Two wrongs, lot of wrongs make a precedent. And legally speaking, a precedent  is very similar to a law or right.

For good or not, what USA did in Irak is : make war to Irak, search dead or alive all the government, make stay its army for years, fought years of guerilla and financed and influenced the new government. So how does Russia sending a few thousand military guys for just a week, without kills or resistance in an area where lot of people are russians could possibly qualify more than that as an annexion ?

I'm not defending what the US did in Iraq, but they did not annex the country.

What you are saying is that since the US occupied Iraq in suspect of posing a threat or other such pretence, its fair game everywhere. Well, magificent! I think its time Great Britain reclaims all their past provinces. Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, etc. Lets wave those nukes and reclaim what was once theirs!

Your line of thought is about as destructive as it gets.

Again, the US did not annex anything. The US does not own Iraq and for all intents and purposes they deposed a tyrant that was opressing his people (or at least a segment of them).

I'm just talking on a forum, and I'm really noone, can I really be that destructive ? What I do think is destructive is the chaos USA make by creating precedents in Irak or Kosovo. What is destructive is also for USA to lose by selfish actions its legitimacy to oppose to invasions. So please don't blame me if at some point Great Britains claims anything, because, really, it's not me that broke the system.

The tyrant thing is just the last stand now that weapon of mass destruction and terrorist links with Irak happened to be bullshit. And it's a weak argument because USA is very selective about tyrant to depose and it appears every time in line with self interests.
