[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Russia has Crimea. Why is Russia not allowed to control the Black Sea? As you say, it is a resource. Why is it that the U.S. must hold a monopoly in the world to wage war when it wants resources?
Ask yourselves that, I suggest.
Is it ok that Russia invaded Ukraine? No.
But I can see why Putin did it. He and much of the non-Western world are aware of the insane power imbalance and the monopoly that the U.S. has on grabbing any resources around the world without any repreccusions for their actions.
His goal seems clear to me, to make resources for Russia and undermine the brutal rule that the U.S. has established around the world that prevents his country from becoming economically better positioned.
Sadly, Ukraine and its people are paying for the power grab of Putin's, just as many have suffered when other Empires did the same. 
Just the fact that people here think the U.S. must do something shows that the U.S. is aware that its position as the dominant Empire is in danger and must do something about it shows that Putin is right.
The U.S. rules the world with its military and political, and economic power and leaves scraps for the rest.

States are only allowed control of territorial waters 12 miles off their coast. The Black Sea is much larger than that and bordered by other states - Ukraine, Romania, Russia, Bulgaria and Turkey.  All those countries control near their coast. While there are disputes over exact boundaries, Russia definitely doesn’t control all of the Black Sea. [/quote]
