Henry [Morgan] asked. 'I have been reading of Alexander and Xenophon and Caesar in their wars. And the thought is on me that battle and tactics - that is, successful tactics - are nothing more than a glorified trickery. The force is necessary, and the arms, of course; but the war is really won by the man that sits back, like one cheating at cards, and confounds the enemy with his trickery. Have you considered that, sir? Any one who can guess the minds of ordinary generals, as I can guess the minds of the slaves, can win battles. Such a man would shun what was expected of him. Isn't that the secret of tactics, sir?' " - John Steinbeck
Famous American writer who received the 1962 Nobel Prize for literature. This is a quote from his first book, 'Cup of Gold - A Life of Sir Henry Morgan, Buccaneer, with Occasional Reference to History', Chapter 2, IV, page 57.

This outcome is meant to support the interests of the group that delivers the propaganda. Propaganda's intended audiences are wide-reaching throughout society, from civilians of all ages to military personnel, and can be used in a multitude of situations. A winning propaganda campaign will prompt its audience to tangibly act on its agenda in order to fulfill it, not simply verbalize support or agreement." - study.com

US President. Quote from his speech about Ukraine, 26th March, 2022, from the Royal Castle in Warsaw, Poland. [Refer https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/full-transcript-president-bidens-speech-warsaw-russias-invasion/story?id=83690301]

"[Morality and ethics - equal individual freedom from force and fraud for ourselves and others; 'live and let live!' so long as not hurting another's physical person or property nor using force or fraud - will result in great human diversity of thought, behavior and experience, including individual, subjective truth and opinion (but not including objective, absolute, scientific as in universally repeatable and generally agreed truth and facts) therefore:] Variety [so long as it's not hurting another's physical person or property nor using force or fraud] is the very spice of life..." - William Cowper

"[Morality and ethics; empathy:] Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends [and at the very least we are all human and as such desire self-determination, individual freedom and informed choice without force or fraud]." - Maya Angelou
(1928-2014), poet.

"[Morality and ethics - equality before the law; 'The Rule of Law' - i.e. sticking to the agreed social contract, including the constitution, business, civil, individual, military, international laws. No-one is 'above and beyond' the existing, transparent, known, agreed law, regardless of their position, power, wealth, etc. The agreed laws don't change because of who they are and the power they have. The agreed laws are 'blind' to their power.

Donald Trump's National Security Adviser John Bolton erupted in fury, warning in September that: 'The United States will use any means necessary to protect our citizens and those of our allies from unjust prosecution by this illegitimate court,' adding that the UN International Court must not be so bold as to investigate 'Israel or other U.S. allies.' That prompted a senior judge, Christoph Flügge from Germany, to resign in protest... The original inspiration of the Court – to use the Nuremburg laws that were applied against German Nazis to bring similar prosecution against any country or officials found guilty of committing war crimes – had already fallen into disuse with the failure to indict the authors of the Chilean coup, Iran-Contra or the U.S. invasion of Iraq for war crimes.

Together with other responsible members of the international community, we will do everything to support President Maduro’s legitimate government in upholding the Venezuelan constitution and employing methods to resolve the crisis that are within the constitutional framework... We would like to figure out what the international community could do to prevent another blatant violation of international law and violent regime change... This is what I discussed yesterday with the Iranian foreign minister, who - just like us - wants to find an opportunity for external players to prove themselves useful to the Venezuelan people." - Sergey Lavrov

There were also a process that began with the second Bush administration of withdrawing from all of the arms control — almost all of the arms control agreements that we had concluded with the Soviet Union, the very agreements that had brought the first Cold War to an end.... In effect, what the United States did after the end of the Cold War was they reversed the diplomacy that we had used to end the Cold War, and started sort of doing anything, everything the opposite way. We started, in effect, trying to control other countries, to bring them into what we called the 'new world order,' but it was not very orderly. And we also sort of asserted the right to use military whenever we wished. We bombed Serbia in the ’90s without the approval of the U.N. Later, we invaded Iraq, citing false evidence and without any U.N. approval and against the advice not only of Russia but of Germany and France, our allies. So, the United States — I could name a number of others — itself was not careful in abiding by the international laws that we had supported." - Jack F. Matlock Jr.
Ex-U.S. Ambassador to USSR: 'Ukraine Crisis Stems Directly from Post-Cold War Push to Expand NATO', Democracy Now!, February 17, 2022. Russia militarily attacked Ukraine on 24 February 2022, marking a major escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War, which began in 2014.

"[Small, limited-power government, political leaders, politicians and bureaucrats versus large, ever power-hungry and grasping, unlimited-power government, political leaders, politicians and bureaucrats; Morality and ethics - equality before the law; 'The rule of law' - i.e. sticking to the agreed social contract, including the constitution, business, civil, individual, military, international laws. No-one is 'above and beyond' the existing, transparent, known, agreed law, regardless of their position, power, wealth, etc. The agreed laws don't change because of who they are and the power they have. The agreed laws are 'blind' to their power.] Before I begin, I hope you will allow me a personal reference. Throughout all of the painstaking proceedings of this committee, I as the chairman have been guided by a simple principle, the principle that the law must deal fairly with every man. For me, this is the oldest principle of democracy. It is this simple, but great principle which enables man to live justly and in decency in a free society. It is now almost fifteen centuries since the Emperor Justinian, from whose name the word 'justice' is derived, established this principle for the free citizens of Rome. Seven centuries have now passed since the English barons proclaimed the same principle by compelling King John, at the point of the sword, to accept a great doctrine of Magna Carta, the doctrine that the king, like each of his subjects, was under God and the law. Almost two centuries ago the Founding Fathers of the United States reaffirmed and refined this principle so that here all men are under the law, and it is only the people who are sovereign. So speaks our Constitution, and it is under our Constitution, the supreme law of our land, that we proceed through the sole power of impeachment. We have reached the moment when we are ready to debate resolutions whether or not the Committee on the Judiciary should recommend that the House of Representatives adopt articles calling for the impeachment of Richard M. Nixon. Make no mistake about it. This is a turning point, whatever we decide. Our judgment is not concerned with an individual but with a system of constitutional government." - Peter W. Rodino Jr.
as quoted in 'Impeachment of President Richard M. Nixon - 1974'. In 'Landmark debates in Congress: From the declaration of independence to the war in Iraq', S. W. Stathis, (2009), CQ Press, (pp. 415-426).

One would think that Senate Democrats would be appalled at Barr's long-time unyielding conduct and writings asserting that the President can start any wars he wants even if Congress votes against it! An example of this is the constitutionally undeclared criminal invasion of Iraq by George W. Bush. Barr was also George H.W. Bush's Attorney General and has been a long-time defender of executive branch lawlessness.... Expect the further decay of a Department of Injustice, shielding a chronically lawless President and turning the rule of law on its head. [William Barr was confirmed and became the 85th United States attorney general in the administration of President Donald Trump.]" - Ralph Nader

While it might be in vogue for people, organizations, and governments in the West to embrace the knee-jerk conclusion that Russia's military intervention constitutes a wanton violation of the United Nations Charter and, as such, constitutes an illegal war of aggression, the uncomfortable truth is that, of all the claims made regarding the legality of pre-emption under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, Russia's justification for invading Ukraine is on [arguably] solid legal ground." - Scott Ritter
