putin is in real trouble this time! on september 3, he plans to visit mongolia. this move has attracted global attention! you know, mongolia is a member of the international criminal court (icc), and the icc has issued a warrant for putin, requiring member states to arrest him when he enters the country and send him to the hague in the netherlands. ukraine was even more unambiguous, and on august 30, it made a statement strongly demanding that mongolia arrest him.

however, kremlin spokesman peskov was not in a hurry, saying that russia and mongolia were fully prepared and there would be no problems.what is going on here? let's take a look.

first of all, the icc is a unique entity. it is not an organization under the un security council, so it is not backed by the un charter and the consensus of the permanent members. in other words, its authority and enforcement are really limited. in fact, china, the united states, russia and other countries are not members of the icc at all. this organization is more like a thing that western countries have done for their own interests. double standards are everywhere: they dare to issue arrest warrants for national leaders like putin who are against the west, but turn a deaf ear to israel's behavior in gaza. south africa's case against israel has been dragged on for so long and has no results.

now let's return to the protagonist of this international drama - mongolia. mongolia relies on china and russia, and is basically sandwiched in the middle, not offending either side. however, the united states is pursuing the indo-pacific strategy and regards mongolia as one of its targets. this year, blinken even went to mongolia specifically, hoping to engage in military cooperation.but can mongolia really take action to arrest putin?
