Put Putin on trial.

In light of the recent atrocities and the apparent inability , or reluctance , of the UN to take meaningful action against Russia , there are growing calls for an international tribunal to try Putin for the crime of aggression. (Something the ICC cannot try him for without a Security Council referral , which Russia would obviously veto.)

Their aim is to try and recreate something like the Nuremberg Trials. Not sure if this is a starter or not , but there is a petition which has been launched to try and give it legs.

There's one point though: Nuremberg was possible b/c the 3rd Reich was totally destroyed, it did not exist anymore when the Trial began. Hitler and Himmler did not have nukes, that's why it was possible. 😐

@Elessar Russia is the only country on the planet that can attack the USA [u]catastrophically[/u] (China can't, according to the US department of defense). As a result, Russia cannot be defeated by armed forces, but it [u]may[/u] be possible to ruin their economy to such an extent that they are no longer capable of waging another war. But we must clearly see what that would imply. We must clearly realize that, for Russia, it's a question of "to be or not to be". They will do [u]everything[/u] to survive. Even a famine in Russia with millions starving and dying would [u]not[/u] stop them.
