In terms of fascist illiberalism the US actually beat Russia to the punch on this one by 24 years.
When Putin is in his bunker ,just pour concrete over it ,problem solved .
Baltics get ready.
Keep an eye out for international public figures falling out of high rise windows.
Good
Eta: dishonest framing. From the source listed in the article:
Putin signed a law on the use of the Russian Armed Forces to protect Russian citizens abroad Moscow. May 25. INTERFAX.RU - Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law on the extraterritorial use by decision of the head of state of formations of the Russian Armed Forces to protect Russians. The document was published on Monday on the official portal of legal information. The law was developed in order to protect the rights of citizens of the Russian Federation in the event of their arrest, detention, criminal and other prosecution in pursuance of decisions of the courts of foreign states vested with powers in the field of criminal proceedings by other foreign states without the participation of Russia, and international judicial bodies, the competence of which is not based on an international treaty of the Russian Federation or a UN Security Council resolution adopted within the framework of the exercise of powers. provided for in Chapter VII of the UN Charter
Idk, I've never been worried about getting sent to the Haag, but then again, I don't really do war crimes.
Would you also say "good" if Trump created a law that let's him deploy troops into Europe if the ICC declared him a war criminal? Because that's in essence the law Putin signed.
Too late, Bush already fixed that.
