I don't see how your comment contradicts the statement "The us generally will extradite if your justice system isn't corrupt. There are exceptions, but everyone has them."
The fact that there is a US law to prevent US service members specifically from being detained by the ICC specifically, has little bearing on the statement that "The US generally will extradite".
- vkou 2y agoThese are the most meaningful exemptions. Sure, it'll extradite petty criminals, but it absolutely won't extradite politically useful[1] criminals, and will absolutely not allow the latter to have a fair trial. If that's acceptable and civilized behavior, I don't see why you can complain that Russia won't extradite a politically useful[1] criminal. [1] In the sense that their crimes are furthering the state's geopolitical agenda.
- throw10920 2y agoThat's a reasonable argument. I think that the response that comes next is "the Russian geopolitical agenda is bad", but that's a separate topic - I think you've convinced me on this point.
