You know, the US government formed in 1776 was technically illegal too. Never mind the fact that the Ukrainian parliament voted to oust their tyrant. Never mind the fact that Novorussia is a Russian fabrication to justify invading the Ukraine, and that a large portion (if not the majority) of these “rebels” are in fact Russian soldiers!
So what is your point?
The American Revolution was actually a brutal civil war. Hmmm - sounds familiar.
Ukrainian parliament voted to oust their tyrant. Well, gee. Unfortunately, that is not how their constitution works. Imagine (in America) if a democrat congress just "voted" out a Republican president and installed their own guy. What would you call it? At the very least - ILLEGAL.
Maybe yes that there are Russian soldiers in eastern Ukraine. So far the evidence shows that the vast majority of the rebels are not Russian.
The bottom line is what is worth of sending billions to Ukraine to support an illegal government? Is this worth even ONE American death?
Let them sort it out.
Ukraine government has given a summons to Oliver Stone as to where he met with Yanukovych.
Summon him on crimes from the snipers shooting protests to pillaging the treasury. Hardly sounds like the brainwashed rubbish we hear from Putin defenders.
