It's extra hilarious that you actually posted the link which proves everything you said is false. Putin isn't an American service member and neither an American in general. He can't be 'extradited' if he wasn't here in the first place, and the article also states: > Additionally, the act does not prohibit the U.S. from assisting in the search and capture of foreign nationals wanted for prosecution by the ICC

You're missing the forest from the trees: Washington considers the ICC a complete joke.

  Maybe, but what you originally said is false.

    No, it is not. While the spirit of the law is to protect USA personnel and not official enemies like Putin, Section 4 prohibits any explicit cooperation with the ICC. My other comment included the clause "comply with the ICC", which is forbidden. It is your comments that are misleading.
