International law is not perfect but it is the only mean we have to curb the law of the strongest.

Either we enforce the few rational agreements which help stabilize the world such as the one protecting Ukraine for having given up on it's nuclear weapons or we give up on international law.

Forget it's Putin and forget it's Obama which are the most vocal here.

Also, Russia is weakening demographically and economically. The most educated Russians are leaving the country, those who stay are even more easy to manipulate. And somehow, the countries that partner with it suffer the same fate. No wonder Ukrainians want to get rid of Russian ties.
