«how was russia on the bench instead of in front of it?»
They didn't lose a war; if I recall correctly, it wasn't until Stalin died and Khrushchev gave the Secret Speech that we learned of how bad Stalinist abuses were.

- dantheman 15y agoCounts: 1. Participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of a crime against peace 2. Planning, initiating and waging wars of aggression and other crimes against peace Russia & Germany planned to divide Poland; how was Russia's invasion different than the Germans? As to the comment - "They didn't lose the war" is exactly my point, that's not justice.
- yaix 15y agoYour discussion goes into the completely wrong direction. And you are discussion something that happened 60 years ago. Not only the microchip, the international system too, has evolved a lot since then. A lot. >> that's not justice. Nobody ever said it was justice. The UN and the ICJ are only just a first step to finally free the international system from anarchy. Think of it as programming by punching holes in cards. There is still a long way ahead, but it is a good beginning.
