So if California voted to secede from the Union and return to Mexico, the only reason why Mexico would need to invade California is if the rest of the Union said that California's secession was illegal, even after having an overwhelming vote of the majority of the people who live in California.
Which is what happened in Crimea. The people voted to secede from Ukraine, the EU and the US said it was illegal.
What business it was of the EU and the US, one can only wonder. Perhaps something to do with Sea Ports and Trade.
Did you watch the video?
No really, did you?
And teh people do not get to decide either! If my family voted to secede from our state and country and establish our home as a nation- it is meaningless even though the vote was unanimous. 50% +1 does not make anything legal. NOw if the people really wanted back to Russia- if Putin was a decent ruler he would have opened talks with Ukraine to reach a peaceful settlement and probably give somewhere else for it.
but no-= Putin invaded Crimea in February 2014 and the vote took place in March 2014! Did he have precognition? Did he know in advance the results of the vote and just acted ahead of time?
No he invaded because Crimea gave him greater access to the sea! He had been arming the seccesionists with high grade weapons for a while, to stoke a revolutionary war against the Ukraine.
