So what rules has Putin broken with respect to the Arctic Council?  You say Putin "defies all international conventions" please tell us which ones you are referring to.  I'll leave aside the weird accusation that I've rewritten history in Putin's favour.

Also - so sorry you can't see the significance of what the former PM of Canada did and said while Canada held the chair of the Arctic Council.  Let alone distinguish written from unwritten rules.

Isn't that just like an "agendamonger" like me - wanting to discuss facts, issues, precedent, linking to real agendas of the actual members of the Arctic Council.

So much easier for y'all to bring up WWII and the wars in which you never have and never will fight.  Carry on searching and one day you will find your Canadian Trump to assuage your fears.
