The majority of the population there self identify as Russian.

Ignore the anschluss, it's not like the US can stop them anyways.

Even if that is so does it give the Russians the right to invade a sovereign nation.

well this is what happens when CERTAIN countries have UN power that they can never be removed from THE UN counsel seems Russia has always had a problem with Ukraine and will seem to with draw from the country. Ukraine wants to join the European Union and have modern civilization instead of still being Communit

I think it is a little hypocritical for an American to point that out given our track record...

what am I wrong about?
Russia, USA, France these countries have permanent seats on the UN counsel & if it because Russia I suppose to be DEMOCRATIC well you keep Believing that Ronald Regan & Michal Gorbachov stopped Communism I have family there and nothing has changed

mail is still read by officials and everyone still poor & needing help phone calls still listened to by the government

Sounds a lot like the Obama regime!

let Ukraine be its own country without anyone prying them open and forcing them to do what they want. They want to join the EU let them. Russia will threaten to stop natural gas supplies again.There has to be a reason the Russians offered them all that money after the Olympics

And it sure isn't out of kindness of their hearts

So, you think that being Democratic is the key to a PermSec? No. There is China.

Power puts you on, nothing else.

The Russians have already punked out Obama, and like many nations have no
respect for us any longer after the Obama, Hillary charades.

The UN security council was created at the end of WWII. The winners got permanent seats.

Yeah. You have to win a powerful struggle. Yet, 3 of the members have completely new Constitutions since WW2.
