International law versus "rules-based order"

a reply to: RussianTroll

Plenty of on topic comments for you to respond to?

This is on topic as you refer to Red Alert 2 in your OP but you misrepresent it's premise:

cnc-comm.com...

"With the Soviet Union defeated and Stalin's death the Soviet plan of a Communist Union stretching from the eastern to the western coast of Eurasia ended. With the blessing of the victorious Allies the Soviet Union was to be rebuilt under the rule of a new premier - Alexander Romanov. With his aristocratic past the Allies' thought he would usher in an era of peace and co-operation with the West, despite his membership of the Communist Party.

However ever since the enigmatic "Yuri" rose to become Romanov's cheif advisor this peaceful co-existance may not hold. Relations between East and West has suffered and the Soviet Union has built up militarily and are tightning their grip around their supposed Western "allies". Yet again the world stands at the brink of war. It is up to you Commander, who will be the victor this time?"

And, sound familiar?



"After the humiliating defeat of the last war it would seem that the Soviet Union would never attempt such a bold move again. Yet the Premier, under the advisement of Yuri, has big plans to restore the glory of the Soviet Union and usher in a communist paradise.

The Soviet military relies on wast amounts of poorly trained, but effective conscripts supported by heavily armored tanks and artillery. '

"It is worth noting that only representatives of “civilized” countries from the “blooming garden” speak about “Order based on rules”. In response to all requests from the “grimy” representatives of the “jungle” to provide a list of these rules, they usually remain silent and do not provide anything."

What are you referring to and who might be these "grimy representatives of the jungle" of which you speak?

This is on topic, by the way as it is referring directly to a claim made by you in your OP.

I'm still waiting for the well-known moderator to come and delete all comments that are not related to the topic of the post. Because there are only a few related to the topic. I will look about objectivity.
I think this comment of mine will also be deleted.

You really do behave like a child.
This is the part of your OP:

In general, all international relations are regulated by international law. This is a certain set of rules and laws that everyone must comply with for normal international activities. Well, so that cars can cross borders, goods and services can be provided on the territory of different states, so that you can travel, and so on. These rules have been formed over decades and centuries, starting from ancient times. Well, it is quite logical that international law as a whole is governed by the UN. It is at the UN that this very international law is agreed upon, and there are also mechanisms to resolve emerging disputes between states and companies and individuals. In general, it is a normal, long-established mechanism.

And:

But when the Cold War ended and the countries of the former socialist camp entered the international arena, international law existed for them, and accordingly they are trying to build relations on the norms and rules that were established and agreed upon at the UN. The Western bloc is trying to impose its own laws and rules, which they have formed for themselves within their bloc.

This is an obvious lie. I pointed out to you how Russia violated the international law, including the 1945 UN charter, the very law you claim Russia stands by. There were UN resolutions condemning Russian invasion. The same was done by the Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. Russia violated the international agreements it signed, including even the Helsinki Act signed by Brezhnev.

All the sanctions imposed on Russia are caused by its violation of the international war laws, nothing else. How do you even have a nerve to appeal to the international law considering all the atrocities Russia commits in Ukraine? Are you going to claim that bombing civilians indiscriminately or cutting off prisoners of war's ears are allowed by Geneva convention?

Russia doesn't abide by any law, not even the law of the jungle, because the beasts of the jungle behave better so there's no need to offend them.

You can either discuss your own topic and the counter arguments or run and cry to mama. Stay assured, however, that I won't be waiting till the mythical May whatever with exposing your ludicrous claims.

There are lots of on topic replies to you but you are ignoring them.

"Off topic" does not mean posts that disagree with you or ask questions about claims that you have made.

Just because you don't like a post that does not give you the right to have it removed or censored.

In your OP you made claims about the premise of the computer game Red Alert 2, which I and others have shown to be false.

It seems that you have misrepresented this which, in the absence of any response from you, I can only assume you did that to suit your propaganda.

It would be nice if you were to contribute to your own thread and engage with on topic posters.

Over to you?

a reply to: RussianTroll

While you are waiting perhaps you might reply to the many on topic replies to your thread?

Many of which, including mine, quote your OP directly and refer to claims you made in your OP?

Ie, entirely on topic?

"I never complained about anyone. This is the credo of all true Russians."

Especially your leader. You'd get Gulaged or windowed.

Actually, you do a lot of complaining.

Like you have in your post I am replying to.

So. Lots of on topic posts for you to reply to.

Please do?

This credo of Russians not complaining about anyone, lots of complaining by Putin, here:

"Throughout the war, Russia has repeatedly complained about Western countries arming Ukraine."

So. Lots of complaining.

If you are against this, then say it honestly and openly.

"We proceed from these self-evident truths, that all men are created equal, although some are more equal than others, and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, unless they oppose their Dear Leader or call his "Special Military Operation" a "War" or do anything said Dear Leader gets upset about in which case they will be deprived of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Permanently."

Is that it?
