Russians did unspeakable things to the German civilians at the end of WWII, but they got away with it because *they won the fucking war*.
I think that proves his point
I was unaware the Nuremberg trials absolved the Nazis. Here I was thinking it was the other way around. Thanks for clearing that up for us.
It's not my "moral superiority" that drives my statements. I simply made points based upon principle, which you countered with points based upon practice. You certainly are not wrong in the practical context that "might makes right".
The 2A is a matter of principle. It was not put in place by the victors as an excuse to punish the vanquished. It unfortunately hasn't been used to punish anyone ever, and I think that's a significant reason why we are in our current situation. I personally think we need some governors and legislators doing hard prison time for violating it. That might be what it takes for it to be taken seriously.

British Defense Secretary States They Are Putting Military Troops into Ukraine
First the backdrop. Let us not pretend a confluence of events do not all go in one direction.

U.S. troops are conducting military exercises in eastern Moldova {link}. The CIA and State Department are the operational mechanism for all Ukraine military operations, and in total control of the Ukraine government {link}. American contracted mercenary troops operating in Ukraine are being treated at U.S. military hospitals in Germany {link}. U.S. military operations are flying drone missions above Ukraine, and U.S. satellites are coordinating the battlespace. Additionally, the U.S. is sending Abrams tanks, F-16 fighter jets along with support and training teams, and long-range missile launching systems into Ukraine. {link}
For all intents and purposes, the U.S driven NATO military forces are already actively engaged in Ukraine.
Simultaneously, the Dept of Defense {link} and CIA {link} have announced the deployment of advanced artificial intelligence operations for U.S. internet systems. That creation aligns with the Dept of Homeland Security organizing “homeland intelligence experts” {link} to control and monitor public information and shape U.S. public opinion. All of this is happening under the guise of national security. We have the COVID-19 backdrop to identify the public-private partnership approach to controlling information. This same process can easily be deployed to cover Ukraine sensitive content.
There’s your backdrop with citations. Now, given all of that, doesn’t the alignment of the demonstrable datapoints all flow in one unilateral direction?
The British are now saying the quiet part publicly and out loud:
The Telegraph – In an interview with The Telegraph, [Defense Secretary] Grant Shapps said that he had held talks with Army leaders about moving “more training and production” of military equipment into Ukraine. He also called on more British defence firms to set up factories in Ukraine.
Following a trip to Kyiv last week, Mr Shapps also reveals that he has talked to Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, about how Britain’s Navy could play a role in defending commercial vessels from Russian attacks in the Black Sea.
