The is no real moral equivalency. Responsibility to Protect is a valid military measure. The U.S., however, used lies to invoke R2P, while Russia's reasons are valid.

McFaul's 'thief who breaks into your house' analogy is also stupid. What's going on in Ukraine is more like: A husband (UA government) is beating the shit out of his wife (Donbass), and she manages to call the cops (Russia)...
Does that husband have a right to continue beating his wife? Should a neighbor then intervene to provide that husband with weapons so he can fight off the cops who came to protect the wife from being murdered?
I guess McFaul would argue that the wife deserves to get the shit beat out of her. Hell... he was perfectly fine with handing that abusive husband the baseball bat (400 tons of lethal aid) that he used again her to begin with.
Unreal that he is even asking this question.
