However, under the very same law the case for Russian intervention in Ukraine has been condemned. To argue against that is clearly a fundamental contradiction (aka hypocrisy)
You conveniently ignore all the contraventions of International Law by the US which, had they not occurred there would have been no need for Russia to become involved in Ukraine the first place. Pity the US didn't keep their nose out of it?
So, that cannot possibly include Crimea (Sevastopol) ........ the Russians were there but with a legal treaty with the ELECTED government. So you must be referring to Donetsk and Luhansk?
Hypocricy?
So it’s OK for the West to militarily support thousands of foreign terrorists in Syria who are intent on regime change, call it a civil war 
and to have ‘US/UK boots-on-the-ground’, which they make little attempt to hide, and also 'wings-in-the-air' ..............but for Russia to support ethnic Russians DEFENDING themselves against an illegal regime (also illegally supported by the US) in Ukraine that have sworn to exterminate them ....... then International Law has to be rigorously enforced because that’s not OK ..... with the US? In both cases it is against International Law but you treat ones contravention of IL differently from the other. Do you really understand what hypocrisy is? It's simple. You cannot credibly continually quote International Law to support one situation whilst claiming that a second pronouncement using the same law, for the same country, is in some way a "Western plot". That's paranoia (Ohh, good grief. Heaven forbid!)
But you can ?
International Law is just that, it should apply to every one! 
Look at Paphitis’ numerous posts declaring that International Law does not apply to the Coalition, they can do just what they want and you sing from the same irrational hymn sheet! ALL actions by the US coalition, in Syria ARE ILLEGAL as Assad recently pointed out in an interview with a Chinese news channel.
I would add that clearly, any post which does not meet with the "official" supportive stance on Russia is to be avoided. When I floated one on what I think was a fairly innocuous stab at " Actually, things in Russia aren't quite as wonderful as posted" it met with pages of personal and racist abuse. Including being called a "CUNT" and a victim of childhood sexual abuse. Almost all of it absolutely nothing to do with the OP. It just adds to the effect of this being an incestuous Forum. Who on Earth would ever want to post a contradictory view on Russia? "Oh - he's a kiddie paedo victim CUNT who's been "shot down".
Then you get an OP by the same person which talks about "abusers" and maintaining the "quality" of the Forum. You really would struggle to make it up.
Stop whinging! If you can’t stand being put in your place by those who are maybe not quite as polite as me, and less willing to engage in an equally pointless argument against your very fixed views ............. then do what I previously suggested! .......
The people voted Tory, why?
