There were never UN Charter to protect oppressed people. UN position toward anything is neutral, if there are ever such charter, that mean UN is taking side.

You are thinking UNHCR, which is to grant them asylum as in "offer" protection to oppressed people, not start a war outside your legal boundary.

So according to this US&Allies are violating UN charter by supporting Ukraine?

So according to this US&Allies are violating UN charter by supporting Ukraine?

There was never a charter to call for a protection of oppression by force, so no, since there was no charter, they can't violate anything.

On the other hand, Ukraine is a sovereignty Nation, whatever Russia do in Ukraine in itself is illegal, the only thing for Russia to legally do is to offer ethnic Russian UKRAINIAN, I repeat, Ukrainian that was ethnically Russian an asylum shall they want to move because of this oppression. The moment Russia invades a country for whatever reason is violating international law to begin with. Ukraine, with the inherit right for self-defence, which really was in UN Charter, have the right to fight off a Russian invasion, and thus asking another country to help is completely legal.

Let me put this in a more specifics to clarify.

US invasion in Iraq can at best be debatable, because of wording uses in UNSC of Resolution 1441. You can argue both way because 1441 does not include specific wording on how or what to do if Iraq violate 1441.

Russia invasion of Ukraine is completely unjustifiable in any international law, Russia had neither put the issue in UNSC nor any UN government agency before their invasion, lacking of a UNSC mandate, Russia does not have a casus belli for war. Strange as it may sound, but Ukrainian firing artillery shell toward ethnic Russian WITHIN UKRAINE is not the same as, they fire them mortar and artillery to Russian in Russia. That is not a legitimate reason to invade. I mean, if that is legitimate to go to war, that literally could extend to Russia can legally go to war anytime any Russian being incarcerated in any country, in fact, they don't really need to be Russian, as long as they have some sort of root back in Russia and Russia can then claim this is an "Oppression" on ethnic Russian. I can't even begin to tell you how many international norm you would have broken.

That’s nice. Probably the newest version? Leopards 2 A8
The German army is getting new battalions. I hope Germany will have the same amount of tanks as during the Cold War confrontation: 4,000 tanks.

Ah looks who is in Kiew?

My guess is existing versions of Leopard 2 stored somewhere ready for some updates. Considering previous production time, and the general increase in defence spending, it would be impossible to donate 14 new Leopard 2 in 8 months.

But what is the size of these economies and trade flows?

Yuan market share is nothing in comparison to USD market share.

Euro has second largest market share.

People getting over-excited over mundane shifts.

I think you're missing the concern that was raised by the American Secretary of State Janet Yellen. Her concern was not about the size of the trade carried out on the US Dollar versus the Yuan today; to the contrary, the concern was about the challenge made to the tools that the US and the West in general used to have to sanction and cripple the economies and trade of other countries. These financial tools used to bring countries to their knees. They also used to cause the deaths of millions of men, women, and children as we've witnessed what they did to Iraq in 1990s and other countries as well.

"In an interview to CNN, the US Treasury Secretary said: 'There is a risk when we use financial sanctions that are linked to the role of the dollar that over time it could undermine the hegemony of the dollar.'"

Today, if a country is sanctioned unilaterally by the US and its allies - and not through the UNSC, that country can bypass those sanctions by having their central banks engaging in other financial transfer system such as the CIPS and SPFS financial systems. This trade is carried out on currencies in which the US Dollar is not part of. In other words, countries are using their own currencies when it comes to settling their trade.

"De-dollarization

It appears that King dollar is on verge of losing the crown. The Indian government, last month, said that as many as 18 countries – including Russia, Sri Lanka, UK – have expressed interest in settling overseas trade with India in Indian rupee or INR."

The move from Iran and Saudi Arabia is also very significant. The dominance of the USD as a reserve currency was based on the oil and gas trade carried out on the US dollar. That trade will also be carried out in other currencies such as the Yuan.

"Iran has completely abandoned dollar trade with China and Russia. Saudi Arabia, a key OPEC member, said it will completely give up PetroDollar and will start accepting PetroYuan."

So what can we conclude from all of this? If anything can be learned from the aftermath of the wars and economic sanctions waged on Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Russia, DPRK, and other countries, the effects of these wars have backfired on the hegemonic West, US in particular. Of course, we, unfortunately, lost millions of people in the countries invaded, especially Muslim nations where my country is one of them; but a sweet justice is coming back to elites who engineered this fraudulent and cruel SWIFT system that was used to suffocate countries and the wars launched on its behalf. It is a gradual process. No one is hurrying. The US Dollar is still being used, but it is not the only one in the world which trade is base on.

Have you noticed the countless travel that Blinken was making to Africa? They were all designed to inform them not to trade with China, Russia, Iran, and other countries based on any currencies outside of the US Dollar. They're panicking but it seems grip is gradually loosening.

And to The Chosenites, these folks thought they could easily have everything between the Euphrates and the Nile using SWIFT, NATO, World Bank, IMF, Veto power in the UNSC, etc. Alhamdulillaah, their grip is loosening, and their Freemasonry backers are going to be bankrupted gradually. The cries of our mothers and brethren in Al-Quddus and in other towns in the Holy Land will insha'Allah at some point come to an end. I am hoping and praying it will be soon.

The hadith of everything going back to the silver and gold will be fulfilled.

Mista put it well. There is no viable alternative to the dollar. 90% of daily transactions on the forex market are in dollars. The dollar will be dominant for a long time to come.

Well, you gotta take that Janet Yellen. She is the one who is worried.

 

[Iñigo]

It should be noted that maybe we have only just seen the beginning.

The point is that the terrible Ukrainian Gambit (2008-, 2014-, 2021- Sacrificing Ukrainian pawns out of hatred for Russia) marks the probable beginning of a possible weakening of the Dollar within a 30-60 year horizon.

And when the Dollar weakens the imperial power will dissolve like sugar in water and Washington will become the capital of a very important Ibero-American country like Brazil.

I'm on this forum since 2013 and hearing every months how the dollar will collapse, how the yuan will take over and all kind of BS, still waiting for that to happen, you should change the disk maybe.

By early 2024 Ukraine would have lost just about all of its existing Leopard 2. 14 Leopard 2 would not change the balance. By then Russia has more than 200 T-90M.
