“Read my post #53 again: I never said the NATO attack on Serbia was under UN authorization. However, the UN Security Council voted NOT to condemn the attack (only Russia, China, and Namibia voted for condemnation).”
So by that standard, LOL, Russia’s attack on Ukraine is authorized by the UN, since the Security Council has never voted to condemn it.

Nonsense. The Security Council DID vote to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and by a wide margin, with eleven “AYE” votes and three abstentions (China, India, and the Arab Emirates) and one “NAY” vote (Russia). So, Russia, by virtue of its position as a permanent member of the Security Council, vetoed it. It’s similar to Congress passing a bill (voting for it) and the president vetoing it; the difference is that in the UNSC any veto tables the matter, whereas in our system of government Congress can override the veto. If the UNSC had our system of checks and balances, the measure would have passed (11 out of 15 is one more than the 2/3 required to override the veto).
