247 - A journalist who presents herself as an independent Lebanese geopolitical commentator, @sahouraxo, questioned the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Russian President Vladimir Putin. She asked why the Hague Tribunal had never issued arrest warrants against US presidents, such as Barack Obama and George Bush, for war crimes in Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen.

“The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant for Putin for war crimes in Ukraine. When will the ICC issue an arrest warrant for Obama for war crimes in Libya, Syria and Yemen? Or for Bush for murdering over a million innocent people in Iraq?” he wrote on Twitter.
