America has been able to enforce this “rule” by fighting only expeditionary wars since WW2 so yeah I can understand why this kind of misconception has developed. Doesnt make it anymore true tough.
Berlin and Washington have designated Ukraine as the warzone and declared russian missile bases are safespaces. While russia is destroying Ukraine’s vital infrastructure, Scholz and Biden only try to mitigate the disaster, because they wont allow Ukraine to prevent it from happening in the first place. Their cowardice or cynical pragmatism actually gives credence to Putin’s red lines, which Ukraine has already prooven is nothing but posturing. Their hessitation is prolonging the war, a European war that has already lasted ten years, because russian energy deliveries were more important than defending Europe.
After this war there needs to be a disussion about EU’s complicity, negligence and cowardice. Once Ukraine joins EU and NATO, I hope all those countries, who’s warnings were ignored and dismissed will form an alliance to stand up against Best-europe, who claim to be most moral and free, but have shown to be virtual signaling and reluctant to defend those values.
Did not stop usa from bombing Hanoi.
That has happened before, many times in history, invading another country is meant as a last resort push to make the enemy surrender.
I get what he’s saying, let Ukraine strike back, but he is straight up lying by saying that no nation in history has ever fought a war solely on its territory
It’s because that’s how the US has always done it.
