That is not a bad point, but then the question is: how much should we allow a dictator to dictate what’s happening on the other side of their border? Hitler was allowed leeway several times, and every time he grew hungrier and then the whole world was on fire.
Plus there’s the fact that Ukraine (=its democratically chosen leaders) itself did not want to be part of Russia. Should they have been forced to be by the international community? What kind of a standard does that set? The US did similar things in South America, Iran. They were allowed to do that due to similar reasons as Russia is allowed to do what it’s doing now, but in principle we can probably agree that it was an evil thing to do, right? And that they should have been stopped if that had been possible.
Is your knowledge of history really so limited that the only comparison you know is hitler? Crimea did vote for joining Russia, and Donbass republics would vote the same way. But obviously weateen propaganda would never acknowledge that.
