Ukraine’s U.N. Ambassador Sergiy Kyslytsya responded: “None of the countries that provide assistance to Ukraine is under Security Council sanctions.” “Receiving assistance from the fully-sanctioned North Korea is a brazen violation of the U.N. Charter,” he added. “Sending the DPRK troops to support Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine is a flagrant violation of international law.”
Fuckin go for it. Not like anyone is doing much of anything about Russia violating international law up to this point. The survivors will be able to tell their people about US weaponry and how hard it fucks.
International law is an honor system. Who’s gonna enforce it? Blue helmeted troops? How effective is that?
And it’s been greatly eroded recently when the powers that be determined some genocides are ok and others are not. A long-standing pattern of selective rules application, ranging from matters of nuclear disarmament, trade sanctions on places for no reason, land seizure for military bases with no permission and indigenous displacement, land seizure for colonization, indiscriminate civilian murder, detention and torture with no trial or accusation, sex crimes against civilians, application of tactics of terrorism and so on.
On the other side, indiscriminate land grab invasions, war crimes, sexual crimes on civilians including children, concentration camps, destruction of civilian infrastructure, genocide and so on.
It feels nobody really needs to follow any rules anymore. Everybody is violating international laws and the conventions that separate us from the worst of the worst evil and it’s disheartening. It’s whoever is the strongest does whatever they feel like with impunity, mostly, and everyone else just shrugs along. We absolutely suck as an intelligent sapient species at a global level and it’s a shame to be what we have become.
