    It also means that russia can’t unilaterally claim all of Ukraine, other countries can say no…it works for everyone. Welcome to the multipolar world too, russia.

    And let me repeat: if the only thing other countries can do to stop anyone’s actions is war and countries just ignore borders, then it will be an extremely unstable system, like in the 17th century. Bipolar is more stable, like in the cold war. Unipolar is relatively stable, but there is no accountability, like in a 1-party system.

      do to stop anyone’s actions is war

      thats literally what the us has been doing for a century or more now, plus economic coercion. there was never stability in the first place for anyone but the west.

      It also means that russia can’t unilaterally claim all of Ukraine

      welcome to the multipolar world where russia can say no to western institutions and put up a fight. unlike when the west claimed the middle east. or africa. or latin america.

      Bipolar is more stable, like in the cold war, unipolar is more stable.

      citation needed. you are literally calling the constant threat of nuclear war “stability” lol

      you are calling unbridled imperialism stable, man, wtf.

      stability for whom.
