>But for the sake of the argument we can skip the details. Let's say you're right, the constitution was changed, and from now on elections are illegitimate. Are you suggesting to treat them illegitimate forever? Is there a process to make them lawful again?
I think using your analogy, the Russian position is that a fork is needed.

- yucky 4y ago> Forking or not should still be Ukrainian business, not Russia or US. Agreed 100% - but once the US decided to meddle in Ukraine shouldn't we have expected Russia would respond? I mean, that's been written in stone since the 1990's that Russia would not play games when it came to western encroachments in Ukraine. People can talk sovereignty all they want, but how do we think the US would respond to China playing the same games in Mexico? Or for a real life example, the Soviets setting up shop in Cuba. Spheres of influence are real and crossing those lines start wars.
