The Mexican president on Thursday rejected a request from Ukraine’s government to arrest Vladimir Putin if the Russian leader defies an international arrest warrant and attends the inauguration of Mexico’s next president in October.

“We can’t do that,” President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador told reporters at a regular government press conference.

      The US is not a member of the ICC. Their arrest warrant on Putin has fuck all to do with the US. And besides, under no circumstances would the US desire the arrest of Putin. We won’t even allow Zelensky to use US-provided munitions to target Russian airfields; you think we’d risk nuclear retaliation by arresting their president??

      I get that you didn’t put much thought into this post, but god damn. That space between your ears isn’t just free real estate.
