Yes its a crime committed by the participating NATO states, as I said international law is defined by the UN charter, that’s its bedrock and since both the US and Russia are signatories to the treaty then surely those definitions apply equitably to both parties?
Russia has the exact same voting rights as any other permanent member of the security council. It is not a crime to vote against resolutions tabled by the West, this is enshrined within the UN charter, its quite clear on the matter if you care to read it.
The US has in fact vetoed more resolutions than Russia/USSR during the course of UN History.
Indeed the US acted and was prepared to act unilaterally during the Cuban missile crisis over what was perceived as an existential threat and Russia is acting unilaterally today against what it perceives as an existential threat, is that right or wrong?
Is it right or wrong to act unilaterally and disregard international law? Seems the answer is “no” when its Western bombs being dropped and “yes” otherwise.
I never said Putin gave a hoot did I? I just explained to you that if the West can not give a hoot then so to can Russia.
Everything you’ve said so far appears to reflect a view that is the West is right and Russia is wrong, if there’s more to it than that then please explain because you’ve presented no rational reason.
