As with almost any legal question the answer will depend heavily on specifics not easily determined from a few minutes of video clip.
>Can Putin or whoever is responsible be charged in court for this?
Assuming it does constitute a war crime then theoretically: yes.
In actuality: no, because of course you can't just waltz in and arrest the dictator of a nuclear power.
The “rules based international order” is a sham and always has been. This is made obvious by the US based empire’s total disregard for other states’ sovereignty when it doesn’t suit them.
For what it’s worth I oppose this war as I oppose virtually all wars. It’s tragic and I wish it were unnecessary.
Yawn.
Of course the victor writes the rules, but the International Criminal Court has the support of most of the UN. If you believe democratic society is fundamentally a good thing then it follows that the Pax Americana has been, in aggregate, a tremendous success in normalizing and codifying international law.
Is the current state of affairs imperfect? Of course.
"Winners write history" is such a boring, undergraduate take on geopolitics.
The period of relative peace in which we live is called the Pax Americana because it's primarily driven by US military hegemony and there's no escaping that fact.
For what it's worth, I'm not American.
The ICC is a great example of why “international law” is a dead letter if not a total fraud. I’m sure you’re aware that the US based empire doesn’t acknowledge its authority. The US based empire permits the ICC to act only when it serves the empire’s interests. So much for normalization and codification.
Finally, I never said “winners write history.” I said they write the rules. Conflating the two is intellectually sloppy or a straw man. So much for reading comprehension.
