> 80 years of toppling democratically elected leaders and supporting Western aligned dictators ought to give a small hint that democracy that doesnt suit their interests doesnt even register as a concern for the West. By west you mean US? Its not like europe was active in any of those, bar illegal invasion of Iraq and Afganistan lead by US forces. > Russia feels threatened because NATO was set up specifically to oppose them Hmm I wonder why? Why nato was not set up to stop those dangerous Turkish people, or blood thirsty Ukrainians, but peaceful USSR, and then Russian Federation lead by exKGB spies... hmmm I wonder why anyone would be concerned. > official policy that the crimean referendum be annulled rather than re-held? LOL, ok you are a troll at this point. Fighting with 'whataboutism' is pointless If you and putin love democracy so much why dont you setup referendum for Chechnya people? Lets see how that vote goes. > NATO destroyed Libya. The fact it did it at arms length is immaterial. Nato targeted and destroyed Libyan army, know your facts. There was no ground forces ever deployed. To pretend NATO ever threaten any aggression to Russia, Russian civilians or Russian soil is a farce bigger then you.
