International Law is bullshit just like the ICC.
Well since we beginning with that premise, I guess there's really nothing to discuss. In parting I'll just leave you with a couple pointers:
"Where was International Law and the UN when the US invaded Grenada and Panama or when China invaded the sovereign nation of Tibet or when the Italians invaded Ethiopia . At least Russia is saying that she is coming to the aid of ethnic Russians in the Crimea. Flimsy just like all the other invaders."1. GrenadaThis is probably the best parallel, but even so the circumstances are drastically different. The violence on the ground in Grenada far out-stripped that which was seen recently in the Ukraine. Let's not forget that after deposing Bishop, Coardner et al ruled Grenada with an iron fist, implementing a shoot-to-kill curfew on locals. Maybe you was too young to remember. So unpopular was Coardner that the people revolted against his regime and freed Bishop... only for the troops loyal to Coardner to open fire on the crowd killing dozens... before executing Bishop and his closest comrades. Grenada was close to being a lawless state prior to the US invasion. Reagan definitely went about it the wrong way, and was universally condemned for it, but in the end it is imminently more justifiable than what Putin has done in the Ukraine.
2. PanamaArticle 4 of the Panama Canal Treaty:
2. For the duration of this Treaty, the United States of America shall have primary responsibility to protect and defend the Canal.
The rights of the United States of America to station, train, and move military forces within the Republic of Panama are described in
the Agreement in Implementation of this Article, signed this date.
This and the fact that the Noreaga regime was considered a rogue regime for its role in faciliating the movement of drugs into the US implicating Article 51 of the UN Charter; and Article 21 of the OAS Charter, governing self-defense.
3. Tibet
The sovereignty of Tibet was never established and China had asserted control of the nation for thousands of years. Tibet asserted its independence in the earlier part of the 20th century prior to the Chinese seizing control in 1950, but there was very little recognition of it as an independent state. It's like Quebec arguing that it's independent of the rest of Canada.
4. Ethiopia
The UN didn't exist back then... surprising that you don't acknowledge this. Without the UN "international law" has very little hope for enforcement. The precursor the the UN, the League of Nations was too weak to do anything (prevent Nazi incursions in Europe, for instance). Even so, Mussolini's actions were roundly condemned and Ethiopia received military support from the Allied forces, helping it free itself from Italian occupation.
But as yuh say, International Law is bullshit... so I'm sure you'll continue to remain unmoved by any of this.
