It's not an international law driven by unflinching rules. It's a democratic choice, or a series of them.
- EGreg 5y agoI think people are viscerally responding to the invasion and bombings, less so the political status of a region. Annexation isn't the distinctive feature here. Lots of people protested the Iraq war, around the world, and it didn't have anything to do with annexation. Civilian lives is what matters.
