Good night indeed!
Search the internet for "Englishman", "UK", "BBC", "Time zone" first.
Secondly search for a map of Earth, you stated you are from there, try to find on it Ukraine, Russia, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Czech Republic, Poland.
You will be surprised.

Again, listing every military move by every other government as though it's some kind of excuse for Putin does not change the fact that Russia has invaded another country.
Either the laws apply, or they don't.
If they do, Russia is guilty of breaking them... as are we.
If they don't, we're innocent... as is Russia, because if they don't, then all that remains is the right of the strong.
What is it?
First to wish good night to English men.
Second: the countries involved in officially unofficial mission in spreading democracy and the topic is about them.

I can only answer for myself: we should have impeached George W. Bush, removed him from office and sent him to the Hague. Russia should do the same with Putin.

So are you saying that our previous violations of international law are irrelevant?
On what legal basis do you criticise Russia's actions then?

Exactly.
That was my point all along...
Of course WE want to argue from a standpoint of legal and moral integrity, and our leaders are pretending they do too, alas they've lost their credibility.
Putin is nothing but an ugly mirror for them, and now they can shout at him all they want...

All you are doing is repeating the same nonsense, as if the actions of other countries are an excuse for what Russia is doing. You are the one suggesting that because others have invaded other countries before, then Russia should be excused.

None of this makes any sense to a rational person. And if we go by your belief in this, the USA has every right to invade Russia in the future because Russia invaded Ukraine, and it was possible because America invaded Iraq, and that was okay because the Romans invaded Britain...

Stop trying to distract and deflect the debate with nonsense and really pay attention to what you are typing.
