That's easy to say here on the Internet but the extra-national arrest of a countries current Head of State is no small thing and it's plenty likely that Russia (or any other country) would strongly object.

So why would they try to bring Putin back, so Putin can take their power?

All 120 or so people at the top of the Russian Hierarchy are loyal to Putin personally, that's why.

What happens when one of the 120 odd power brokers calls up the Hague and says "You release Putin and we stop war tomorrow and pay Ukraine 500 Billion in reparations. You don't release Putin and we come for him anyway."

That's some wicked calculus for the ICC to deal with.

Then you misread. I used the word "for" and not "in" Mexico.

When Wagner marched on Moscow , that was a direct thread to Putin. The military flew a few attacks against them, but for the most part Wagner just marched onto Moscow for days seized Russian towns and nearly all of the rest of the Russian security forces did just do nothing. So those guys who did nothing to protect Putin, when he a few thousand men marched against Moscow to take power are supposed to start a war to against a few million men, which are better armed and have nukes to bust Putin out of prison?

Since he'd be IN Mexico, at their invitation, where else do you imagine arresting him "for" Mexico?

Please, enlighten me on how you see this happening without it happening in Mexico.

To be fair the for an be read in two ways:

The US could do it instead of Mexico
It would be easy to in case you are Mexico
