The Russian dictator Vladimir Putin will surely be held accountable by the International Criminal Tribunal, aoording to Errol Mendes, professor of law at the University of Ottawa, Canada.

“One should look at what happened to Milosevic to understand what fate awaits Putin in the end. He believes he is invulnerable and out of reach. He is convinced that he will never be held to account. Milosevic thought the same,” says Mendes.

According to the expert, Milosevic’s accountability became possible thanks to the West’s unwavering stance on punishing serious crimes.

“This may take 10, 20 years or even longer, but Ukraine and its allies need to start implementing the same strategy that allowed Milosevic to be brought before the International Criminal Tribunal. I am convinced Putin will end up there as well.”

    If US will want to move some troops or tanks there

    Now they have to fight to be there and China can help Russia to defend, on Russian soil.

    To me that’s a clear advantage.

    Btw, the US cannot reach Mongolia without crossing Russia.

      Now they have to fight to be there

      If you read my comment carefully, you would see that my point was: there is no advantage in doing so.

        They don’t have to come through Europe.

        By the same logic they don’t want to cross China to reach Beijing.

        The empty Russian land would be much better.
