So an arrest warrant has been issued by the International Court of Justice for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. The little man in terms of stature, intellect and presence has been humbled in front of the world. His skewed vision of a renewed Russian empire is in tatters, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has failed, the Russian neighbour has resisted the fascist invasion of their territory and embarrassed what many thought were a military superpower – the world now knows this is a falacy.

This arrest warrant issued for Putin will curtail his international jet setting, he is locked into direct flights to aligned countries. Putin can no longer travel to G20 meetings, the UN General Assembly or any economic forum. Russia is a big country and Putin has amassed an immense wealth, he has plenty of options within Russian borders. Should Putin be deposed as leader, he may be handed over to the International Court of Justice in The Hague for trial by his own country.
