re: #56 Gus

This is getting ridiculous. I mean this stereotype of saying they’re “deeply concerned” is really pathetic at this point.

What else can they do?

They have no more power than the permanent member of the Security Council least inclined to intervene. Which in this case is Russia.

This is pretty much exactly like what happened in 2003 before the US invaded Iraq. Everyone knew it was illegal including the perps. Especially the perps as they intended Iraq to make the UN completely irrelevant.

They succeeded. I’m reasonably certain Putin wouldn’t have been pulling this shit if the US hadn’t showed that the UN is powerless if a permanent Security Council member doesn’t have to abide by the rules.
