague court’s decision to arrest Russian President Putin, Moscow may cooperate with China and Iran,” said military expert Konstantin Sivkov.

“We can create an International Criminal Court made up of these three countries and put the president of the United States on the wanted list. No one bothers us. For the American president in this case, travel everywhere will be closed,” he said.

The famous political scientist, publicist and analyst Rostislav Ishchenko has a different opinion.

“I see no point in Russia opening a criminal case against Biden. If only because there is no one to give it to us. This is, first of all,” says Rostislav Vladimirovich.

– Second, the ICC, unlike our General Prosecutor’s Office, has a legitimate international right to demand the extradition of those it considers guilty.

Third, for President Putin personally, the current requirement of the court in The Hague threatens only a certain restriction of movement around the world. No more.

“SP”: That is, the “terrible request” of the judges from The Hague in fact – fiction?

– If it was, nobody would be worried. No, it creates some tension in relations with other countries. In the case of Westerners. It complicates visits, negotiations.

It is no secret that the personal meetings of the leaders are not only a general exchange of views, but also certain agreements that are usually made behind closed doors and not made public. Diplomatic activity is also limited. In a word – isolation (partial – taking into account the jurisdiction of the ICC – “JSC”).

You can, of course, invite to your place, to your territory. But, again, this is not always convenient for everyone.

“SP”: It looks like a mental attack!

– That’s true. It will now be difficult for Russia to reach out to partners who have ratified the ICC agreement. Among them is South Africa, where the BRICS meeting is to be held in the summer. They have already stated that they are “aware of their legal obligations”.

“SP”: Having made the arrangement at the same time that before the summit they would still “discuss the situation with various interested parties”.

– Diplomatic ploy, most likely… There may be problems with India as it has “signed”. With Brazil, on which the US will most likely begin to “press”. Thus, not only purely moral problems are created, but also prerequisites for a possible discord with friendly partners.

“SP”: One of your colleagues is convinced that this story could not have passed without the native “fifth column” …

– Yes, nothing is left of her in Russia. Everything is outside. in warm countries.

Also, the ICC judges and those who run them, believe me, don’t care. They tried to muddy the waters, shouting that Putin allegedly fucked them in the SVO. What we heard: So go and fight! In the US, they have long been over.

Political scientist Dmitry Solonnikov, director of the Institute for Modern State Development, continues the topic.

– If we, like several dozen other countries, do not recognize the ICC, what prevents us from creating our own legal institutions? asks Dmitry Vladimirovich.

– They are important and necessary. In particular, to avoid situations like the current one. We created BRICS and SCO in our time.

Currently successful promising international organizations. It is within their framework that you can organize your own judicial international body. Where the real, not the imagined, of a hegemon, international law will prevail.

SP: It will take time. Does Russia have it?

– Active work must be done for this purpose. It can be done in a few years. The warrant for Putin’s arrest is the very impulse that, it seems to me, should push our government to concrete action.
