Really? Is that how it will work from here on out? Any country who believes it has a claim on land or people in another country will be able to invade?
Will the UK be willing to let of Northern Ireland?
Will France invade Canada to take Quebec?
Will Mexico attack the US and reclaim California, Arizona, and Texas?
Here's a good one - Will Japan invade Russia and reclaim the
Kuril islands, and if so, will Russia just accept this?
No matter how you spin this, Russia has invaded another country with any valid reason. They aren't there to protect Russian citizens; They are not Russians at all but instead are Ukrainian citizens and have been since 1954. There was no violence going on, no threats, nothing, until the Russians invaded.
