  • If we consider UN as being the main arbitrator on who gets to launch a war, then to mention a few instances…

    1950: North Korea illegally attacks South Korea.

    1956: Soviet Union illegally invades Hungary.

    1956: Israel / France / UK illegally invade Egypt. All invaders withdraw after UN condemnation and international pressure.

    1964: USA illegally escalates Vietnam War.

    1967: Israel launches the Six-Day War, illegality debated.

    1968: Soviet Union illegally invades Czechoslovakia.

    1973: Egypt and Syria attack Israel.

    1974: Turkey illegally invades Cyprus.

    1978: Vietnam illegally invades Cambodia.

    1979: Soviet Union illegally invades Afghanistan.

    1982: Israel illegally invades Libanon.

    1983: USA illegally invades Grenada.

    1989: USA illegally invades Panama.

    1990: Iraq illegally invades Kuwait. Got their ass kicked by UN-sanctioned forces though so that worked out fine.

    1999: NATO illegally bombs Yugoslavia.

    2003: US and UK illegally invade Iraq.

    2008: Russia illegally invades Georgia.

    2014: Russia illegally invades and annexes Crimea.

    2015: Saudi-Arabia illegally invades Yemen.

    2022: Russia illegally invades Ukraine.

    I probably forgot a few. No ill meaning meant, just missing knowledge.






  • The Bible specifically allows killing as an act of war and considers it different from murder. The protagonists of the book also steal stuff all the time.

    These commandments are for controlling behavior inside a society, not outside of it.

    Trump is a senile and a deeply unserious person. His existence makes me believe that souls might exist because he very much seems like a person without one. He doesn’t think about his actions deeply which is why I believe that if he suddenly turned religious, I don’t think much would change.
