the Budapest memorandum and the negotiated basing rights with Ukraine by sending troops in without ID on trucks and uniforms. After the fact, Putin admitted they were Russian. They then broke international laws by blockading the Ukrainian navy and seizing those vessels that were prevented from leaving. They surrounded the Ukraine bases and then stormed them and seized them and the equipment also. After that they held a vote and the Tartar's and many Ukrainian's protested and did not vote in an election that would not have allowed them to stay with Ukraine. You do know remaining with Ukraine was not a choice on the ballot, right?

We sure did screw up Iraq but at least we left and allowed them the chance for self rule. To bad they are so divided the Sunni's, Shiite's, and Kurd's could not get their act together in the last few years we were gone. Now they are crying to get us back.
