If the US was destabilizing PR with "Green Men" and trying to annex PR then of course the two scenarios would be similar.

But of course we are not doing that.

It should go without saying.

The U.S. annexed Puerto Rico in 1898, and it has been a U.S. territory ever since.

If the U.S. got involved in matters concerning Kaliningrad, or Siberia, then the authir would have a point. But Ukraine is an independent, sovereign nation that is a U.S. and whose sovereignty and territorial integrity was guaranteed by the U.S., the UK and Russia in a treaty. If the author wanted to use a proper analogy, he should have said that tbe U.S. becoming involved in the situation in Ukraine would be like Russia becoming involved if the U.S. took Vancouver Island from Canada.
