RUSSIA BURNING – PUTIN IN MONGOLIA, THE HAGUE NEXT? Vlog 794: War in Ukraine

Video Summary

To many, it’s astounding that Putin is traveling to Mongolia, a country that has signed the Rome Statute and is obligated to follow the demands of the International Criminal Court. The court has issued an order to arrest Putin for stealing Ukrainian children and bringing them to Russia, changing their identities, and committing part of what the UN considers genocide. Despite this, it’s unlikely that Putin will be arrested, as Mongolia is heavily dependent on Russia and doesn’t want to offend them. This visit is not about commemorating the victory of World War II, as it’s been done many times before. It’s about demonstrating that international laws don’t work and that rules can be broken with impunity. This is a problem for modern democracies, as they struggle to punish war criminals like Putin, who is a “classical bully” using their power to get away with crimes. The European Union and other organizations have addressed Mongolia, but so far, there has been no response. The author of this piece believes that Mongolia will create a “dangrous precedent” by ignoring international law and that it’s only a matter of time before Putin is arrested. The world is fragile, and only operates effectively when rules are followed.
