I followed the news for a while now with regards to Ukraine. I don't understand why people are arguing about legitimacy of things in international politics. The facts are simple: - Russia had Ukraine in her iron grip - EU was expanding east - pro-Russian president turned down EU's offer - Ukrainians got pissed, because the state of things suck and they want change, and EU seems like a good idea (whether it will work out for them is another story) - they overthrew the pro-Russian government, and got a pro-EU one, who is unfortunately also quite corrupt, but that's beside the point - Russia is pissed, and finds a way to intervene. In short, the west started a diplomatic/cultural war in Ukraine, and Russia lost, so it's resorting to physical war now. There is really no good guys in international politics.
