Where was the international law, when NATO bombed Serbia to sh*t and took away the historical Serbian homeland of Kosovo?

Where was the international law, when George Bush invaded Iraq, and in turn created the ISIS?

Where was the international law, when NATO invaded Libya?

However, personally I do not think that this is ok to invade the territory of another state in the 21 century as well as to break the teritorrial integrity of a different state. By acting so, Russia has violated international law and has breached the treaties it signed

well it depends
Most of Ukrainians consider it to be an agression, while Russians think it was a necessary move by Putin.

This is Andrey Kondrashov's documentary on the return of Crimea to Russia, available with English subtitles. It has been a year since Crimeans took to the polls to vote for returning to their Motherland and leaving wretched Ukraine behind. The Western powers - led, as ever, by the US and UK - are determined to portray this momentous historic event as an imperial land-grab by Russia, and that it caused the subsequent civil war between Kiev and the breakaway provinces in the country's East.

However, as this excellent documentary shows, the Russian government could see that the violent manner in which the elected Ukrainian leader Yanukovich had been ousted from power - with American fingerprints all over it - meant chaos would soon spread throughout Ukraine, and the majority ethnic Russian population in Crimea would be among the worst hit by neo-Nazi militias terrorizing people across the country whom they considered 'insufficiently loyal' to the US-selected regime.

When President Yanukovich fled the capital on February 21st 2013, President Putin set in a motion a series of responses that would present the first real challenge to American imperial hegemony. In this documentary we learn that Yanukovich would have been killed if Russian Spetsnaz hadn't rescued him. We also learn what specific measures the Russian government took to ensure the safety of Crimea, including warding off the American destroyer USS Donald Cook, deploying soldiers on the peninsula (who, contrary to US propaganda, were welcomed with open arms), and jamming/preventing orders from Kiev for Ukrainian soldiers stationed in Crimea to begin terrorizing the local population.

Some in Germany are awake…and singing. Two spunky German retirees didn’t believe Western MSM and decided to see for themselves what’s really going on in Crimea. ‘Around Crimea in 20 days’ cycling tour and a cool song that went viral, were born. The tour (May 9 – 29, 2015) is planned to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory in WWII over fascism, which will be celebrated on May 9 everywhere in Russia and many other countries. It will be celebrated with a great parade in Sevastopol, where our German friends will begin their tour. Want to join? You are invited – more in the video.

One Year After Russia Annexed Crimea, Locals Prefer Moscow To Kiev

The U.S and European Union may want to save Crimeans from themselves. But the Crimeans are happy right where they are.

One year after the annexation of the Ukrainian peninsula in the Black Sea, poll after poll shows that the locals there — be they Ukrainians, ethnic Russians or Tatars are mostly all in agreement: life with Russia is better than life with Ukraine.

Little has changed over the last 12 months.  Despite huge efforts on the part of Kiev, Brussels, Washington and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the bulk of humanity living on the Black Sea peninsula believe the referendum to secede from Ukraine was legit.  At some point, the West will have to recognize Crimea’s right to self rule. Unless we are all to believe that the locals polled by Gallup and GfK were done so with FSB bogey men standing by with guns in their hands. .... more
