@yogthos 😂 Did you see any UN vote approving the invasion of Ukraine? Also, they have not annexed any part of Syria. They are occupying it. That’s different. They will eventually leave just like they did Iraq and Afghanistan. As for Cuba, they do have Guantanamo but they also still recognize Cuba as the rightful owner of the land. They didn’t have the US version of a Russian Duma annex it. That’s the part you keep glossing over. Russia ANNEXED part of Ukraine.

Which UN document sanctioned the Iraq war again?

Unlike you trying to justify the atrocities NATO commits, I’m not justifying the invasion of Ukraine. I’m just pointing out that Russia isn’t doing anything that doesn’t follow the precedent that the US led “rules based” world order has set up. In fact, the invasion of Ukraine is directly modelled on the invasion of Yugoslavia by NATO where NATO recognized the independence of the breakaway regions and then had them invite NATO for support. US hasn’t left Iraq, and they were forced out of Afghanistan by the people of Afghanistan. They didn’t choose to leave.

As for Cuba, they do have Guantanamo but they also still recognize Cuba as the rightful owner of the land. They didn’t have the US version of a Russian Duma annex it. That’s the part you keep glossing over. Russia ANNEXED part of Ukraine.

Olympic levels of mental gymnastics here. You keep on digging there buddy.

@yogthos it doesn’t take mental gymnastics to know that NATO and the United States doesn’t annex other countries in whole or in part. They cooperate with the international community to prevent genocide and mass murder. Unlike Russia, who annexed part of Ukraine and committed mass murder among other #warcrimes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_crimes_in_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine#:~:text=the%20UN%20Human%20Rights%20Monitoring,some%20of%20them%20summarily%20executed.

They cooperate with the same handful of states again and again to maintain their power.

Over 6 million people have been massacred in the war of terror. That’s what mass murder actually looks like https://bylinetimes.com/2021/09/15/up-to-six-million-people-the-unrecorded-fatalities-of-the-war-on-terror/

@yogthos not to mention, NATO attacked Yugoslavia to stop genocide. Are you advocating genocide? You seem to take issue with the prevention of it.

Exactly the same excuse Russia used to intervene in Ukraine.
