Ukraine-Russia Megathread 9

She continues: "It goes against everything that we stand for. There are terms that we use, we say 'We respect the sovereignty, the territorial integrity, of countries. They're independent.' Russia has gone into Ukraine militarily. Unprovoked. With no justification other than to exercise its power to take over another country. So that's basically what's at stake. And we, as America, are saying 'That's wrong.' We will stand with Ukraine in saying that is wrong. That's essentially where we are. That's essentially the issue. And when it comes to what we know to be principles of fairness, we know that what Russia is doing is wrong. When it comes to what happens then, well, there needs to be severe consequence and accountability and that's why you'll hear on the news that we talk about sanctions, which is basically having Russia pay a financial cost to the point where we can have a real impact, put a real hurt on their economy. As a consequence for their bad behaviour, which is resulting in the loss of innocent lives. And that's where we are. That's what the issue is, essentially."

I cannot make this shit up. I'm sure the million dead Iraqis are really feeling their sovereignty and territorial integrity being respected right now. I'm sure that Libyan slaves being traded openly are really aware of your principles of fairness. You absolute fucking scumbags. Oh my fucking god.

Explaining geopolitics like everyone is 5 years old.

Reminds me of how everyone thought JFK's quote "We choose to go to the moon and do the other things, not because it is easy, but because it is hard" was some epic line. Like cmon "do the other things"??? You can come up with better lines than that
