So, hundreds of millions, perhaps a few billion pawns die, governments collapse, new technofascist governments rise, or...

The global South, Eastern Bloc somehow pulls off saving whatever remains and the board is reset? Is that how this plays out?

These are certainly interesting times. ¡Viva la Revolución!

Russia signed the geneva and genocide convention it is an obligation to act against israel at least economically . As opposed to deal with the nazis in ukraine who did not attack another country

Did they? I thought they didn't? Please refresh my memory with a link?

They decided to live in a country still doing settler colonialism . It is not something to be proud of and shouldn't care about their safety.

I'm not sure they were aware of how badly this would turn out, although I'm not going to dispute this. Russian or Israeli, choose. The Russians in Ukraine weren't given the choice. It was their land.

The mink agreement has no clause saying if Ukraine breach it, Russia has the right to invade. Russia could do economical pressure instead.

Once one party to a contract is in breach, the other party is not legally bound. What good are Russian sanctions when the West simply does what it wants? Including sanction Russia?

These two things may look similar, but they are not the same.
