Both under pressure from the judiciary: Russia's dictator Vladimir Putin (left) and Donald Trump (then US President) in Europe in 2017

DLNews Politics:

What do these two arrest warrants mean for the world?

First, it hit warmonger Vladimir Putin (70). On Friday, the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague announced the arrest warrant for the Russian President. Ex-US President Donald Trump (76) could be behind bars as early as Tuesday. He told it himself on social media.

Putin

What is Putin accused of?

According to chief prosecutor Karim Khan (52), Putin committed or was responsible for war crimes. Victims are thousands of abducted children from Ukraine who were "adopted" and brutally re-educated in Russia!

Is he going behind bars?

Questionable! Only 123 of 195 countries worldwide recognize the Criminal Court in The Hague as the supreme authority. Putin could use it to vacation without expecting imprisonment in Egypt, Syria, and even the USA. In case of doubt, he will be guaranteed impunity before traveling (e.g., for peace negotiations) ...

Judges in The Hague will "request the investigators from Interpol for enforcement."

How does Putin react?

Calm, predecessor Dmitry Medvedev (57) jokes on Telegram: "The idiots in Europe want to arrest a stranger, and in America, their president is being arrested."

What is Trump accused of?

Compared to Putin's war crimes - little! He is said to have distributed hush money through his lawyer during the 2016 election campaign, e.g., $130,000 to porn star Stormy Daniels, 44, to cover up an alleged affair (which he denies). A grand jury is deliberating on whether Trump violated campaign finance laws. He is also said to have declared the hush money "costs for legal advice."

Is he going behind bars?

This needs to be clarified. The grand jury in New York is scheduled to decide whether to indict him this week. But, for today, prosecutor Alvin Bragg (49) has invited a surprise witness to convict Trump.

How does Trump react?

He is calling for protests because the judiciary wants to exclude him from running for the White House again "based on fabricated allegations" to make political profit from the affair.

Why is the case so delicate?

It could be the first time a former US President will be indicted. If convicted, a US federal law would prohibit him from running again for the 2024 election and, thus, a second Republican term.
