Billion Dollar Mongrel: Alice Cooper once sang about Billion Dollar Babies -- but how about a Billion Dollar Bounty for Satanic Vlad Putin? Businessman Alex Konanykhin listed his puny million dollar bounty against Mad Vlad on social media, which wouldn’t even get Dog the Bounty Hunter out of bed after a beer-belly buster night out. After all, Putin has broken War Crimes laws every day since he invaded a peaceful, brother country on make-believe claims to slaughter women and children. But he rode a wild tiger naked!
Bounty Legality: Would it be legal for America to offer a Billion Dollar Bounty for a raging war criminal? Of course. First, consider the US WCRP:
Under the War Crimes Rewards Program (WCRP), the U.S. Department of State offers rewards of up to $5 million (USD) to individuals who provide information that leads to the arrest, transfer, or conviction of designated defendants accused of crimes against humanity, genocide, or war crimes by an international criminal tribunal, including hybrid or mixed tribunals. The Department of State’s Office of Global Criminal Justice (GCJ) manages the WCRP in close coordination with partners within the U.S. government, foreign governments, international tribunals, and non-governmental organizations. The WCRP has led to the arrest and capture of fugitives from the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). The ICTY has accounted for all 161 individuals it has indicted. Of the 90 individuals indicted by the ICTR, six fugitives remain at large.
International Bounty Hunters: Can a private citizen, like Bounty Hunter Dog, seek Putin? Possibly. The UN should legalize this, ASAP. See, International bounty hunters for war criminals: privatizing the enforcement of justice. The conclusion states:
"United Nations Security Council (UNSC) should pass a resolution that provides international bounty hunters with immunity from domestic laws for the forceful acts necessary to arrest an indicted war criminal. The international bounty hunter should have the same authority to use force as a civilian police officer pursuing an escaping felon. The UNSC should call upon both States and private organizations to fund the rewards offered for fugitive war criminals. International bounty hunters should have the right to cross international borders when traveling with the indicted war criminal to a location designated in the indictment for delivery of the fugitive. Given the examples of domestic bounty hunters, the successful efforts of private parties at locating Nazi war criminals, and the possibility of State assistance, the UNSC can reasonably expect international bounty hunters to capture indicted war criminals."
Why a Billion for Bad Vlad? Why should the US fund the tracking down, capture, or killing of Mad Vlad Putin? The reasons are many. First, Putin had no legitimate reason to invade Ukraine. Second, he has committed uncountable numbers of war crimes. Third, he slaughters mothers, babies and pregnant women on purpose, and blows up hospitals. Fourth, if Vlad is allowed to get away with this, the entire globe is much riskier for crazed tyrants. Fifth, hunting down Putin will put out a good message, like hanging a coyote carcass off a back fence. Sixth, it will allow America to reassert global dominance that castrated moron Biden handed over like halloween candy to trick or treaters. Seventh, a billion dollar bounty will be accepted and cashed in by some enterprising group. Eight, this will end the war, immediately. Ninth, a billion dollars to end this war would be a steal when it's killing hundreds of people a day and costing more than a billion daily. Tenth, it would be the Christian thing to do when so many innocents are being murdered.
America -- We can get this done. Let’s do it!
