Regarde Aduck posted:it's true and the take away should be you can do whatever the gently caress you like in war and the west should stop pretending it has the moral highground and talking about 'war crimes'. It doesn't really care. The logic that got the west to using cluster munitions can be used to justify anything, including biological, chemical and nuclear weapons. yeah the consensus around humanitarian disarmament in my country has been one of the sad casualties of this war

sleep with the vicious posted:Life hack: dont sign international treaties and you can do whatever the gently caress you want, also do whatever you want anyway. Material reality doesnt exist This is literally how the US operates. Never sign treaties but keep pointing to the treaties you didnt sign as the sacred rules based international order (for everyone else)

In contrast CNN has headlines like "Assurances that Ukraine’s future is in NATO and new security guarantees calm worries at final day of summit". No, its not the reality that ukraine cant ever meet the conditions to join nato, and they sure as hell not calmed down zelenskies worries of being cut loose. And no mentiones of the US and UK telling their dog that he should pipe down

Oh you signed the agreement that says you wouldn't use these sort of weapons? Thats fine, as long as your weapons are sourced by other countries that havent signed the agreement you are golden! Imagine if a country from the global south was held to that standard using russian cluster munitions

Yes, Zelensky is toast without them but don’t put him in a position where he needs to lash out not to get popped by his own people.

i'm placing my bets here: finnish military doctrine will quickly harmonise to the NATO standard and become much leaner and more "smart weapon"-based and thus unable to engage in anything like a peer war

So to the goons who are chatting about Putin's initial gently caress up. Has anyone considered the possibility that Putin launched his under cooked and under planned SMO because he had an secret handshake with some pro peace fractions inside Ukrainian leadership? Like somebody from Ukraine probably promise Putin he just need to bring his tanks to Kyiv and they will sign a bigger Minst 3 treaty. Like bringing the force to the capital is just to convince the anti-Russian Azov people in the leadership? What if that person is Zelensky himself? He was trying to talk down the Azov people previously. And then what happened is like a heist movie, some people get shot and some double crossed, triple crossed happened and Zelensky decided to go full Team US. And we will never know the exact detail of what happened. About Boris Johnson's visit. He was just a messenger. He was just going to show Ukraine that US meant business. US could have sent Blinken but US was trying to tie Europe completely on its war platform, so Boris was a better envoy.

They were kicked out for buying Russian S-400s and never got their money back. This caused the price of the F-35 to rise because Turkey was also supposed to manufacture many components of the engine. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/erdogan-says-turkey-will-recoup-money-paid-us-f-35-jets-2021-10-21/
