Peter GleickWhen Putin comes to Alaska, he will be the second world leader to visit Trump with an outstanding International Criminal Court warrant for his arrest for war crimes. The other is Netanyahu. Wonder why Trump hasn't turned them over, as international law requires...
punIssuer@petergleick@fediscience.org Maybe some country should follow USA's lead, declare him a terrorist, and intervene militarily…
Quinn Norton@petergleick@fediscience.org to be strictly technical, as non-signatories to the ICC, the US isn't obligated to arrest Putin. France, etc, on the other hand would be obligated to arrest Netanyahu, but I wouldn't get one's hope up.

punIssuer@quinn@social.circl.lu I mean, if I were head of state, I'd definitely assure him I would not arrest him, but only to arrest him should he arrive. AFAIK, cops are allowed to lie to catch criminals…
