So, I've read this through a few times.
I'm not seeing how it relates to or matches up with the issue of either country in regards to Russia or Ukraine.
More information please?

People seem to think that it's bad for a big country to invade and control a smaller one.
We'd want to be sure that we don't have a double standard involved, where it's OK for our team but not for theirs.
You're seriously comparing the Ukraine situation to the one in Haiti? Seriously? Ukraine, a reasonably stable, somewhat prosperous country was illegally invaded by a neighbour intent on its destruction. Haiti, a desperately poor country rendered almost nonfunctional by criminal organizations, is asking for help.
How do you not see the difference?

It has nothing to do with size. Answering a legitimate(if unpopular) government's request for aid against criminal gangs trying to take over a country is not remotely the same as another country invading and trying to annex another country.

As I just pointed out above. The two things are not comparable. Therefore there is no double standard.

Oh...
Okay... that clears up a few things for me.
I'm of the opinion it's wrong for ANY country to invade ANY WHERE.
So Haiti's troubles has nothing to do with the troubles in Europe, got ya.

Did Ukraine request armed Russian assistance in quelling corruption?

I just think it's sad that everybody knows who Luke Skywalker is but almost nobody knows Toussaint Louverture.
It's as if Haiti has never been forgiven for being the first place in the Americas to get out from under colonial rule. It's shocking what's been done to them since.
