    That’s a weird comparison, since Russia took Crimea from Ukraine after a covert invasion and sham election. Wouldn’t it be more like Czechoslovakia saying that it would take back Sudentenland from Nazi Germany? After all, Russia is invading with the excuse of protecting ethnic Russians.

      Sham election? the majority of Crimea is Russian! It was given to Ukraine under soviet administration for easier logistical coordination. This isn’t proof of some divine right over ukraine. Any proof it was a sham election besides bluster? they had it like 3 times
