Whether someone's concerns are legitimate is in the eye of the beholder, but actions can be directly observed. Unilateral violent invasion must not become a legitimate tactic again. It was the norm for centuries, and excluding it resulted in the fastest rise in global living standards in history--including in the U.S. and Russia.

Do you recommend violent 2014 coups instead? That is our position on Ukraine, officially.

I thought Russia did a unique “full scale” unprovoked invasion? You can’t have it both ways and pearl clutch about sovereignty.

World affairs is only ever literally just gentlemens’ agreements and always has been.

The coup happened before 2014, when Yanukovich took over the supreme court and reverted the country's constitution.
