> how is that "better" The facts are: - US had 0 intention to join Kosovo as 51th state, and election were performed under observation of UN peacekeepers which were there per UN resolution - Russia invaded Crimea using regular army, and within two weeks merged territory in violation of UN statute > where the political regime just illegally changed before that, exactly in the direction of suppressing politically all ethnic Russians in Ukraine I disagree with your assessment. Ukraine is a mess, old pro-Russia president and his party illegally changed constitution, which caused chain of events. |

Who ever claimed that?
> Russia invaded Crimea using regular army
No. The Russian military base https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sevastopol_Naval_Base was always there, and especially it was there as a Russian base since the breakup of Ukraine from USSR, so already for a decade and a half before 2014. Moreover, even before 2014 Crimea was an Autonomous Republic in Ukraine, since 1991.
Compared to that, Kosovo was not even a republic, but an "autonomous area" in the Republic of Serbia before the U.S. war, and there was surely zero U.S. military bases there before. Which says something, seeing:
