The 'rules-based order' and international law are not the same thing.
Who went to jail for non existent WMD's and killing Journalists?
- I'll tell you who, Julian Assange.
Certainly no-one in the US government.

"I don't think he understands nor could understand that solely criticising one side is tantamount to supporting the other."
- I'm not sure that you understand that it's not.
Just because Paul critices the West, doesn't mean he doesn't also criticise China for the Ugyhurs.

I often criticise democracy, but that doesn't mean I want communism.

I support Russia and China because I believe the world would be a better place multi-polar, if countries stayed out of other countries internal affairs, respected their security concerns,
- I don't support sanctions or overthrows.

Pauliar,

Once again you lie through your teeth.

Apparently, Pauliar is against letting people protest against the crappy decisions of their government and for the shooting of peaceful protesters.

That Yanukovych was highly corrupt is not in dispute, in fact, he was impeached by the Ukraine government 328-0 for just that. The violent revolt against Yanukovych started only after he got snipers to shoot and kill up to 50 protesters.

Once again Pauliar is a shill for a dictator.

None of this was orchestrated by the US.

SM and AC

Are you not pleased that our "dear friend" President Xiey Poo, he is our dear friend cause he buys sh!t loads of dirt from use, which keeps us in the lifestyle we are accustomed to, is with our not so "dear friend" President Vladdy Poo talking "peace". I'm not sure which "piece" of Ukraine Xiey Poo wants to give to Vladdy Poo, but I think the problem could be solved if Vladdy Poo was to also buy sh!t loads of dirt from us as well, then he would once more be our "dear friend".

BTW, important question; Have you noticed all the beautiful furniture President Vladdy Poo has in his house. I don't think he got it from 'Ikea', do you think he shops on 'Gumtree' and 'Marketplace'?

p/s Have you noticed our other bestest newest "dear friend" President Volly Poo from Ukraine is always dressed in the same outfit, me thinks the poor sod is spending all the countries dosh on guns, and is forced to shop at 'Vinnies', me thinks we should send him a few tanks, and some new clobber, so he can look formal when he's begging and crying for more weapons from us. What do you think?

AC writes:- You want me to believe the soviets funded democratic movements and student protest groups?
- That's a big stretch, I'd have to see the evidence to believe that."

Paul,

I see you have been smoking fat ones again.
