u.n. mandate in libya. well of course it did but i mean let's not kid ourselves that somehow to think that the russian government defers to the united nations or is particularly concerned about. you know imposing its will when it when it when it wishes to but i think that going beyond the mandate was inevitable once nato intervened whether whether the rationale of preventing genocide was genuine or whether it was a pretext and i'm not sure which is true once the us in the us but once nato intervened under those auspices i think it was inevitable that the campaign was going to continue until the removal of khadafi had been achieved and that's basically just about where we are now how then i think as you mentioned russia you mentioned the united states not following by all of you on policy is the u.n. undermined by actually doing that. well i think the u.n. is. a fairly toothless organization i don't know very many people who would argue that the u.n. today lives up to the hopes that people head back in one t
