Ukraine's embassy in Mexico has asked the government to arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin if he attends the October 1 inauguration of President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum.
I disagree - Mexico is a Rome statute signatory, meaning that (theoretically) they’re legally obligated to arrest Putin on arrival as the ICC has issued a warrant for him
Afaik their diplomatic neutrality wouldn’t override their legal obligations
It’s Mexico. $500 would override their legal obligations.
(Please don’t crucify me, I spent a lot of time there and absolutely love Mexico, it’s culture and it’s people ❤️… But damn if I didn’t spend a lot of money on bribes)
Then offer more. A quick end to the war to save $100 billion or so is worth a lot of money. Offer enough and maybe even the cartels decides they’d like to help uphold the law
What are the odds they’ll do that? Or that Putin just won’t show up then? Could he do that?
Zero. We’re staunchly and traditionally neutral on foreign conflicts, for better or for worse. :/
