Attorney General Merrick Garland says in announcing a war crimes case against four Russians accused of torturing an American during the invasion of Ukraine that U.S. authorities “will never stop working to bring those responsible to justice.”
Fair point but that just raises the obvious point that Americans would never recognise the authority of a foreign court, even of their allies (like the UK for example) so do they really expect Russia to respect their ruling?
They aren’t trying to hold those 4 Russians accountable in international courts, they’re charging them in American courts
