I wonder what constitutes legal aggression?

Also I think we should be slow to criticise Ukrains about mobilisation: they have suffered enormous casualties, so easy to sit on the sidelines and yell.
Their mobilisation woes are quite a lot of their own doing. I can see a lot of military aged males driving expensive cars around the Adriatic. No wonder those with no expensive cars decline to play along.

Do you ally yourself with Democracy or Dictatorship?
Choose wisely.
Idea that democracy is always good and that dictatorship is always wrong is naive at best. If you need an example, take a look at Iraq and consequences change of system brought.
