Claim: Russia's annexation of Crimea was justified by the opinion of the International Court of Justice on the independence of Kosovo Fact: The court stated that their opinion was not a precedent. The court said they had been given a "narrow and specific" question about Kosovo's independence which would not cover the broader legal consequences of that decision.

Claim: The cases of Kosovo and Crimea are identical Fact: The Kosovo operation was conducted following exhaustive discussion involving the whole international community dealing with a long-running crisis that was recognized by the UN Security Council as a threat to international peace and security. Following the operation, the international community engaged in nearly ten years of diplomacy, under UN authority, to find a political solution and to settle Kosovo's final status, as prescribed by UNSCR 1244. In Crimea, there was no pre-existing crisis, no attempt to discuss the situation with the Ukrainian government, no involvement of the United Nations, and no attempt at a negotiated solution. In Kosovo, international attempts to find a solution took over 3,000 days. In Crimea, Russia annexed part of Ukraine's territory in less than 30 days. It has sought to justify its illegal and illegitimate annexation, in part, by pointing to a "referendum" that was inconsistent with Ukrainian law, held under conditions of illegal armed occupation with no freedom of expression or media access for the opposition, and without any credible international monitoring.

Claim: NATO has bases all around the world Fact: NATO's military infrastructure outside the territory of Allies is limited to those areas in which the Alliance is conducting operations. Thus the Alliance has military facilities in Kosovo for the KFOR mission. NATO has civilian liaison offices in partner countries such as Georgia, Ukraine and Russia. These cannot be considered as "military bases". Individual Allies have overseas bases on the basis of bilateral agreements and the principle of host-nation consent, in contrast with Russian bases on the territory of Moldova (Transnistria), Ukraine (the Autonomous Republic of Crimea) and Georgia (the regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia).

@serbianwarrior385 Claim: NATO's operation over Kosovo was illegitimate Fact: The NATO operation for Kosovo followed over a year of intense efforts by the UN and the Contact Group, of which Russia was a member, to bring about a peaceful solution. The UN Security Council on several occasions branded the ethnic cleansing in Kosovo and the mounting number of refugees driven from their homes as a threat to international peace and security. NATO's Operation Allied Force was launched to prevent the large-scale and sustained violations of human rights and the killing of civilians. Following the air campaign, the subsequent NATO-led peacekeeping operation, KFOR, which initially included Russia, has been under UN mandate (UNSCR 1244) see here , with the aim of providing a safe and secure environment in Kosovo.

@serbianwarrior385 How did that work out for you last time buddy hahaha it took 5 % of NATO to wipe you out and surrender within 2 weeks !! Dream on buddy Serbia is a weakling just like Russia its a joke of a side joke mix into your own myth making of pan slavism ideology power its a joke ! International Humanitarian Law and Accountability In its investigation Human Rights Watch has found no evidence of war crimes. The investigation did conclude that NATO violated international humanitarian law. SO YES NATO CAN STILL CALL THEMSELVES NATO=defensive military organisation right !! NATO's intervention was prompted by Yugoslavia's bloodshed and ethnic cleansing of Albanians, Serbia forces actions had already provoked condemnation by international organisations and agencies such as the UN, NATO, and various INGOs. som compared the events of Kosovo to the Holocaust. Belgrade's refusal to sign the Rambouillet Accords when that was initially offered to them, this refusal was a justification for NATO's use of force in accordance with International law that states all sovereign stats and nations have a legal and morel right to intervene if necessary to stop genocide being committed based on the humanitarian intervention laws of The UN Charter .. And this way make Belgrade abide and conform to International law and stop acting as a rogue genocidal state and Praha ; those force it back into the line of normal state and force it to conform to the Rambouillet Accords, in conformity with international law and the Charter of the United Nations. President Milošević was indicted for war crimes by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia along with a number of other senior political and military figures from your beloved pariah state .. SO WHAT NATO DID WAS LIGAL NOT AGGRESSOR OR ILIGAL !! NOTE ; The United Nations and international human rights organisations were convinced the crisis resulted from a policy of ethnic cleansing. Many accounts from both Serbs and Albanians identified Yugoslav security forces and paramilitaries as the culprits, responsible for systematically emptying towns and villages of their Albanian inhabitants by forcing them to flee to avoid being shoot and killed Atrocities against civilians in Kosovo were the basis of United Nations war crimes charges against Milošević and other officials responsible for directing the Kosovo conflict. Milošević brinkmanship pushed NATO to act when the Rambouillet talks collapsed and Milošević refused to comply with International law standards and agree to the Rambouillet Accords process

@DDiman11 NOT THE SAME !!!!! Russians in Transnistria and South Ossetia are an occupying force propping up illegal puppet governments that have no recognition internationally in the UN or any International forums or form any countries except Russia ,Belarus and maybe other nut job countries like North Korea in sort Russians is conducting Military occupation!!!! Although Transnistria declared independence in 1990, NO United Nations member recognizes its sovereignty and the region is considered by the UN to be part of Moldova. Currently, only Abkhazia, and South Ossetia recognise Transnistria independence, all themselves states with NO or limited recognition only by Russia, (for offices reasons of self interested ) Venezuela, , Nauru, and Syria how are dependent on Russia for different geo political reasons them as independent. .!! WHEN IT COMES TO KOSAVOs KFOR they have a legal UN security mandate this gives them the legal right in accordance with International laws !!! When it comes to Kosovo Force (KFOR), is provided by 28 countries with a UN mandate United Nations (UN), that gives the a legal right in accordance with International law that continue to work towards maintaining a safe and secure environment and freedom of movement for all citizens and communities in Kosovo regardless of ethnic background and social status . (Kosovo, KFOR is cooperating and coordinating with the United Nations (UN), the European Union (EU) and other international actors to support the development of a stable, democratic, multi-ethnic and peaceful Kosovo. ) And KFOR strongly supports the Belgrade-Pristina EU-brokered Normalisation Agreement (2013) and stands to support its implementation. Also KFOR derives its International legal mandate from (1999) UNs UNSCR 1244 mandate and form the Military-Technical Agreement between NATO, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Serbia.

Russia says NATO is using Ukraine as a nuke base and therefore letting Ukraine into NATO is to close to Russian borders is BS argument becouse NATO is already 150 km away to StPetersburg via Estonia and 500km via Latvia to Moscow (there is about 800km from Kiev to the Russian capital !!) the concerns of the Russian Federation regarding the possible admission of the Ukraine to NATO is merely a cover for a fear of democracy developing on its frontiers and therefor a threat to Putins dictator like leadership the modern authoritarian obsession with civil society repression dates back to how all NON-rational agent/ or rational being like exs KGB Putin is and how this paranoid ppl like him think and acts in other words "You Can’t Assume a Nut Will Act Rationally," and a nut that is manic-paranoid and narcissistic like KGB Putin is a special kind of nut !! . The argument of Moscow that Ukraine borders are dangerously close to Russia and its capital so Ukraine can not join NATO It is absolutely irrelevant in this day and age!!! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. Because Russia has also had and always have had at all times some Russian nuclear submarines plant off the cost of western nations coastlines armed with nuclear warheads YES !! load up with tactical nukes missiles and those subs are there 365 days a year undetected and reddy to launch the nukes or/and even drones with small nukes from there lunch base platforms ( Russia has its subs on nations porch as Putin likes to say) So Putin's reasons are weak to say the least his BS argument is they have (the west ) nukes on our porch (on the Russian borders act act )of of our beloved city of Moscow and Russia we need to react !.. . And Exactly JUST LIKE RUSSIA can and do have nuclear submarines (with nuclear warheads) plant of the cost of western nations coastlines; SO DO WE HAVE and the the west do it as well we plant our subs of the Russian coastline; Becouse the UK , France and USA has the same capabilities and their tactical nuke subs are planted, just out of Murmansk and in the Baltic sea and in the north pole and the Baltics sea !!!! Don't forget Estonian is only 150 away from St Petersburg if in the baltic sea or near Finland we are talking 2OO km its nothing !! SO LIKE I SAY THE ARGUMENT THAT UKRAINE WILL BE USED AS LUNCH PLATFORM FOR NATO IS JUST BS NATO DOES NOT NEED UKRAINE AS A LUNCH PLATFORM !!! (MAYBE BACK IN THE 60S this argument was a thing bit today with the tech of today its not an argument BUT NOT TODAY ) NATO is not a threat to Russia. Putin is using it as a bogeyman to distract from the poor living standard. Every Muscovite gets fed their daily dose of "Geopolitika", "Nuclear Weapons", "Russia Superpower" Putin the strong leader , US weak and so on and so on ... . It numbs the hunger and the cold for the average Russian with his Bolshevik mindset and sorrow of the loose of USSR superpower status . And her is a thought .. if and before someone comes with the Cuba nukes back in the 60s argument let me tell you this it was back in the cold war a was another time all together and The main difference is that Castro invited Russia with their missiles to Cuba to threaten the west while Ukraine’s young democracy has been invade in 2014 by a nuke power Russia and Ukraine is trying to protect itself from Putin’s dictatorship and aggressive actions of war, that has already killed 18000 Ukrainians forced 1.8 mill internally displaced Ukrainian refugee fleeing Russian aggression running away from Russian bombs that are hitting their city homes and schools ; And lets not forget Russia annexed part of Ukraine and is at this very moment running a proxy war inside East Ukraine to destabilize the county ! So if Ukraine is ask for some help it is understandable they are NOT asking any US or other western nations to send soldiers they are asking for some defensive weapons to protect themself and their families , Ukrainians are more than willing to do their own fighting .. So if the Ukrainian parliament and government are NOTdominated by CIAcontrolled «neonazis» and «fascists.» that are attacking Russians inside UKRAINE (and they are not the President of Ukraine is in fact Jewish himself ) and the argument of NATO getting to close is BS then what did Russia invade East Ukraine and Crimea for back in 2014 and why is Russia still acting as it does over Ukraine ?? Lets take a look shale we ? 1. Putin needs to deflect his people from domestic facts of economic problems of his gangster style corrupted control inside Russia.. 2. Russian is stealing the vast iron and coal resources in east Ukraine.. 3. Russia is stealing the newly found Oil deposits in the black sea and Azov sea 4 Russian only invaded after it was proved by geologist that Ukraine in fact has the 3rd largest gas fracking reserves this was something they only found out about in 2013 ..(Russia and Putin was afraid if a EU / US friendly government came to power in Kiev the EU and USA will move in start gas production and the EU will start buying its gas from Ukraine and not Russia ) Ukraine has Europe’s 3rd largest shale gas reserves at 42 trillion cubic …Russia’s silent shale gas victory in Ukraine The vast shale gas reserves in the separatist-held Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Lugansk regions are an important element not to be overlooked when analyzing the Ukraine crisis,

Claim: Russia has the right to demand a "100% guarantee" that Ukraine will not join NATO Fact: According to Article I of the Helsinki Final Act which established the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in 1975, every country has the right "to belong or not to belong to international organizations, to be or not to be a party to bilateral or multilateral treaties including the right to be or not to be a party to treaties of alliance." All the OSCE member states, including Russia, have sworn to uphold those principles. In line with those principles, Ukraine has the right to choose for itself whether it joins any treaty of alliance, including NATO's founding treaty. Moreover, when Russia signed the Founding Act, it pledged to uphold "respect for sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all states and their inherent right to choose the means to ensure their own security". Thus Ukraine has the right to choose its own alliances, and Russia has, by its own repeated agreement, no right to dictate that choice.

RUSSIA DOSE NOT CARE ABOUT NATO EU OR EVEN ETHNIC RUSSIANS ITS A SMOKESCREEN !! RUSSIA IS RUNING A WAR IN UKRIANE OVER UKRAINIAN GAS AND OIL !! Pavel Gubarev, the self-proclaimed leader of pro-Russian separatists in Donetsk, admitting in an interview with Russian television Rossiya 24 on 19 May that one of the key reasons for the fighting is Kyiv’s push to “continue development of shale gas on the territory of Ukraine”. If this is indeed the case, Russia managed to accomplish its mission – at least for now. Both Shell and Chevron decided to freeze and pull out from their shale projects in the region. Before the civil war, Ukraine had agreements with the energy giants to explore and tap its shale gas fields in hope to reduce the country’s heavy dependency on Russian gas imports. In the Donetsk Region Shell had a 50-year profit sharing deal with the government of Ukraine to explore and drill for natural gas in shale rock formations. At first, the withdrawal of Shell and Exxon seemed to be strictly Ukraine’s problem. However, if we zoom out and look at Europe’s energy map, the case is quite different. Besides Russia, the future of Ukraine’s shale gas if confirmed could be of enormous importance for both the European Union and the US. In addition to its own independence, Ukraine also had ambitious plans to become an exporter of shale gas to Europe – with the active contribution of the America and its business interests. Eduard Stavytskiy, then Ukrainian energy and coal industry minister, said in April 2013 that with the help of shale gas and Crimean offshore gas projects, Ukraine could start exports of gas to Europe in four to five years and to become a net energy exporter by 2020. As we know, by now, both of these areas are not under Kyiv’s control anymore.

What happens if Ukraine loses this war ! ? 1 Russian bases will established in western Ukraine in the City of Lviv 40km away from EU and NATO country Poland , and in Uzhhorod at the border with EU NATO country Slovakia only 5km away ;and in the city of Chernivtsi 10km away from the NATO and EU Romanian border . 2 The US and NATO will have no other choice than to redeploy troops in mass scale at levels of Cold War strength ; a massive cost of resources, manpower, equipment, and money ; And the west will have a massive unstable Russian aggressive military presence on its borders . 3 The US will have to choose between where it can be sending aircraft patrols to protect EU and NATO countries this will weaken world security as US need aircraft to protect Israel from Iran and protecting Taiwan from China invasion witch US will at that point not have ; speeding it’s AirPower thin and weak ! 4 There will be a massive panic of civilians inside Ukraine 10s of millions of refugees will flood EU and the west seeking safety running away from Russian tyrannical rule and occupying forces ! A economy crises for Europa that can not survive or handle. 5 . Then Black Sea will be total under Russian control and Russia can block off and strangle all shipping triad going from east to west and west to east for EU Black Sea countries like , Bulgaria and Romania and and none EU but NATO country like Turkey and for EU and NATO friendly countries like Moldova and Georgia. 6. But if the west helps Ukrainians to defend themselves and Ukraine WINS, against Russia then EU and NATO gets a massive boost from a grateful capable military force on NATOs and EUs fare eastern borders defending them against any possible threat from Russia for the future!

US. and UK., gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass.. As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , becouse Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !! This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity. Let me explain and give some Content !! According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would: 1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate action to provide assistance Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !! And here we can clearly see what such guarantees with the west is worth, it has been 8 years now since Russia invaded Ukraine in the east of the country and annexed parts of Ukraine in Crimea AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED so now Russia is going all inn and taking everything THE CAN!! That is the result of worthless grantees !! And here's something the WEST is clearly overlooking ; Taiwan , Israel and everyone else is also asking the question; CAN I TRUST THE WEST TO HOLD TO THEIR WORD AND STAND BY THE GUARANTEES THEY GIVE ! and not just Taiwan and Israel, is right now asking themselves those questions, but even small eastern European NATO member states that border Russia, will be asking themselves those questions as well !! IT'S ABOUT TRUST YOU LOSE TRUST YOU LOSE EVERYTHING!! And her is the real kicker ; Also Iran, North Korea and China will be seeing what is going on and soon they will be thinking the west is weak; And the will be thinking and saying things like, just look what the west did when Russia was calling out their bluff about red lines in Ukraine ... The time is now, we have our chance to stick it to them !!!! And then we will see China take Taiwan (so no more silicon-chips for you ) and then we will see Iran take Israel (middle east oil all gone and the middles east up in fire ) And when North Korea goes into South no more south Korea as north will take it over as well !! SO YOUR OPTIONS ARE ,TO TAKE A STAND NOW OR LATER !!
