I'm not saying they had to wait for U.N. approval, but at least pay lip service to the concept instead of openly mocking it. Hell, Obama at least made a speech to the U.N. before conducting the American strikes. The optics of it on our end are pretty bad and completely undermines the legal criticisms of what Putin is doing in the Ukraine.
