[quote=Jannah] It's not like the US hasn't ever done anything illegal... [/quote] Not nearly as blatantly. We may occupy other nations on the pretense they may have nuclear weapons and maybe move economic interests into them. But we're not defending any referendums for anyone to become a part of the US. And if Iraq and Afghanistan has shown their elections haven't really turned out with a functionally pro-American government as was in Ukraine (to Russia).
