Ukraine is on Russia’s border and was tossed into chaos when their government in Kiev was overthrown “Spring style” back in November 2013; after a few months of turmoil, Russia stepped in to protect their regional interests. I wish the USA would do similar along our southern border with Mexico; own that shit.

In a parliamentary system, the party is elected and their selected person serves as president. The protests resulted in a no confidence situation, and the President found himself unpopular even in his own party. He resigned. It’s hardly a national crisis. It happens in Britain, Israel, and other places where a parliamentary system is used.

New elections would be held, and a new president would come along. The old president and his henchmen have been kicked out of their political party, and they are being sought for prosecution for firing on the protests and killing people.

Now you explain to me why Russia had to come in and fix things? Should it also invade Britain, Israel, or any other nation where the president steps down and new elections are indicated? Evidently so...

There is no justification for Russia doing what it did, and no twisting and moaning and groaning is going to change that.

Using your rules, since there are a lot of Spanish speaking people in southern Texas, and since many of them are recent arrivals, Mexico could easily state just what Russia did, that their fellow Mexicans were being mistreated, and Mexico needed to step in to protect them.

I wouldn’t approve of that either.
