"Unauthorized war" is the way the majority of wars (i.e. Chechnya) have been waged throughout all of human history. Besides, even in the brief period that the USA aided Saddam, Russia was coddling Iraq far more than we were. Virtually all of their arms, obviously, are Russian.

The UN, thank God, never reached the authority of an "international government" as Russia and others have never followed it as an authority. Rather, when convenient, Russians engage in the fantasy that there is an international government that only the US has to obey.

Those weapons are Soviet. Russian weaponry much more mordern and sophisticated.
I brought that issue of UN Chapters violation just because you keep telling that Russia violated UN sactions.
You still have to prove that but US violation doesn't need proves.
Okey lets just say we all violators.

I don't miss Saddam. But he was ligitimate head of foreign state.
Attack on him brings up some different situation.
Like now everyone can war everyone. Because of precendent created by US.
If you disagree then tell me how you will condemn someone aggression if they say "US did same"?
