@rickmartin9420 Lol. It's quite the opposite. USA "manufacters consent" as you said, in other words, lying about their intentions to get "permission" to invade. Thus, they're "legally" invading.
(Side note: but who tf cares whether it's legal or illegal. Wars are always bad, unless they're in self defence.)
Russia, on the other hand, says exactly why and how they're gonna do it. Ukraine is the only war where they have been slightly less truthful, as the 1/2 of the "reason" provided on the day of the invasion was supposed to be nazism.
Which is a wise move, both for gaining support within Russia, and if he ever were put on trial, he could put forth arguments that this was an act of self-defence. Also, Ukraine has a problem with nationalism - greater than in the part of Europe we usually classify as "The West".
Besides that, the Putin regime has been super upfront about why they're invading Ukraine, both months ahead of it and after. The only thing they haven't mentioned is resources - how the invasion affects Russia's export of oil and wheat positively, and how they're blocking Ukraine's ability to extract their enormous oil resources. But hey.. No one has ever admitted that their main reason to invade someone is mainly for economical reasons.
And this honesty is afaik a trademark of Russian Federation and Soviet Union wars. No bs. And this is obviously preferrable to the coy "exporting peace and freedom"-bs that other shithole countries does instead.
