UNC §51 made it one on that day, the preamble of the charter spells out the intent of the UN membership to be morally obliged to support a nation under aggression from another, the fact that the UNSG apparent cal only pass water sitting down and the members of the UNSC need HRT or al least a re-read of §27(3) such would stop the sillyness of Vlad's 3 day SMO kabuki theatre.
Vlad has clarified the point that the Russian bear was not in good shape, their army is the 2nd best in Belgorod, Crimea, Donbas and Donetsk; they have gone from energy exporting to domestic rationing; their economy has gone from vibrant to parlous; demographics which were happy are now an existential threat to their population. All before morning polonium tea time. The bears air defence system makes great targets for Ukraines planners, their AEWC aircraft get shot down, their navy got beaten by an army, didn't need a navy to add artificial reefs to the Black Sea diving sites.
On the plus side, Vlad has helped the meme community substantially, and the sunflowers will bloom better over time.
When Russia finally collapses, it will be as fast as last time, and that appears to be approaching at a pretty good clip. When the banks shut down the exchange is suspended, the population starts to get pretty vocal. Vlad is playing Russian roulette with an auto, but is too preoccupied with his mounting calamities to do more than threaten his own people.
