Compare with the recent ICC indictment of V.V. Putin. The indictment is obviously not enforceable, but is intended to send a message that the West will continue to double down with regard to the War On Ukraine.
That the indictment focuses on the charge of taking children from a war zone seems bizarre at first, but this charge was chosen specifically because the Bush, Cheney or Blair could not be readily accused of doing anything similar, thus attempting to sidestep the obvious question why the ICC indicts Putin ignores the far worse crimes committed by the perpetrators of the War On Iraq.
"the West will continue to double down" - more and more overwhelming confirmation on this point. Since the first - I believe Polish around March 2022 - supply of the weapons out in the open that's been my impression. We are heading towards nuclear. The populace doesn't seem to mind.

This blatant hypocrisy is entirely intentional.
