I'd say modern era should be obvious. Cars were not even a thing in 1893 people rode horses & buggies. There was no phone lines in peoples homes and it was pretty fucking easy for a govt to do things with out the people knowing..
Fast forward to the modern era where we are all informed very easily. In this modern era govt's should not be acting as they did 100 years ago. Govt's should not be rolling tanks to steal other people's land.
It's one thing if there is instability or the govt is attacking others. However in this case, Russia created the instability and used it as an excuse not to be "peacekeepers" but to "steal" land.
Of course you and your putinbot buddies are too brainwashed to understand the difference. The US didn't roll into Iraq & Afghan and annex their land. The US rolled in be it right or wrong but we handed the land back over to the govt when we were finished fucking stuff up.
Also Russia isn't the peaceful fuckfaces you seem to think they are. They have been involved in 12 wars since 1991.

In the same time period the US has been involved in 11 and that counts the 1st Gulf War and the following no fly zone as separate wars. It also counts Afghan & the drones attacks in Pakistan as "separate" wars as well as the 2nd Iraq War & ISIL as being separate.
