“Under what pretext was Yugoslavia bombed? Was there a UN Security Council sanction, or what? They just decided and destroyed the country. What was the pretext for invading Iraq? Alleged weapons of mass destruction? They went in, ruined the country, created a hotbed of international terrorism, and then said: Our intelligence failed us, there were no WMDs. Just… wow. How did they get into Syria? Did the Security Council authorize it? They do whatever they want.”
That was Vladimir Putin, several years ago. And yet, nothing has changed.
They still do whatever they want. No UN Security Council. No global consensus. No accountability.
Just the logic of power: you’re either the strong one, or you’re the defeated one.
It was true then. It’s true now.
