Daniel Kovalik: Why Russia's intervention in Ukraine is legal under international law

Russia’s incursion in Ukraine is more justified under the “right to protect” than what the West has done in the past

Completely against the grain of the propaganda blitz.

Look, I've said as much from day one, they have every right to act in their self-interests, just as much as we do, and I would caution folks to consider that the fascist democrats, first under Obama/Biden, and now Biden, provoked a coup in Ukraine, resulting in war in the Donbas, and an unfettered superhighway of corruption between the US senate and Ukraine, all at Russia's expense!

There are reasons why low life scum such as the draft dodging Mitt Romney went ballistic over just the mention of biolabs in Ukraine, resulting in Romney accusing an actual war hero former member of congress who had run for president, of being a traitor, he's just as corrupt and invested in Ukraine as was/is the Biden, & Kerry family's! Putin has for two decades, told them, and you can even google up the psychopathic Biden from 1998 affirming this, that Ukraine and Nato was his and Russia's red line!

In the matter of Russia going into Ukraine, its Russia who wears the white hat, not the United States under the control of democratic party fascism!

Might makes right carries with it the understanding that moral justifications are not needed or wanted. Quit trying.

That is nonsense, 95% of you stupid fascist democrats are clamoring for war with Russia, not fucking one of you likely ever has, or ever will serve in the armed forces, you just clamor away from safety of your fucking basements, oblivious to the real world as it spins about the sun! Some of us know what we talk of, not fucking one of you does!

I served in the military long ago when we knew Russia was our enemy. You jerks thinking they are somehow not still a threat to us and the rest of free world is a clear indication of what you fascists think of the free world these days.

Well according to the globalists and neocons, the US and NATO countries are the only ones allowed to give aid to another country.

When we do it, it’s the right and moral thing, and “legal”. When Russia does the exact same thing, it’s a “war crime” and illegal.

As opposed to your propaganda that paints the Ukrainian government as saints. A government created by a violent insurrection and coup in 2014. A government that refuses to let the eastern provinces choose to become independent. But don’t bother acknowledging the recent history of Ukraine, just grab your Ukrainian flag and waive it like a good sheep.

They are not saints but they had been honestly trying to turn to the West and away from the usual puppet oligarchy system favored by Putin. That's why Putin invaded. In his quest to remake the Soviet Union he can't have anyone breaking away. The rest might get the idea that they can be a real country too.

"...as an American, I have had ample occasion to do so given that the US is, as Martin Luther King stated, 'the greatest purveyor of violence in the world.'

"Similarly, Jimmy Carter recently stated that the US is 'the most war-like nation in the history of the world'”

"This is demonstrably true, of course. In my lifetime alone, the US has waged aggressive and unprovoked wars against countries such as Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, the former Yugoslavia, Iraq (twice), Afghanistan, Libya, and Somalia. And this doesn’t even count the numerous proxy wars the US has fought via surrogates (e.g., through the Contras in Nicaragua, various jihadist groups in Syria, and through Saudi Arabia and the UAE in the ongoing war against Yemen)."

In addition to demonizing one side of a conflict, it is also required to deify the other:

"One less traitor": Zelensky oversees campaign of assassination, kidnapping and torture of political opposition - The Grayzone

"While claiming to defend democracy, Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky has outlawed his opposition, ordered his rivals’ arrest, and presided over the disappearance and assassination of dissidents across the country."​

He is heard and summarily dismissed for saying dumb shit.

It is clearly not 'legal' under international law as though that really matters. It is a war of territorial expansion, period. That is rather obvious and it is a damn bloody one at that.

So many shills for Russia here.

 

[there4eyeM]

Sure, legal; it comes under the "might makes right" codicil.

At least Putin doesn't limit his assassination of dissidents to his home country, eh?

No, you were just ignorant.
Countries like China, Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, etc., were not our enemies, but we still paid dictators like Shen Kai Shek, Syngman Rhee, Diem, Batista, to murder and enslave, until Russia helped liberate those people.
Russia did good without intent of profit.
The US bad under the intent of profit.

The US is the most fascist country in the entire world.
Fascism is a coalition of the corrupt wealthy elite.

Wrong.
Zelensky committed half a dozen acts of war, any one of which makes this war legal.
Zelensky stole billions in oil from Russian pipelines, violated treaties, murdered 14k ethnic Russians, tried to put NATO nukes on Russia's border, cut negotiations, etc.
The invasion not only was legal, but absolutely necessary and moral.
