Agree. And because they can. Who is going to stop them?

Country's all over do stuff to each other (good and bad) this is no different...

The disputed region was originally a part of Russia and in 1954 was transferred to the (then USSR ) republic of Ukraine , as a token of "friendship between the Russian and Ukrainian people" ..
There's been trouble since the ending of the USSR, mainly because of Sebastopol , the main marine harbour of the Russian "Black Sea" fleet and the fact that most of the inhabitants are Russian (speaking) people who don't feel at home in the Ukraine.

The new government in Ukraine is not legitime.The legimate president fled to Russia and asked for help.
In the east of Ukraine most people are russian whos rights r violated by the new government that mostly consists of nationalists. They forbide the using of russian language, destroy the memorials to the russian heroes of the 2 world war and after that Russia should do nothing??? Russia is defending the russian people who live in Ukraine, nothing more.President Putin told today he is not going to invade ukraine and make Crimea russian terrytory.And USA should remember that Russia is still a mighty country that has enough atomic weapons to fight with.

Seems like a good reason. This new dilemma reminds me of the Crimean war back in the 19th century where Russia was also defending orthodox Christians in Muslim lands. I'll have to say no to intervention. This isnt American business. Americans don't need to stick their noses in everything.

Haven't read up on it, nor do I want to get into a political argument (especially not knowing my facts).

I am of the mindset that we should only deal with domestic matters, though. No playing "world police force". There's a lot going on right here on our own soil that should be solved, not ignored because of issues happening across the world that have nothing to do with us directly.

Correction. When a World power starts annexing territory from a sovereign nation, it creates instability. This is very different.
I wont go too far into politics except to say... Watch what you are being taught. Look for facts, and opposing points of view.

Im not saying the US should intervene...but I wonder if Alaska is next? After all, it once belonged to Russia too, right?

Forced famine comes to mind....
