This war illegal. It's illegal to invade another country because it's dictator killing own people. .

First thing they teach you in international politics, "The global political system is governed by anarchy." By that it is meant that there is no enforcement mechanism that can be applied to a sovereign state in the same way the police enforce the will of a sovereign state within its own borders.

Sanctions? International Court of Justice? Sure, if the UN Security agrees with no veto from its permanent members and/or a UN member 'agrees' to be 'bound' by the UN. Most(if not all) nations would rather handle their affairs through bilateral/multilateral arrangements. The war, while it might be illegal, is not going to earn the U.S. any 'punishment'(or criminal/civil sanctions).

P.S., How legal was the Russian 'war' in Chechnya? Close to 100,000 Chechens killed, most in the largest carpet bombing raid since Dresden WWII..... How would you justify that at the ICJ??
