"When rape is inevitable you might as well enjoy it". -
Bobby Knight
On November 24, 1976, on the 6 p.m. broadcast, Antoine's weather report immediately followed a story about the attempted rape of an eight-year-old girl.[2][11] Antoine thereupon quipped: "With rape so predominant in the news lately, it is well to remember the words of Confucius: 'If rape is inevitable, lie back and enjoy it'." (The same quip would outrage women's groups when recounted by Indiana University coach Bob Knight during an interview with Connie Chung in 1988 and would help derail Texas gubernatorial candidate Clayton Williams' 1990 election bid. Also, Confucius did not really say that quote.)

 
Pro tip for the European Union: probably not the best idea to be signing on new members when you have to barricade the doors and have an armed escort to simply fill out the paperwork.

Pro tip for Ukraine: Don't fucking the EU they're going to rape and pillage what you have left and relegate you to third-class citizens.
Yes, I’m sure literal mongoloid rape beast Russians will do less pillaging than a Western economic union.

No, as stated earlier in the threat, you're not just wrong - you're a hypocrite.
What you and Russia want to do is not do away with international laws, you want to establish your own. And when your regime is old and in danger of collapse, you'll start whimpering about the morality and justice of your system. Where will "might makes right" be then, when your head is in the guillotine? Are you going to stoically say "yes, this is the way it is, I deserve to die and you deserve to rule"? No, you will not, you will beg for your life. Because we do not exist in a state of nature, free of all rules and morality, we live in a fucking civilization where we hold each other to basic standards and expectations. If the group does not like what you are doing, you are shunned. You cannot force people to be your friends, you have to work within the system and appeal to more universal truths than "me have rock, me crush your head with rock if you no give me thing."
I'm not the one saying might makes right, though. You're essentially saying that by saying "yeah Russia and China can put sanctions on the US because nobody else is going to do it, regardless of how morally right or wrong the actions of the US are".

I think sending troops to fight a sovereign nation isn't good for anyone in the long run. I don't support Russia making war with Ukraine. But I'm tired of Americans coming into threads like this with their dumbass fucking exceptionalist mindset of "RUSSIA IS IN THE WRONG AND IT DOESN'T MATTER THAT THE US HAS BEEN DOING THE SAME THING UNOPPOSED FOR THE PAST DECADES BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT!".

we live in a fucking civilization where we hold each other to basic standards and expectations.

Yeah, except as we've just gone over, the US is held to a different standard and expectation. The entire world doesn't sanction the US when they blow the shit out of some backwater shithole's military, kill tens of thousands of civilians to take cities, etc. Those countries have just as much sovereignty as Ukraine does. But Russia is held to a different "basic standard and expectation".

The fact that you can post such dogshit drivel is proof of how brainwashed with American Exceptionalism you are.

Sanctions have nothing to do with might makes right. You're the one claiming that.

On the contrary, nobody is forcing Russia to give gas to Europe or forcing China to make all of the US's stuff. They do that willingly. If Russia doesn't like being sanctioned, or is mad about illegal things the US is doing, they are free to cut off ties however they wish. This is NOT an act of war, this is NOT a use of force; nobody HAS to participate in global trade.

One country having ties and the ability to cause immense economic damage to another via sanctions isn't "might makes right". That country being entirely isolated from the potential economy-fucking effects of the same sanctions, because they know they have a massive bloc of countries that will virtually hum their ballsack regardless of what military action they want to happen, isn't "might makes right" either.

You said "wrong is wrong". But when two countries do the exact same thing, but the consequences are diametrically opposite for the two countries, I would say the argument is pretty strong that "might makes right", because one country has the "might" to be right when they invade another sovereign country, and the other doesn't.
