        Other countries. It would only be legal if everyone else considers it legal.

            The United Nations.

            While everyone wants Russia to stop this war, it’s hyperbolic to suggest everyone wants Russia annexed.

              Since at least WWII russia has threatened war with every leader it’s had. It’s only just now being viewed as a terrorist state, but realistically we can trace that mindset back to Stalin. I wouldn’t mind Finland, Japan, Ukraine, maybe a handfull of others carving russia up.
