    The Russians didn't invade Ukraine. And the deal was made with a different government.

    And the Germans didn't invade the Sudentenland or Austria. Riiiight...

    As for your second point--which was even dumber than your first--current governments are beholden to the agreements of previous governments, particularly when they are elected under the same system.

    It looked like a coup to me. The new government isn't legitimate, and Putin is right about that.

    The Russians aren't the 1930s era germans. Talk about bogus equivalents.

    Oh come on! Who is Putin to decide what the legitimate government is in Ukraine?

    Putin sounds exactly like Hitler justifying entering the Sudetenland.

    And after Clinton almost invaded Haiti to reinstall the elected Aristide, Bush simply had Aristide kidnapped out of Haiti. So much for Maxiep's American moral superiority.

    agreed!

    "Those aren't Russians! They speak Russian, and they deny they are from Russia, and they wear masks. But they don't wear Russian symbols, so they are not Russian!"

    I thought Putin persecuted homosexuals...

    Why is he entering another country through the back door...?

    Why should I listen to someone who's only had 83 posts in 12 years?

    You should be ashamed of yourself.

    Apparently, Putin is Andy, and Obama is Barney Fife...

    Not all cops are good (bummer that is how posters interpret my position on law enforcement). But at least law enforcement agencies are given jurisdictions where they have authority. I guess US presidents see themselves as having jurisdiction over the the entire world.
