but, it's the same result, either way. Either way, you are disrupting a less advantaged country, and winning by showing them who's boss. Ultimately, you have to do this, i'm not saying that Russia's way is less heavyhanded b/c it is, just that our actions are also disruptive to the economy and sense of normalcy.

I wouldn't really say it was the same result.  The russians killed 1/4th of their population and expelled them from their land for like 40 years.

This is also assuming we believe the russians that it was those rebels.

If you study the Russian Chechynian conflict... it's really hard to find a "good guy."

Imagine the Palestine VS Israel conflict except Israel constantly ignored human rights, indiscriminatly kill and even go out of there way to kill human rights activists.
