Russia or China had done something similar in Mexico, WE would have invaded, justifiably so.
If Ukraine had abided by the Minsk Accords, this war wouldn't be occurring.
If and buts were candy and nuts, it would be Christmas all year long. But, none of the ifs or buts change reality -- which is that any annexed territory will remain part of Russia. Nothing will change that.
The present government was elected by the Ukrainian people, not installed by the CIA.
The hostility among the Ukrainians traces back to centuries of Russian domination. It is not something manufactured by the US government.
The language law was no more onerous than that of Quebec. And no, the Russian language was not banned.
Ukraine was never a threat to Russia, and Putin knows it.
Finally, Ukraine did abide by the Minsk Accords by passing the law granting autonomy to Donbas and was preparing to hold the required referenda. It was Russia who violated the accords by not withdrawing its forces, not handing over the border to Ukrainian control, and by blocking the referenda that Ukraine was planning.
Enough with your Russian propaganda.
There are many on the left who accuse America of being hostile to the ethnic Mexican population in its southern states. Are you saying Mexico would be justified in invading the US? If foreigners don’t like living in a country, they can leave.
