If one country does not abide by international law and the countries that do abide by the law disagree then what?
Isolating that one country and cutting it off from outside resources may work to convince it to respect the law of the many yet this has not worked very well in practice.
And that policy trends to create great suffering on the people of the one country not so much the leaders.
Human nature is flawed and power corrupts. Will we ever give peace a chance?
As long as Russia can lob missles in Ukraine from great distances without suffering retribution it seems resolution is also far away
If one country, like Russia, rejects international law and the prohibition of the use of force, other countries can come to the assistance of the invaded country to help repel the attack, in accordance with the inherent right of collective self-defense recognized by international law and Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.
Countries acting in collective self-defense would be acting within and upholding international law.
As Biden overcomes his fear of provoking Putin, I think we should allow Ukraine to use the weapons we provide them in accordance with international law and the U.N. Charter.
In this way, the Ukrainians could start to defend themselves against missile attacks launched from Russian territory.
