Russia didn't invade Ukraine
If so Ukraine would have been taken in within three weeks
your incessant call for proof lack basic logic
Russia in fact did invade Ukraine by sending in armed forces without insignias to take control of Crimea before any votes were ever held.

Putin even admitted that the little green men were Russian troops. It's not a lie. It's fact that Russia invaded Ukraine when they sent troops to Crimea.

Your use of the word "invasion" and "little green men" is a lot different than mine, I am sure.

Some people seem to have difficulty with the concepts of "before"and "after," as in: Crimea was part of Ukraine before Russian troops were patrolling in the streets, then became part of Russia after the Russian troops arrived. Please work on mastering those concepts.
rimea is home to the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Its vitally strategic to their interests and has been for centuries. The Russians don't have to invade something they already occupy.
Crimea belongs to Ukraine. They allow Russia to have a certain number of troops stationed there. The second Russia sent in armed troops above and beyond the agreement they have with Ukraine they invaded.

So you would have no objection to the United States declaring Okinawa to be the 51st state? Even if Japan objects?
Does that mean that the US is justified in annexing Okinawa the same way Russia annexed Crimea.
