They attacked them. That is the law of war. Invasions are not “legal” as long as you do not annex territory. And in any case, Kosovo was annexed in the sense that it was wrested away from Serbia. We wrested away a chunk of Syria from Assad and gave it to our favorite separatists.

We have flouted international law since the mid 90s. The Russian operation is legal under UN rules. At least three of ours are not. That’s fine, I don’t like the UN anyway. But please don’t pretend we and our NATO, carefully follows the law and that Russia is some outlaw nation in that regard.

(Pro-tip: The reason DC keeps prattling about the “rules based order” is that they cannot plausibly discuss international law of war as put forth by treaty and the UN treaty... which we are party to.

Just so you know, the person to whom you are posting to is not part of “we” as in US Veterans like we are.

Just another foreign FR poster trying to get the US to be Europe’s bitch.
