@Cyricist001 Are they just arguments but not strictly legal?

@Cyricist001 ... I am not sure why we are talking about what is legal.... The west functions on what they call the 'rules based order' where they make up the rules to suite themselves..... Not based on a capitalist idea of personal property but on what the very few want right now. This has been going on for hundreds of years. About what is 'legal'.... Murder is particularly legal and encouraged under some legal paradigms.... Arguing what is legal seems to me not only abstract but impertinent and confusing. I can imagine that russia makes the argument that what they are doing is legal based on what was deemed to be legal before... It is reasonable to think they would...

@Cyricist001 U seem to have some background that I don't.... My objection to the 'is it legal' argument is that their ain't no law.... If a nation has the force and can get away with it, it becomes law.... Might makes right and legal... ... I like to argue semantics.... I hate it when leftists world wide use 'socialism' as a stand in for good stuff and contrast it with 'capitalism'.... I feel like the west is descending into 19'th century style feudalism and dumping capitalists precepts.... The west is deindustrializing where as many places in the east are industrializing... So, how can you call people who destroy capital capitalists and call those who create capital 'socialists or communists' ? .... This is perhaps the argumenta I feel most strongly about right about now. Michael Hudson argues the same way then he reverts back to a more neo classical economic nomenclature...
