    Countries like Iran, Russia, and China have signed most of these agreements (including the Declaration of Human Rights), but are apparently ignoring them by default.

    United States, Israel and Ukraine also signed them. Lets include all parties in the discussion. Israel, for example, managed to violate ceasefire agreement more than 10,000 times in a year in Lebanon alone and those beacons of democracy and decency couldn’t say a single fucking word about it.

    Iran has now been sending weapons to Russia, supporting its aggression. China has been rightfully named a decisive enabler of Russia in the Ukraine war. Your argument that Ukraine is also supported by the West is dishonest and discredits you, because Ukraine is defending itself. The EU, the US, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Canada, and other democratic states are supporting Ukraine’s defense. Iran and China are supporting Russia’s aggression.

    UN Charter doesn’t block aggressor or defending country from trading with others. If it did, we would be at World War at this point. That’s my argument, not whatever you try to make it.

    Like I said multiple time, I support Ukraine’s fight for their sovereignty, but unlike unprincipled people I in the same way support Iran’s fight for their sovereignty from US and Israel aggression.

    Because the UN Charter and all other agreements are worthless if not enforced, and we are going in the wrong direction if we don’t stop those who breach them.

    Thank you. Can we start with those who commited most breaches then? Like United States who coined the term “double-tap” for their tactic of sending a second Predator drone strike to kill first responders or United Kingdom for their mass rape and war crimes in Iraq or Israel for the biggest war crime of this century where they now openly talk about committing a second genocide this time in Lebanon? Or are we only allow to apply these rules to non-democtratic countries like China, Russia and Iran?

    Autocratic regimes are not only suppressing their own citizens, they are also actively threatening Western-style democracies and the people there. We must oppose them by all means - militarily, politically, and economically.

    So in response we bomb their people there, right? Comic book villain type shit…
