So your ok with NATO making provocative movements against other countries without just cause? You say yourself that the west was and still is meddling in the ukraine.

Russia officially acted within existing agreements made between it and the Ukrainian state. That means that officially, they broke no law in entering Ukraine, as Russia has already made deals with previous Ukrainian leaders in regards to such actions.
In saying this, it is quite obvious that Russia, and the US, are playing clandestine games with each other. Such clandestine activities are also, quite obviously, in violation of international law.
No one side is innocent in this matter, but i think Russia has played their cards right thus far.

They clearly broke the budapest memorandum.
According to the memorandum, Russia, the U.S., and the UK confirmed, in recognition of Ukraine becoming party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and in effect abandoning its nuclear arsenal to Russia, that they would:
1 - Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty within its existing borders.
2 - Refrain from the threat or use of force against Ukraine.
3 - Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine in order to influence its politics.
4 - Seek United Nations Security Council action if nuclear weapons are used against Ukraine.
5 - Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6 - Consult with one another if questions arise regarding these commitments.

To hell with Putin wanting answers from NATO. The whole world watched as he took crimea BEFORE the referendum. Geopolitics leading up to the situation were obvious, and Russia made their move. It's NATO's turn now. This is what happens when you chose a military contingency instead of a diplomatic one. You aren't going to get the co-operation and answers you would have been due.
I was not ok with NATO/EU meddling in Ukrainian and Russian affairs. What I am ok with is NATO doing what it was formed to do: Defending Europe.

NATO defending Europe? more like occupying it for 50 years now. The same NATO that aided terrorists in Libya and almost tired the same in Syria.edit on 4-4-2014 by Agent_USA_Supporter because: (no reason given)

Indeed you should because it seems to me that you only know half the story and have sucked up all that propaganda and are unable think anything unless you are told.
The stuff they call news in the west if often little more than a nice looking female new readers saying what she thinks (well what she's told to say) or softball questions and answers that have been scripted. Little to no facts let alone any news footage.
You see this is why you think a Commie is hiding under your bed waiting to kill you and maybe if you watched Russia Today, Forced yourself to endure the pain then you might just get a better nights sleep.
Go 50/50 on your pro-west/Pro-Russia news if you want to be in a position to have all the information needed to make an informed decission is all we are saying

Could it not be argued that the west broke the treaty by illegally overthrowing the legitimate government and planting a western backed puppet and said response by Russia was in defense of Crimea's sovereign right to choose?.
Which is why Russia has no right to demand intel on NATO troop movements.

Russia has every demand intel on NATO troop movements.
As it is NATO whom is the aggressor agaisnt Russia not the other way around look around you and the current maps of Europe and how many bases NATO has in Europe let alone the black sites.
But believe Russia already knows NATO troop movements, as that article is nothing more then propaganda.

You should just do yourself a favor and start reading instead of talking out your ass before your brain has had a chance to fart. You have no idea what you are talking about and no idea what my views on the subject are. Maybe you should figure that out before you go full retard.

Who exactly are the occupied nations? You realize they are all willing signatories?
