It's your problem because YOU CAUSED IT. You set the example that international law can be breached without consequence and you caused so much hate for America in the world and all these guys blinded by their hate toward U.S. are now cheering for Putin to play strong man and 'show the decadent westerners'. And he knows it.
It's about setting an example. If Russia can just invade without even trying any diplomacy at all because they are strong enough to do so, what do you think other nations will learn from this? How do you think China will behave once they are done upgrading their military power enough?
Good luck to us all putting those spirits back in the box now. I sure hope we don't need another WW to learn again why living peacefully and solving problems diplomatically was a good idea. Because there is no guarantee that the world will survive it.
