The Kosovo intervention was humanitarian effort to stem the flow blood in a real 1990s genocide situation (not a flaky claim 200-year-old aboriginal genocide!).

The Crimean annexation was a purely self-serving 19th century old-school vintage land-grab by force.

Hilarious the delusions these merkin-phobic tin-pot dictator cheerleaders live under.
You are right Looper there has never been anything like Crimea, cant compare the invasion of Granada for instance, there was no referendum there and a number killed and it was in direct contravention of a UN resolution.
There was no referendum there because leftist rebels executed the prime minister and took charge.

The seppos took them out and democratic elections were held the next year.

As for UN resolutions, you're another one that hasn't got a fucking clue how it works.

There was no resolution - it was veto'ed by the US.
