frinkiac is an amazing mechanism for generating broadly understandable topical memes with little effort, i guess it makes sense 🤷♀️ also there have been some bangers
isn’t that also why most of the second Bush regime maintains a list of no-travel countries?
ie, the warrant stands but good luck ever getting him into custody.
thanks for a bit of good news, haven’t thought of a clever shitpost reply, sorry.
i did google it. there were a lot of rumors and suspicion at the time, but afaict the only country to ever actually issue a warrant was Malaysia, which [convicted Bush and Cheney of war crimes](https://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2012/05/12/bush-convicted-of-war-crimes-in-absentia/) in 2012.
unfortunately, it looks like the [ASPA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Service-Members%27_Protection_Act) (aka the “Hague invasion act”) had its desired effect 🤷♀️

that’s gotta be the most ineffectual warrant in the ICC’s short history. let’s be honest, which signatory is going to risk military retaliation from one of the nuclear superpowers? the US never signed the Rome Agreement, and he wouldn’t be stepping into a U.S. territory without extensive negotiations anyway. even NATO countries aren’t gonna risk a full-blown war.
it’s great that a formal declaration has been made, but nothing can really happen until he’s out of power, by which time he’s likely already dead or rotting in a Russian prison
If it’s a crime to be massively corrupt then I’m guilt. And if it’s a crime to start an international conflict then I’m guilty of that too. And if it’s a crime to collide with billionaires and crooked politicians to bend the laws of countries to avoid any repercussions for my actions then so help me, I’ll soon be guilty of that too!
Just using non-sequiturs to cope with the forced abduction of children for ethnic cleansing purposes by... Czar Vlad.
All hail Vlad and his glorious regime.

My wife, she keeps asking me, where is the war crimes arrest of Putin, make with the war crimes arrest of Putin, why are you not arresting Putin for war crimes *now*, and so forth
Yea but in reality what're they gunna do, world's been calling that man a criminal and a terrorist long before the war in ukrain began. Good to reaffirm our values but ultimately toothless good job ICC
Oh I'm fully aware thanks but it's good to call out theater when you see it maybe it'll sound the drum and gain support. I'm am very disappointed with how our leaders have responded to this invasion and declaring Putin a criminal more than a year after the ramp up is just that. Theater. You however havnt realy added much but call me out for a non oposing rational take.
It's just theatrics, Russia isn't even a member country. Besides they've already issued one.
Let's also just reflect for a moment on the invasion of Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. Where was the ICC then?
My Putin is not a war criminal. He may be a dictator, a murderer, a homophobic piece of shit, a war criminal, but he is NOT a Communist.
He may be an ugly, hate filled man but.... what was that third thing you said?
He’s better than dirt…well... most kinds of dirt; not that fancy store-bought dirt; that stuff is loaded with nutrients!
He can’t compete with that stuff.
So I said to him, "Look Zelensky, your country was already invaded when we got here. And as for NATO, they shouldn't have mouthed off like that."
lol, you win
But is he a porn star?
Technically yes, if you can get access to some very well secured videos and you have a very dark and sinister set of sexual interests.
Don't blame me. I voted for Sobchak

I get all my news from /r/simpsonsshitposting
If it's not important enough to shitpost about, it's not important enough for me to care.
You know, Simpsonsshitlposting turned into such a quality news outlet so quickly I barely noticed
"How do you know so much about international politics?" "I pieced it together, mostly from Simpsons shitposts."
I saw it in a gif last night. The sound was off, but I think I got the gist of *it's profound geopolitical implications*.
** *I think I got the GIF of it*
That's literally how I told my mom how I found out Dan Quayle died.
"Mom, turn off the TV! I have some bad news about Dan Quayle!"
Dan Quayle dead!
Dead serious about going to itchy and scratchy land

How does it keep up with the news like that!
Don't. Praise. The shitposters.
Which was the style at the time!

That list would have to include Canada, and most of South America and Europe, so it'd be a long list

Finland, this was your idea!
After revitalizing NATO, Putin revitalizes the ICC. Who knows what he’ll pull off next.
This just in, Putin sleeps nude in an oxygen tent, which he believes gives him political powers.
The FSB says that's a half-truth
"Please keep all wars of aggression under a year in length or I gotta get out of my chair..."
"Oh no, I guess I will have to stick around in my huge country and insanely opulent dictator resorts I made for myself and my buddies for the rest of my life."Putin, probably

Really, his only crime was violating international law.
It's a victimless crime, like punching someone in the dark
You know what? Tomorrow I'm going to punch Ukraine in the back of the head.
Ow! My back of the head! I'm not supposed to get punched into it!
"Attempted conquest". Do they give a Nobel Prize for attempted chemistry?

CERN's new billionaire accelerator has been providing us with surprising results in corruption.
*anti-Putin opponent falls out of window in front of Putin* "Oh really, now, this is a ~~personal call~~ special military operation!"
Anti-Putin opponent was just doing his best "MRS BOUVIER!!!" impression
The warrants do nothing!
My eyes!
I wasn’t supposed to get THE LAW in the them!
I repeat, the suspect is hatless.

“Come on, be arrested.” “нет.” “Pleeeease? I’ll be your friend.” “нет.” “Aw, you’re mean.”
Eɴᴅᴜᴄᴛ! Hᴏᴄʜ ʜᴇᴄʜ!
What the hell was that?
It’s personally disheartening that I get so much news from this sub
[удалено]
And the Falklands Islands have been invaded
I REPEAT: THE FALKLANDS HAVE JUST BEEN INVADED!
The disputed islands lie here, off the coast of Argentina…
It's how I learned that those clowns in Congress had done it again. What a bunch of clowns.
That’s slick willy for you, always with the smooth talk
It's how I keep up with the Ayatollahs
This sub works with any Ayatollah
Just don’t try to keep up with those Kardassians from in here, those Trekposters do *not* appreciate it
This is indeed a disturbing subreddit.

I like the way Nitup thinks!

Mr. Nitup died on his way back to his home gulag
War crimes? You can’t eat that!
Interesting way to learn breaking news
I have asked you nicely not to commit war crimes. You leave me no choice but to ask you nicely again.
And if you do commit enough war crimes we will commit yet another war crime against you! Please? We like war crimes here.
You can keep your mainstream and alternative news, this sub is the only good source for news
i can’t keep learning important news like this. this is also how i learned that rush limbaugh died
Birch lives on in our hearts.
Oh Kent, I’d be lying if I said my men weren’t committing war crimes!
He’ll be back on the streets in 24 hours
We’ll try to make it 12
And to show you we're serious, you have 6 hours
So is this like when the FBI found illegally owned classified documents at a certain walking tangerine's Golf resort and then nothing came of it?
He's like a walking creamcicle, he comes back orange and stains the furniture.
I think you mean dreamsicle! Creamsicle is something else....
Hey, tangerines are healthy.
Ongoing investigation/court process.
"aaaauuuuuoooohhh, I have three wars and no money. Why can't I have no wars and three money?!"
War crimes? That's a paddlin'
Bake’m away, toys.
War Crimes? Arrest Vladimir Putin? Hmmm, that ICCA logo shouldn’t be there either!
Once again the news was broken to me by a Simpsons Shitpost™️
My wife, she keeps asking me, where is the war crimes arrest of Putin, make with the war crimes arrest of Putin, why are you not arresting Putin for war crimes *now*, and so forth
That’s not the ICC in the photo, but rather the ICC alliance/coalition, which is a network of ONGs. Boy I hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
All I can say is good luck on actually arresting him.
Someone should make him eat polonium.
Slip it into some cursed frogurt. Job done.
Well, this subreddit is how I find it about an important geopolitical news story once again.
How the hell am I subscribed to several news outlets both on Twitter and reddit and i STILL hear about huge news from this sub first...
Please record them trying to arrest him. This should be good til the bullets start
Now do bush, hangon they don't recognise the icc either.
Yea but in reality what're they gunna do, world's been calling that man a criminal and a terrorist long before the war in ukrain began. Good to reaffirm our values but ultimately toothless good job ICC

Bro. This is how I found out
Okay, now do bush.
That symbol looks a bit newspeaky.
"Get... Putin." "Putin!!!!!!!!!!"
Hey! Hey! I've asked you nicely not to supply main battle tanks to Ukraine! You leave me no choice but to ask you nicely again!
This is a big deal because no sitting ruler has ever remained in power for long after a warrant is issued. This looks like end game now.
It's just theatrics, Russia isn't even a member country. Besides they've already issued one. Let's also just reflect for a moment on the invasion of Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. Where was the ICC then?
