Serbian genocidaires did eventually have trials, but they didn't have nukes. There is nobody who can go arrest Putin, so really we can only hope that he will lose his grip on power to eventually face justice. If he does lose his grip on power, he may well face justice at the hands of his deposers before the west gets their chance. And BTW it's not like the US has much moral high ground on the issue of international justice for war crimes, not with folks like Eddie Gallagher not just free but celebrated by many Americans. If you're a big important country with nukes, there is no bigger authority that can compel just outcomes for war crimes.

Russia has many billions in western banks. It will be legally tricky to get to that money but I think there is more enthusiasm about doing some of those things, particularly if the money goes to rebuilding. Of course Ukraine has a lot of corruption and the US has shown in Iraq and Afghanistan that it sucks at rebuilding without losing most of the money to corruption on a local level and a US contractor level, so hopefully we have learned some lessons and can do better.

Crazy stuff. Not sure how easy it will be to punish this sort of war crime, but at least these looters should be readily identifiable. The whole Russian army is rotten.
