ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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

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