And what about innumerable US drone strikes that have so far claimed lives of thousands of innocents in Pakistan and Afghanistan?
Let's not kid ourselves, of all the countries around the globe, if there's anyone who has specialized in hypocrisy, it's the United States. Broaching up Russia's violation of international law, what did the US do to Iraq in 2003? Kofi Annan, the then Secretary-General of the United Nations clearly stated the invasion is not in accordance with the UN charter, and thus, is illegal. You didn't give a shit back then, did you?
Never thought of the collateral damage that your 'war on terrorism' has caused around the globe, it's time you back off. And please, next time you are engaged with Russia in a conflict, do not support terrorist organizations to confront Russia. After the purpose is achieved, you discard the agreement and create one hell of a mess for us.
Here is a list of Saddam Hussein violations of UN Resolutions, to include and start with the big three reasons for the allied invasion of Saddam's Treaty breaking nation, wherein Saddam was in the process of slaughtering the Marsh People in the sout of and inside Iraq and in the North the Kurds inside of and a part of Iraq:

The
United Nations Security Council (
UNSC) is the organ of the
United Nations charged with maintaining
peace and
security among
nations. While other organs of the United Nations only make recommendations to member
governments, the Security Council has the power to make decisions which member governments are obliged to carry out under the
United Nations Charter. The decisions of the Council are known as
United Nations Security Council Resolutions.
There have been three major events in Iraq's history for which the UN has passed numerous resolutions: the

Stop spreading propaganda, Putin did not detain anyone. The fact is that Russia is working on the release of the hostages.
Stop spreading propaganda, Putin did not detain anyone. The fact is that Russia is working on the release of the hostages.
It is not propaganda. Let Mr. Putin individually to and ask the self appointed "Mayor" to release the remaining hostages. One was released earlier today with health issues.
The government never lost legitimacy it was forced to flee by a bunch of anarchists and radicals when they resorted to killings, beatings, kidnappings and storming government buildings. There was never a popular vote by the people, and the impeachment was due to armed gangs storming and intimidating politicians into voting their way. How democratic and fair is that? Groups of armed men with bats, chains, clubs, and guns in parliament bullying politicians, funny how the White House did not have a problem with this yet in eastern Ukraine everything and everyone is scrutinized and termed "tugs".
Just as important Maiden broke an agreement that it signed along with Europe leaders which called for early elections but instead of taking a democratic path Maiden decided it would just continue to use violence, install its own government, force political opponents out of office, propose discriminatory laws, set up a Right Wing paramilitary and call it the "national guard" the same national guard that put up a giant poster of hitler on parliament. It was a coup and a western one, no one even denies it. Western politicians such as John McCain and victoria Nuwland were in Kiev encouraging the violence; furthermore, Nuland was wire tapped talking about which puppets the white house wanted to install, lets not forget that John Carry was also in Ukraine as was Joe Biden and the biggest player in Ukraine was the CIA directer.
NATO has been pushing onto Russian borders at an alarming rate for well over a decade, look at how many countries that are hostile to Russia have joined NATO in the past 15 year.
You completely went off topic and have not answered a single argument of mine.
Again, it is no ones business if i have flags or not. My flags were deleted when the site undergone maintenance and i really could care less about wasting my time to put the flags back up. Again this is no ones business, nor does it have anything to do with the subject.
But it does matter as you are a paid self admitted Russian blindly partisan.
Facts you keep jumping over are that ex-President of Ukrain used his black mask thugs (Spetznatz) shooting from roof tops to kill, as in murder, this Spring over 100 innocent Ukranians.
No one owes you the time of day when you falsely stand up for a murderer who is now President Putin's Assistant for Ukranian affairs.
Meanwhile, Russia raced to meet and promise to back off, peace, etc. with the new Ukranian acting government, the EU, and the US, then Russia did exactly the opposite, grabbed more cities, etc.
If you want to gripe about folks not reading your logic, try you not reading my logic based on current MOSCOW TIMES edidtorals and editorials admitting that no more than 1/3 of Russian speakers want to be back under what was the USSR dictatorship, being undemocratically resurrected step by step by Mr. Putin.
A man, Mr. Putin, is mentally sick in his head to think he needs his old "buffer states" to feel safe. What is wrong with feeling safe by building a larger and better free enterprise economy to increase employment opportunities for more Russians, to include recent Russian university and college graduates?
Right now, refusing to post your Russian flag defines you as either a paid propaganda agent for Russia, or as one who only half believes in what you say, since you are unsure if Putin and the status of Ukraine will last as is for a little time to come.
Your ex-KGB supplied excuse that a nation losing "legitimacy" no longer is a valid, legal nation. Boy, you are full of it!
International law, treaties with today's Russia, and the demand for democracy, not "forced take over rule by the gun" which Russia and Russian Spetznatz are trying to pull off. You can't sell that to anyone who is sane.
I beat the 'H" out of a guy and then tell him "he owe's me and is to do as I command for the rest of his life" is
absolutely medically insane nonsense.
It is YOU who has lost legitimacy.
