// how would they get him to The Hague for trial ?//

they cant travel - see above -

I asked that question as in : who would actually extract him from deepest Russia ?
Not as if Interpol or whoever would ever be allowed access
He would never be handed over to an international court
As I said as much as it ought to happen it never will

the leading case is Pinochet III

their lordships when they had got their wigs in order discussed to what extent an ex head of state was responsible for human rights abuses.

Oh whilst I am about it
Goering's war crimes trial ( the one where the american lawyer - ex supreme ct judge - screws it up) - was marked by the plea: " you cant screw me for indiscriminate bombing of civilian populations because the Allies did it themselves"

and look what I found a few days ago: The White Rabbit: played by Kenneth More - Frederick Yeo Thomas, french resister, appears at Nuremberg at the trial of skorzeny ( the one what rescued Musso inter alia). YT says the charge of dressing in the enemies uniforms and er shooting them would have to be abandoned, as the Americans did it as well.


Le dernier jour du procès du commando allemand Otto Skorzeny, le 9 septembre 1947, son témoignage contribue à l'abandon d'un chef d'accusation, celui de port d'uniforme ennemi, et finalement à l'acquittement de Skorzeny.

My siblings met Yeo Thomas in Paris but I was too young 1957

What in the crystal meth was that and what does it have to do with the thread ?

I don't think just starting a war makes you a war criminal, there has to be something more and worse. There's a book called Was Henry V a War Criminal? and the answer is maybe, not for rampaging across France but for killing prisoners of war.
