The UN's ability to stop a war is possible but not guaranteed, as its power is limited by the national interests of member states and the political divisions within its primary decision-making body, the Security Council. The UN's effectiveness depends heavily on having a broad consensus to act and the political will of powerful nations to contribute resources and military force.
Russia is a member of the Security Council.
So if the invasion of Ukraine is illegal....why wasn't it stopped in 2014 by the UN? Or why wasn't it stopped in February of 2022? The reason is that such is merely a misnomer.
OMOLIVES, I agree there are many stupid people about, just don't understand why you seem so keen on joining the group.
Related: OMOLIVES, I see you no more that saying you are ok with Russia being rewarded for an illegal invasion. Illegal because it was in violation of international law. And i know how the Baltic states would react to your position that Ukraine is better off... https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=176844523
"So if the invasion of Ukraine is illegal....why wasn't it stopped in 2014 by the UN? Or why wasn't it stopped in February of 2022? The reason is that such is merely a misnomer. P - Which is apparently how many lawmakers and fools think regarding our illegal immigrant situation. So again I ask...do you really think such is illegal given the nonsense spewed here and abroad? Do you understand why I am poking you with this now? :) P - It seems that misnomers are staus quo in this Nation and globally...eh?"
You would know many reason why so many illegal acts are not stopped. blackhawks gave you a couple for the particular illegal act of Russia we are talking about. Your reply
was thought provoking, though not exactly satisfying.
Also, surelyyou understand millions of illegal acts go on every day which are not stopped, and the fact they were not stopped does not say they were not illegal.
Don't know what the nonsense is you refer to, can only think you label it nonsense because it isn't in accord with what you think. And no, i don't understand fully why you are doing what you are doing.
No, i don't agree in this case we are dealing with any misnomer either.
