So its ok for your former Yugoslavia do take action in its own interest but other countries cant? the only comparison between Iraq and Russian and Hussein and putin is how incredibly stupid they are when it comes to reality.

See your wrong rhe Ukrainians asked the EU to become involved in Ukraine. In fact it was Russia that caused this it was their policy to punish Ukraine for not behaving as they thought they should. Russia doesn't realize the past made Ukraine run from Russia. Instead of nurturing a relationship they set up tariffs on Ukraine over changed them for gas. They payed more than many European countries. They sent substandard goods to Ukraine and when it caused deaths turned the other way. If Ukraine tried to set up standards to defend themselves from sub standard products Russia would threaten gas supplies.
To make matters worse they chose to ignore what Stallin did to Ukraine. Millions of Ukrainians died at his hands. Yet Russians are perplexed the minute they had an option to reduce russian influence they jumped at it. The west didn't have to do anyrhing it was already lost when the Soviet Union fell.
As for the US they had no concern with Ukraine still don't. If they did could end this quickly. The reason it's still going is they are letting France and germany handle it. Obama doesn't want to touch this and you can see that by his lack of response. I know in Russia they say he's actively plotting against Russia. To anyone in the west this is a huge joke.

Yet you don't have issues when you spout bs and garbage. Ironic that instead of refuting facts you whine and want to stop the person form exercising their own independent thought.
How typically Putin. Silence those who donate agree...
Surely even you can appreciate the irony in your position.
Launching personal attacks only shows you can't refute the facts. The very same issue Putin has right now.

I find it hilarious Russia doesn't like being treated in the manner they treat countries they have no respect for while demanding they be treated with respect. Putin claims Ukraine is not a real country but apparently can't accept the fact about Russia himself.
The Ukrainians? Or the Ukrainian politicians that are puppets/agents of the West, that also happen to be anti-Russian hence the ease with which the West wooed them over?

So how would you feel if a coalition of countries started bombing and invaded the USA? Would the US government be welcomning and accepting of being treated the way they've treated other countries?
How about if another country started launching drone strikes against targets in the USA?
How about if another country funded NGO's to stir unrest and trouble in American society and politics?
You were talking about irony..well how about hypocritical and one eyed.

Wasn't even Yanukovych pushing for closer ties with the EU? At least until Putin bullied him.

No that's not it. Imam trying to figure out why you brought up bombing other countries / US while discussing Russia. Your comment dent fit so I asked what it had to do with what we are talking about.
As for Yugoslavia comment - don't dismiss the Baltics Poland and Ukraine and their response to Russian aggression while arguing Yugoslavia had every right to do what's in its own best interest.

I've seen lots of evidence to back it up.
and even more evidence of particular individuals sticking their heads in the sand singing la la la i can't hear you.
then wondering why no one takes them seriously or has the inclination to show them for the hundredth and first time what everybody else who knows how to read already knows.
I do like the image of putin single handedly invading Europe on a bald eagle though.
pretty much sums up how many here want to portray the situation.
now that's funny.
or at least it would be if it wasn't such an old joke no one of sane mind actually took seriously the first time it was told.
