Yeah, like lawyers thinking the sun and the moon revolves around them.
And ideologues who think happy self serving ideology changes how the fundamental laws governing chemistry, physics and biology works.

No, it isn't ...
But blathering that prior acts of Western imperialism somehow make Russian acts of Imperialism justified is a sign of a mind with no weight at all

Lol because Russia launching an unjustified invasion of another country is just like gravity

Yes because Putin invading country is like gravity

Just as reality will never care that russia has been reduced to a gas station with nukes that world powers will run roughshod over however they see fit in the moral sewer. The us now or china tomorrow, doesn't matter.
Invading Ukraine wont, and can't, solve that problem...and more to the point, will only accelerate further decline.

Reality's inability to care about me being right doesn't change the fact I'm right. Nor will it make you any less wrong

Uhem, The nukes together with invading Ukraine actually keeps them from being run over roughshod. It’s a package.
We, not Russia, made it a package.

Doesn't look like it keeps Ukraine from running roughshod over them, even.

Yea, some Ukrainians apparently walked over the tracks left by the treads of Russian tanks when the Russians were not looking.

Although the actual numbers vary according to who is doing the estimating (which is to be expected), they all agree that Russia is sustaining surprising losses in personnel and armaments. If we discount the Russian disinformation and Ukrainian morale-boosting propaganda and average out estimates from Western Europe, the UN, and US intelligence, it looks like Russia is losing men and materiel at about twice the rate Ukraine is.
So, I think they’re probably doing more than just walking over tank tracks.
