Yes. Russia is actually less democratic now than the Soviet Union.

No.
The ICC’s warrant was symbolic. It may have more effect on how Xi deals with Putin.

Putin will just go to the countries that will protect him. He will send people to UN gatherings. and international conferences.

There is no sign the war will end. The Russians cannot make progress with their offensive. Putin has tried his best to shutdown all the many off ramps he has been offered. We will see how the Ukrainian offensive goes in a few months, but it is doubtful they will be able to completely defeat Russia.

Meanwhile, trump will die sooner or later. If no one else kills him, then old age will kill him. So a war that could easily go on for decades, and a leader who will probably not be alive a decade from now... It is easy to see how Putin might not outlive the war.

Will Putin be arrested for war crimes?

If someone else takes control of Russia, and wants to get Putin out of their hair, then yes. Putin being arrested as a war criminal is very possible.

Everyone said it was impossible for Milosevic to be tried for war crimes, but he was. Putin might follow Milosevic's example.
