War with Russia

[Rusty Nails]

Crikey. (1) Since when has your "international law" (whatever way you might choose to define it) not been a joke? How many countries have US invaded without UN approval and how many have died as a result? What has Israel been doing in the Palestine for 75+ years and which countries provided them with arms and $s? Where is your "international law" and why is it not already a wildly hilarious joke given US and indeed UK are aiding and abetting the Genocide of Palestinians right now? Is your "international law" only applicable to Putin (and China, Iran, N Korea I suspect) but nobody else?
(2) Please think carefully before you answer.

1. Sadly you are right. Might takes preference over right.

2. So one rule for you and a different one for others.

Perhaps not. Despite China being the greatest world power for millennia before c1800, they have no equivalent history of colonisation, crusades or mass enslavement of other races. It would appear they figured out trade is preferable to war, and harmony is better than conflict. Modern China appears to be investing 95% of efforts in self-improvement despite achieving world #1 GDP in PPP terms since 2014, contrast "we" in the West still think how others run their countries is our business, AND if Japan pre Plaza Accord and now China are doing too well, hell then they must be 'contained'. I hope future Chinese leaders remain forgiving, if not forgetful.

So apart from an irrelevant preamble all you've done is assert my post.

Do you mean exactly this or are you talking about growth in GDP PPP?

Get in there. Just like the old days.

Time for a misleading graph.
