why do you care whether Russia takes over Crimea, seriously?

Like I said, Obama has been running troops, or bombing, in countries around the world. Should Russia “take a firm stand” against us for doing that?

The right of nations to self-determination is the cardinal principle in modern international law. The United Nation Charter stipulates that “nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and fair equality of opportunity have the right to freely choose their sovereignty and international political status”. The Crimea republic is entitled to no less than that. It was never fully part of Ukraine, as it has its own Constitution, government and parliment.

It is not in the interest of the United States to have a murdering KGB thug attempt to reassemble the USSR. Freedom through strength, FRiend.
