Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is the death of international law - analysis.

[Mindful]

The narrative that democracy and international law were on the rise has now been squashed by Vladimir Putin.​

In many ways, this week saw the death of international law.


To be sure, Russia's invasion of Ukraine did not end international law's existence or its place in public debates among Western countries.


But if there was a narrative created since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the establishment of the International Criminal Court in 2002, it was that democracy and international law were on the rise. Now, that narrative seems to have been squashed.

Which we of course have NATO to thank for that.the lamestream media is saying Putin is the aggressor like Hitler and Stalin starting the conflict so thsts all the proof in the world the opposite is the case,that it’s NATO which is always the case.

International Law is one of those catch-phrases that people like to throw around but which has little or no meaning.

It makes people feel good to believe it exists but as soon as someone challenges the concept practically it evaporates like snow in July.

Even if their was a legislative body with the authority to create binding legislation for every nation in the world --- which their isn't. There is no international agency with the power to enforce such law.

If you believe international law has been broken, call an international cop.

Yeah, I had read some articles in which, Putin and Lavrov didn't even want to press the issue. . . but, the Duma, (Russia's parliament,) which represent the oligarchs and the people, are sort of pressing the issue. We see a bunch of "protests," and push back in western media, as if the Russian people are opposed to this war? IMO, they are either giving us mistranslation, or under-representing the nature of support for this move.

Just like Palestine, Gaza, do you still have Gaza fenced off, and you build more houses.

The article says it all:
International law is for cases in which strong Western countries can force a weaker country to turn over a former leader for atrocities or when a former weaker country leader is toppled by his own people and turned over.

Surely the invasion was a work of genius ?

Why am l not surprised?

Well, Russia was able to veto a UN resolution to condemn Russia's invasion, so that was a joke. The UN is pretty much always a joke.

She has her own special agenda.

Big, powerful countries that have gone around invading when and where they wanted have helped get us to this point. The U.S. is in no position to give morality sermons on the subject. Putin and Russia are wrong, but there is little anyone can do about it short of total war.
