So let’s see. The ONLY world body that can change borders legally is the UN Security Council. Funny, I cannot find the approved resolution calling for Serbia to be severed, can you? Didn’t think so. So no different in Ukraine - Russia is severing Ukraine illegally, just as the Neocons PREVIOUSLY severed Serbia.

So, we’re good, as TWO can play at that game, as the Neocons are learning, THE HARD WAY.

BobL: "So let’s see."

No, the only thing you can see is Russian propaganda.

BobL: "The ONLY world body that can change borders legally is the UN Security Council."

Only in your own fantasy universe, not in the real world.

BobL: "Funny, I cannot find the approved resolution calling for Serbia to be severed, can you?"

Nor was that done in any of those other cases.

BobL: "So no different in Ukraine - Russia is severing Ukraine illegally, just as the Neocons PREVIOUSLY severed Serbia."

But, in reality, there was nothing illegal in the actions of Kosovars, and nothing legal in those of Vlad the Invader in Ukraine, or elsewhere, except in the minds of devoted Russian propagandists.

BobL: "So, we’re good, as TWO can play at that game, as the Neocons are learning, THE HARD WAY."

One difference, among many, is that, objectively, while Kosovars acted in service of good against pure evil Serbian genocide (which killed and raped tens of thousands in Kosovo) Vlad the Invader has acted in service of pure evil genocide (killing hundreds of thousands) against Ukrainians and many others.

That can only work as a "moral equivalent" inside the brains of devoted Russian propagandists.
