I would imagine the Russians have some forces in Ukraine.
Really? Because you flatly denied at the time that 'the little green men' in Crimea were Russian solders.
But then again them being in Ukraine is no different to the west invading Iraq.
Totally different, but it's just easy and lazy of you to tie the two together as Iraq was a largely unpopular and unsuccessful war that few in the West would seek to defend. The fact is, that the war in Iraq was fought under a UN mandate (1441) and was in compliance with international law (unpopular or not).
Edited to add: And I quote:
On 8 November 2002, the Security Council passed Resolution 1441 by a unanimous 15–0 vote; Russia, China, France, and Arab states such as Syria voted in favor, giving Resolution 1441 wider support than even the 1990 Gulf War resolution.
The west did not even try and hide what it was doing there.
For the reason given above. Interesting though that you're admitting that the Russians
are trying to hide what they're doing in Ukraine. Why would they need to do that Ronald, if their cause is so just and legal?
Also Libya, waging an air war so terrorists can take over the country and removing Gaddafi from power, what a disaster that was.
The no-fly campaign was conducted (again with UN approval) to prevent a massacre of innocent civilians in Benghazi. Can't argue there are problems there now, but don't try and pretend that Putin had noble reasons for opposing the NATO intervention.
They even wanted to do the same in Syria but Russia stopped them
Actually, it was the UK parliament voting against it that ultimately stopped it. The UK wouldn't bomb, and the US didn't want to go it alone for political reasons. And again, don't imagine that Putin had the Syrian people's interests or world peace at heart when he opposed it.
At least the Russians are operating in an area that was part of Russia and has Russian people living there who wish to be part of Russia again.
Sudentenland, blah blah blah.
