Why would I think anything is "legal". I'm asking you to distance yourself from this type of thinking because no one, influential (the actual players), are operating under such assumptions.
You see this in various fields, but when it comes to the world stage it is just incredibly odd to cite. It will lead to poor predictions and allow you to be hoodwinked by irrelevant arguments.
It's as if your friends are bloodying each other's noses over the results of a new board game and you keep quoting rules from Hasbro.
I understand the assumptions you are operating under, but civility/sovereignty are contracts not states of being.
And proposing that the fight for Ukraine is an attempt to preserve this contract is just fucking hilarious coming from the mouths of the usual suspects.
Well said. Unfortunately most of us little people (whether reddit or here) are working under those those assumptions and basically pawns of the higher powers. We're kept that way intentionally through constant propaganda and poor schooling. Not understanding how the world works while getting morally outraged over everything makes it easier for politicians to push us where they please.
What's your argument exactly? Do you think that Russia could legally annex Ida-Viru or Latgale as well?
