Russia 'reserves right' to invade Ukraine because ethnic Russians killed ethnic Ukrainian

[geek tragedy]

Doesn't make sense? Well, neither did the US's pretext for invading Iraq, and Bush's soul mate Vladimir Putin is playing the Bush-Cheney playbook to perfection.

A 22-year-old man was stabbed to death in the clashes between pro-Russian protesters and a crowd favouring European integration and denouncing Russian forces' seizure of Ukraine's southern region of Crimea.

"Russia is aware of its responsibility for the lives of compatriots and fellow citizens in Ukraine and reserves the right to take people under its protection," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Implying the pro-Russian protesters were not to blame, the ministry said peaceful protesters had been attacked by right-wing groups armed with pneumatic guns and batons who arrived from other parts of Ukraine.

Witnesses, however, said the pro-Russian demonstrators threw eggs, smoke bombs and other missiles and broke through a police cordon to beat their opponents with batons.

This would be prosecutable under the Nuremberg precedent as the waging of aggressive war, then again so was Bush's war.
