"Russia’s invocation of sovereignty sits uneasily beside its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, which violated Ukraine’s territorial integrity. The contradiction illustrates Krasner’s broader argument: sovereignty can function simultaneously as a principle, a diplomatic shield, and a selectively applied instrument of power."

Law is meaningless. Enforcement is the only thing that matters.
