1. Mr. Putin says: Russian forces in Crimea are only acting to protect Russian military assets. It is “citizens’ defense groups,” not Russian forces, who have seized infrastructure and military facilities in Crimea.
The Facts: Strong evidence suggests that members of Russian security services are at the heart of the highly organized anti-Ukraine forces in Crimea. While these units wear uniforms without insignia, they drive vehicles with Russian military license plates and freely identify themselves as Russian security forces when asked by the international media and the Ukrainian military. Moreover, these individuals are armed with weapons not generally available to civilians.
2. Mr. Putin says: Russia’s actions fall within the scope of the 1997 Friendship Treaty between Ukraine and the Russian Federation.
The Facts: The 1997 agreement requires Russia to respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity. Russia’s military actions in Ukraine, which have given them operational control of Crimea, are in clear violation of Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.

Just an easy way for me to say that just because the US State Dept releases a FACT sheet on the current situation, having been burned before by the same entity in the not so distant past, why in the world would I give this much weight?

well you could check it against other information you have available, and decide how much you like it, or not, based on that.
at least you are open enough to consider the possibility - unlike various people on here!!
#1 is answered.....Yanku fled rather than fulfill his part of het deal of Feb 21.
#2 - because it is the right of the elected parliament to do so if they so choose - they chose to do so for Yanku....why should they not be allowed to do so when he's not there? Assuming it is actually true in the first place.....
#3 - because as a sovereign parliament that is its right to do so
#4 - answers itself - "Several Constitutional court judges were accused of violating their oath ...." - what a stupid "question"!!
#5 - Why would the west support the "coup"?? Really - the west hasn't answered that?? I'm pretty sure the answers are all over het MSM.......something to do with democracy, supporting a mass public movement to get rid of a corrupt president - something a lot of people on here think the US should do, but you can't see how much worse this guy was than anything you have in het USA??
no you haven't "raised the State Dept" - you've just shown up your inability to comprehend the situation.
