Pardon me...I was raised Christian.I ignore whataboutist arguments, they're the argument of one who has no other arguments.
So was Hitler.Pardon me...I was raised Christian.
I don't believe in Gods. I do believe that all nation states must obey international law and uphold universal human rights. Especially the USA.Do you know why? Because God won't tolerate double standards.
From a legal and juridical point of view, Putin is right. 100% right.I don't believe in Gods. I do believe that all nation states must obey international law and uphold universal human rights. Especially the USA.
However until we get a supranational authority to take the role of World Police, officially, we have to make do with what we've got. I and many Brits and Americans disowned the Iraq invasion and I myself have frequently called for Tony Blair and George Bush Jr, to be charged with war crimes.
That doesn't give Putin the right to butcher his way across eastern Europe, and annex sovereign territory, using absurdly false and illegal pretexts, as he does.
After Russian soldiers had moved in. So, completely worthless. Not legitimate or legal.Crimea and the other four regions made referendums that showed that those regions want to be part of the Russian Federation.
That's simply mindless. A ridiculous and absurd statement.They are Russian-speaking regions. So they belong in Russia.
Well that's something I guess. It sure does not.From the point of view of methods, he is 100% wrong. Because that doesn't justify an invasion
Do you know what the "right of nations to self-determination" is?That's simply mindless. A ridiculous and absurd statement.
Do you know what territorial sovereignty & the rule of law, is?Do you know what the "right of nations to self-determination" is?
Territorial sovereignty is worth less than zero if a state violates the right of a nation to self-determination.Do you know what territorial sovereignty & the rule of law, is?
Highly unlikely. You can always hope though.
Hate to burst your bubble but Israel will come before Ukraine.
I watch the news and podcasts and all sorts. Ukraine is very busy, retiring Russian orcs. One by one.And just like that the Ukraine war isn't in the main news much anymore. Its all about Israel.
That's a relief.And just like that the Ukraine war isn't in the main news much anymore. Its all about Israel.
One crime doesn't justify another, but unpunished crime incentivises more crime of that sort.For the record, I neither condone nor defend any misdeeds America has committed. Also, America's wrongs don't excuse anyone else's wrongs.
@Estro Felino ?So does that mean Germany can invade and annex parts of Austria? France with Belgium, etc.?
It depends on the situation.
What if Austria invaded, coerced a fraudulent referendum, tortured and executed the Italian speaking civilians in that region who didn't wish to join Austria, launched missile attacks upon Rome, Venice, Naples, etc. and started stealing and shipping pizza ovens back to their home country (apparently Russian troops stole so many washing machines and toilets that it became a meme)?It depends on the situation.
In South Tyrol most people speak German.
If Austria decides to invade this small region and annex it after a referendum, I am absolutely sure that our government wouldn't fight back, before using diplomacy.
Italians won't sacrifice human lives for the sake of a small region. They're not that stupid.
Also because people speak German there.
On the contrary...it seems that Ukraine is disposed to sacrifice millions of Ukrainians, if necessary.
It's a self-destructive war.
I was speaking hypothetically.What if Austria invaded, coerced a fraudulent referendum, tortured and executed the Italian speaking civilians in that region who didn't wish to join Austria, launched missile attacks upon Rome, Venice, Naples, etc. and started stealing and shipping pizza ovens back to their home country (apparently Russian troops stole so many washing machines and toilets that it became a meme)?
You mean Moscow.Not the barbaric animalistic methods used by Kiev.
