@bayafrica5909 of course you do. how do you think Germany and Japan did once they had surrendered to their enemies after WW2? Go figure that out.

@joellee6142 Stalin never met with Britain and USA for peace talks, because they were all on the same side, you dope.

@joellee6142 the foe does have to be in the meeting if the topic in hand is achieving "peace". a group of people all on the same side cannot discuss peace, only their hopes for peace. you are clearly not bright.

@bradleyroth9870 yawn, refuse to deal with the message and focus on the messenger.

@ZuzkaK6 you don't agree with Putin coming to the defence of the ethnic Russians in Ukraine? why not? if only Western leaders fought for their citizens and people as Putin does.

@Ea-pb2tu some say genocide is being committed in Gaza, others don't. what does the International Rules based Order, so beloved and oft repeated by the West, say on the genocide happening in Gaza? Yes, a Kosovo style intervention is needed and to be led by NATO, or not?
2
@georgiossgk7384 you are so right. The West only refers to "territorial integrity" when it talks about a territory the West supports. What happened to Syrian "territorial integrity" when US tanks rolled in and are still occupying a big chunk of Syria?
2
@DSan-kl2yc just curious, what did the UN declare on the Catalan separatists? and the Scots separatists? what is the UN position on those separatists?

@bayafrica5909 How many Germans and Japanese today wish their countries had surrendered to the Allies a lot earlier, do you think?

@gosolvideos so true

What should be really concerning for Zelensky and his NATO handlers are that governments representing the vast majority of the planet's population either want Russia to win, or don't care who wins. With BRICS, OPEC and the sanctioned nations all openly backing Russia, looks like the West has become somewhat isolated, not Russia.
1
the International Rules Based Order is quite clear. separatist movements, when they are pro Russian, must be stopped. separatist movements, when they are pro West, must be encouraged. got it?
1
@bradleyroth9870 other way round. Putin intervenes to end conflicts, as in Chechnya, Abkhazia, Transnistria, Syria. The Austrian painter loved to start the conflicts. learn some history, pal.

@bradleyroth9870 I guess George Bush should have grown the square moustache when he invaded Iraq?
1
@Ea-pb2tu ah, I see, so it is true that SOME separatists deserve to be supported, but others don't! It all depends on if genocide is occurring, or not. is THAT the basis of the international rules based order? Then explain, how is genocide defined, and who sits in judgement on if the genocide red line has been crossed?
1
@Julia-Richter except all those kids buried in the Angels Alley and where exactly did all those missiles fired by the Azov Battalion go? Russians in Donbass were attacked mercilessly for 8 years, and THAT is the outrage that Putin has, rightfully, decided to end.
1
@georgiossgk7384 exactly so. the deluded sheep in the West are ignorant of the anti constitutional coup that removed Yanukovich. I know a few Ukrainians, NOT ethnically Russian, that also stood against the russophobia that followed Yanukovich's ousting, but today, of course, they can't speak up.

@DSan-kl2yc So the Slovenians never tried to "make any border"? Nor the Bosnians? Nor the Croatians? Nor the Montenegrins? Nor the Macedonians? None of them tried to "make any border". the borders of the new republics just, well, floated down from nowhere?
1
@DSan-kl2yc There was so much ethnic conflict in Ukraine. it is astounding how you can ignore the years of Azov Battalion shelling Donetsk and the rest of the Donbass mercilessly. If the war was cold, why did so many Ukrainian men fear getting called up to serve on the front lines in 2018? Glad to know there is no rule about what separatism can be supported. Thanks for confirming that Russia, therefore, is not breaking any rules based order by supporting the Donbass separatists to the max.
1
@DSan-kl2yc glad that "genocide can be guessed on based on what's happening". not the clearest or most concrete of definitions for the West's "international rules based order"...kind of explains why Russia is a bit confused over the specificity of the rules, right?
1
@DSan-kl2yc Russia saw that the International Rules based Order of NATO is to support separatists as you wish, in Kosovo, so Russia applied the same rule to Donbass and Crimea.
1
@DSan-kl2yc "the ex president decided to vacate" why? anything to do with death threats, Nationlistic extremists shooting at him? NATO support for a coup against him?
1
@DSan-kl2yc check the Ukrainian constitution. A president can only be removed through the judicial system, not by a Parliament.

@bonnie7898 so tell me, by what right do "international observers" (whoever they are) tell the Catalan people that their referendum is invalid and that they must, no matter what their wishes, remain part of Spain?
1
@bonnie7898 By what right does the UN tell the people of Donbass who should govern them? The UN seeks to resolve disputes by diplomacy and through peaceful means (at least it used to). Since when did the UN become the arbiter of who rules over a given people?
1
@bonnie7898 Allow me to educate you. Legitimacy does NOT depend on any endorsement from the UN. Not EVERY country belongs to the UN. Recognition of breakaway republics usually comes after a war, not during. Kherson, Zaporozhe, Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk are now all part of Russia, so they are fine "operating on the world stage". There is nothing complicated about Gaza at all. It is a hellhole ruined by Hamas. Period. Geopolitics is not hard when you: 1. know the facts 2. see right from wrong 3. stop deluding yourself that the UN has some kind of right to decide the future of any given people. your perceptions are childish.
1
@bonnie7898 Get educated. Not every country belongs to the UN. The UN is not the referee of the world. The UN is an international body established to try and resolve issues through diplomacy and peaceful negotiation. The UN is no judge and jury. If the UN actually enforced any rules based order it would start by ordering the USA out of Syria. you are part of the deluded elite who think the UN embodies all the aspirations of the globe. It doesn't. wake up.
1
@bonnie7898 " no need for a UN ruling" just curious. from where do you get this absurd notion that the UN has any right to rule on anything? is this the kind of nonsense they teach you in the Outback?
