Sad. I am with Chile's president on this. His words:

In this place, the situation in Ukraine has been under discussion. I think it is important that those of us from Latin America say clearly: what is happening in Ukraine is an unacceptable war of imperial aggression where international law is being violated… I understand that the joint declaration is blocked today because some do not want to say that the war is against Ukraine. Dear colleagues, today it is Ukraine, but tomorrow it could be any of us.

Also, I found the article took a very deliberate stand against the "Collective West". People at Naked Capitalism might not like the collective west (whatever it means) but this doesn't change the fact that the only countries not condemning Russia for its war of aggression are China, various dictatorships scattered here and there and South America, for selfish geopolitical reasons.

And also, let's stop gaslighting readers about NATO and its expansion to justify Russia's invasion. Countries have all the rights to prepare to defend themselves, and this does not justify their neighbors to attack them on their soil.
