What a difference it makes when a country has nuclear weapons. Russia is free to annex Crimea, but Iraq was bombed out of Kuwait.

I think the difference is that the people of Crimea genuinely want to be part of Russia (as they were until a few decades ago). Maybe not the proportion claimed in the phony referendum yesterday, but the majority nonetheless. I do not understand for a second why the US is opposing it.
