      Ideally, yes, but I’m not sure what type of agreement they have in place. It can give US a reason to invade. Trump is probably looking for a reason to justify invasion.

      He might create one actually anyway, Like WMDs in Iraq or Putin version, nazis in Ukraine or NATO expansion in Ukraine.

      One of the main real reasons Crimea in Ukraine was invaded was due to access to Sevastopol port.
