"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.+++

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"?

Those weapons are Soviet.

Like the night goggles Russia provided in 2002? Didn't know the Soviet Union was still around, but I agree, Russia is acting quite Soviet these days.

Because of precendent created by US.

No, the precedent was set long before there was a US. In recent years, Russia has been the most fervent violator of UN sanctions. They have no business lying about international law, as there never has been a meaningful international government and to the extent there have been agreements between nations, Russia has been the first to violate them.

But he was ligitimate head of foreign state.

His rule was subject to a surrender agreement which he violated. By all common law views he was in breach of his contract.
