The selected president of Ukraine is removed by nato forces . It is not illegal.
But Crimea people are allowed to vote for their feature is illegal.
That's what I find most ridiculous about the whole situation, if they have a democratic election and it's fair, who are westerners to say no? It's obvious there is something going on because the Europeans and Americans are looking just for an excuse to pick a fight with Putin, it also makes me think twice about Putin though when the fact is that the Ukrainian president was trying to hand the entire country over to him. We have a similar situation in the UK with Scotland and the EU, people want a vote on it, but the politicians in power are doing everything they can to make our decision for us and don't get me started on Northern Ireland.
