But West Coast, its really open to debate if he is an invader at all. He seems to be only taking back places which were/are part of Russia but through some quirk of fate have ended up on the wrong side of a line on the map.
Of course its an invasion, the parts where given away by the authorities at the time and the country as is recognized under law. The majority of said country, and also the particular parts don't want Russia's help.
But if you want to look at invaders you should look at our own actions such as in Iraq!
Yes it was an invasion, carried out with various excuses to make it legal under international law. On top of that the vast majority of that country s recognised under international law (60% Shia, 20% Kurd) wanted Saddam and his brutal government gone.
Now that was an invasion with a truly terrible outcome!
No it was a fantastic outcome that was going ahead far better than I expected. The country was stumbling along nicely trying to find its feet in an democratic environment. That was till some d!ckhead got into the white house and f@#cked it all up.
This was not helped by all the people, who for all intents and purposes are terrorist sympathizers, or could accused of giving aid and comfort to the enemy, by wishing that the extreme minority should be running the country.
