Will Vladimir Putin show up for Trump's inauguration?

We heard that he invited Xi of China to the big happening but, so far, no invite for Putin?

In my opinion, the invite to Xi was to validate and legitimize the person he really wants to celebrate with on his special day.

But after all his "Russia, Russia, Russia" proclamations, it might look a little fishy?

But I would not be surprised. There is nothing more that they would like to celebrate than the victory of authoritarianism over democracy and Trump cannot wait to bend the knee for Vladimir and show him his great works.

Let every dim bulb in this country see what they voted for or otherwise supported (loud talk, no action).

That would be so interesting though. Once Trump is president, I'm sure Putin would be released.

Maybe I'm mixed up, but I thought there was an ICC warrant for his arrest? Biden would honor it; Trump likely wouldn't.

I don’t believe the US is a member of the ICC.

but a Russian plane would probably have to pass over countries that are, which would be too risky I should imagine (Canada, for one)

After all, he knows how easy it is to anonymously assassinate anyone on the move.

He will not show, he has an ICC warrant for his arrest, he will not risk it. Also, Head of State visits are always coordinated weeks in advance, and Biden is President until noon on 1/20, I doubt he’d agree to allow Putin into the US.
