the fact this has to be explained shows that there is a worldwide educational gap in understanding the basics of international law

Defense is not escalation. Putin does not own Ukraine. Ukraine is a sovereign nation, sacrificing all to defend Europe and the rest of the free world. Help them win. My op-ed: nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-ope

i have seen so many bad takes, i had to question myself — why don’t some people know what ‘sovereignty’ is? it’s not that difficult to understand. although i am a law student, i was taught about it in the ninth grade during the ‘Introduction to Law’ course.

yeah, i guess no one takes 12 subjects in american high schools as we did, so agreed there is a knowledge gap that now has a consequence on ways western media representatives come up with all these sorts of stuff

i had a very decent US History Honors Class during my exchange year. I mean explaining the IL basics shouldn’t take that much time + it’s quite simple and could be easily integrated in other subjects. My Ukrainian school wasn’t any good yet it wasn’t that difficult to learn
