Hello! It is not possible to storm into Russia and do nothing.
But ICC has 123 member countriesPutin travels to any of them, he can be arrested.
Which countries stand behind/support the ICC?
Goran
There are 123 pieces, here you can see a list.
In a way, it might be more interesting who isn’t. For example the USA, Russia, Israel and Sudan.
If Turkey is arguing that we are lax about those they think are terrorists, why aren’t we pushing as hard for them to do the same to the so-called Kurdish fox?
Tired of the NATO business
Hello! It is difficult to know what was said in these negotiations, but in short it can be said that it is Turkey that has the upper hand and can make demands as it is they who must approve Sweden – not the other way around.
