it is being enforced in Ukraine; this war will prove to be a precedence of its enforcement.
He is correct. There is no such thing as international law.

International laws are subjective rules dictated by the dominant force that even they themselves can bypass or adjust to suit their politics and even weaponize it against others who do not yield before them.

Oh yeah? Last I checked the current borders have been by far the most stable in human history. We can thank international law for that, established after WW2.

Lol someone compared a video of a woman soldier from the US and a propaganda training video from Russia with what seemed to be boot camp drills by a bunch of dudes who were jacked. The point was that Russian army was hard and the US is soft but the fact is that the chick could probably just fly a drone and delete those Russian guys from a different continent.

Ukrainian forces have broken through Russian lines on two fronts during audacious counteroffensives in territories Vladimir Putin recently declared to be part of Russia, Axios World editor Dave Lawler writes.

  • Putin tacitly acknowledged the recent setbacks yesterday but said: "We are working on the assumption that the situation in the new territories will stabilize."
What's happening:

  1. Ukraine recaptured at least 10 villages in the Kherson region between Sunday and Tuesday, per Foreign Policy. Kherson is the only regional capital to fall since the invasion began. Recapturing it is a top Ukrainian objective.
  2. In the northeast, the key logistics hub of Lyman in the northern Donetsk region fell to Ukraine on Friday. While the Kherson offensive had been telegraphed for months, the northeastern push seems to have caught the Russians by surprise. Ukrainian forces have captured an estimated 2,000 sq. miles there in less than a month.
Ukrainian government social media accounts have been sharing videos of captured towns, soldiers and tanks — all underscoring the recent successes.

  • There have been no similar successes on the Russian side for several weeks. But analysts believe Ukraine's casualties in the Kherson offensive have been significant.
Reality check: Ukraine may have a narrowing window to gain ground before winter weather makes offensive operations difficult, and before Russia is able to flood in newly drafted soldiers to reinforce their lines.

Borders were not established after WWII save for dirty, dumb Israel, and Germany, for the most part. The Middle East is England's fault after WW 1 when they arbitrarily drew borders still causing issues today, and most of the Soviet Satellite nations weren't drawn or voted on until after 1991. The pink satellite countries split a little later (Yugoslavia).
