All of these statements by individual Western governments have been worked out with each other beforehand; the US/UK/France know and approve of what Germany is going to say, Germany/UK/France know what the US is going to say and approves, etc. etc. They're on the phone with each other 24/7 right now. | ||

No. They can't have any foreign policy on their own, and only all-Ukrainian referendums can be held according to the Constitution. | ||

USA asking for international observers and sending of diplomatic envoy to Crimea. The rest seems relatively inocuous. France calling for a dialogue not from another age (unmistakable talking about the world wars). Ukraines neighbors and France/UK/EU involvement in Ukraine is called for by France. | ||

The US statement was slightly awkward imo, to me it came across as "You're always bitching at us in here when we do this kind of shit (and we get away with it anyway) and now you do it yourselves wtf?" =P | ||

UK and France seemed like more or less canned statements. | ||

The US has done it and gotten away with it once since the UN was created, Russia's done it over a dozen times since 1945. Most of those were back when the hammer and sickle were flying but it's still Russia. | ||

And the Paliament has always been swarmed by reporters. Yanukovich was impeached, deal with it. | ||

Mexico has a diaspora in America, not the other way around. If you wanna take a dim suspicious view of things: America comes in, maybe sets up a puppet government, and has some corporations make some money. But they always leave after awhile, and any government they propped up will be abandoned to its fate. | ||
