Yes, the Mao quote sums up the justification for Putin very well. It’s might makes right. And both Grenada and Panama involved outcomes that returned power to the people of those countries, not annexation by the USA. They also involved protecting US citizens. People living in Crimea were Ukrainian citizens, some of whom speak Russian. It’s not exactly the same, legally. It’s more like how the Sudeten Germans were used to justify the takeover of Czechoslovakia.
