    "The issue itself is pretty simple really-Putin illegally brutally invaded and occupies a sovereign state, wasn't threatened or provoked by anyone, has breached various international undertakings, agreements and commitments his Federation made to the international community with most, if not all, his since and continuing justification already shown to be lies, just plain false or unsubstantiated. What is it now ? 8 million displaced ?
    How many innocent people effectively murdered ? I could go on and on."

    Putin has done what the US has been doing contentiously since the Vietnam War. Why is this situation any different to some of the examples from bellow? The US doesn't need to justify for intervening , destabilising, invading, bombing etc. sovereign countries around the globe for their own agendas. Right or wrong? You tell me.


    1. US invasion of Grenada – 1983. The United Nations General Assemblycondemned it as "a flagrant violation of international law" on 2 November 1983 by a vote of 108 to 9.[15]

    3. Iraqi No - Fly Zone - 2001 - 2013. This military action was not authorised by the United Nations.[5]
    4. Bombing of Serbia - 1999. It did not gain the approval of the UN Security Counciland it caused at least 488 Yugoslav civilian deaths,[73] including substantial numbers of Kosovar refugees.[74][75][76]
    5. Invasion of Afghanistan - 2001. According to Parliament briefing papers ‘the initial invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001 was therefore not conducted with the authorisation of a specific UN Security Council Resolution’[23].
    6. Invasion of Iraq - 2003. . On 16 September 2004, Kofi Annan, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, said of the invasion "...was not in conformity with the UN Charter. From our point of view, from the Charter point of view, it was illegal."[128]In November 2008 Lord Bingham, the former British Law Lord, described the war as a serious violation of international law, and accused Britain and the United States of acting like a "world vigilante".
