Peter, why are we in the west putting up with the systematic slow-slaughter of Ukrainians in the first place? What am I saying here? I don't know about you, but I have had it with hearing that a ballistic missile has just crashed into yet another apartment building in Kiev or another Ukrainian city. There are apparently North Korean missiles being used. Why can't we just give President Putin a warning in saying that enough is enough? Professor Kotkin said: "We must remember that under international law that was signed by Moscow, all the treaties say that sovereign countries get to choose what alliances sovereign countries belong to. Treaties like the UN Charter was signed by Russia. The 1975 Helsinki agreement was signed by the Soviet Union. The 1990 Charter of Paris for a new Europe was also signed by the Soviet Union. The 1997 NATO Russia Founding Act was equally signed by the Russian Government. All those documents were signed by either the Soviet Regime or the Russian regime, which is the legally recognized international inheritor i.e., successor of the Soviet State. The fact is those agreements are still in place and they clearly state that sovereign countries can freely choose their foreign policy and what alliances they want to join. For the President of Russia to warn western nations not to help the Ukrainians defend themselves is pure hypocrisy and insulting to the free world writ large."
