    Great, great. And your promise to (checks notes) arrest him?

      I mean at this point the U.S. set some precedent that it’s okay to just kidnap heads of state, so long as you can claim self-defence. Somehow, with his threats of nukes and actual invasions into Europe I feel like that self-defence claim would be warranted in our case. Moreso than the fucking U.S. at least.

        Doesn’t the Hague have a standing warrant for Putin’s arrest? Same with Netanyahu, who they let fly through European airspace unmolested.

        If you don’t enforce your laws then you have no laws.

    Meloni can go fuck herself. Macron I think he at the very least will be trying to make it favourable for Ukraine, but still. Putler is the cause of Trump stealing the 2016 election and instigating fascism, and so he needs to be tackled.
