I wonder if the UN will punish usa for illegally invading and bombing a Sovereign nation and a member of the UN. Doubt that since UN is on usa payroll.

The same UN that has done nothing about Israel illegally creating new settlements . I guess it's ok to annex land when you're an ally of usa. But Russia is the devil in regards to Crimea lmao

Israel was given a mandate by the UN. The Arabs attacked in 1948 and kept attacking. They attacked 1st. Israel won the land in a wars that they did not start.


Russia, China, Thailand, Vietnam (pre 1900), Burma, India, Persia, Turkey, all the European countries, never gave back land won in war.


Antitroll,

I suggest your read several history books.

These are quick reads. They have one on African history too, but sadly none on East Asia, South Asian, Central Asian or SE Asian lands.
