Again, I do know what they had exactly, since I am not in that position. Remember, I am making a large assumption.

I am basing this in what I have read so far.

Do you support your country invading Ukraine, and would you do it if you where in Putin's position? Depends on what information you are given by subordinates.

I would not invade ukraine unless russians are being assaulted by the guerrillas there.

Again, the same situation placed on USA. Just USA was assaulted on their own soil. And the current Russian populous chose to live there.

USA was assaulted by 22 guys. You chose to invade a whole country.

And those twenty-two guys were assisted and protected by the Taliban government.

And the guerrillas are just assaulting a few Russians, and how do you know if they being assisted by the government?

I don't care if they are being assisted by the government. If there is a group of people messing with russian population and ukrainian government is not doing anything to prevent it I would get involved.

So, the same here. If the Taliban government is not going to do anything about those terrorist, we would get involved. You cannot justify your own countries involvement in a similar situation, and demonize mines.

In my example it is to protect group of people on the invaded territory from further harm. The people you have to protect are in america. So it's not to protect somebody but to kill somebody. What is the motive? Justice and revenge? If yes then you must weight the costs. Is war worth killing bin laden and hid buddies? And also I'm not so sure america was not capable of taking him out without war. They are superpower in year 2001 after all.

If Mossad can do it america as well ca do it.

Russian born in the Ukraine are Ukrainians, and not Russia. There was no need for Russia to invade a foreign country.

I can the same stance as you, and pose the same questions. The excuse used by Russia is a false one. Russia wants the port, and does not want the Ukraine to join the EU.

The United States has left Iraq, and we are leaving Afghanistan. I bet Russia will not leave the Ukraine or Georgia. I cannot say one is better than the other, but your country does not have a proven track record either. So, why argue about another country until yours has risen above all others.

Yep, with the current given evidence I would.

Just like you would invade Ukraine and Georgia, but I would not.
