@Max5"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.
