Jonathan Chait: "Countries have recognized borders, and you can't just send goons into some other country's territory and take it for yourself because you don't like their government. It is true that the people inhabiting Ukraine are divided linguistically, religiously, culturally, economically, and politically. That is also true of many, many other countries in the world. That does not obviate the fact that there is such a thing as "Ukrainian people.""
