Ukraine and Russia both left the Soviet Union peacefully 30 years ago thru mutual agreement, which Russia wholeheartedly agreed to at the time. Ukraine didn’t “secede” from Russia last night because they didn’t like the election results, and then fire on Ft. Sumter, leaving “Vladimir Lincoln” with no choice but to stop them. But nice try with the false Confederate analogy.

7 states seceded peacefully. Then Lincoln attacked one of them. That is the accurate history.

We've all been led to believe that they attacked first, but the truth is that Lincoln sent a fleet of warships to attack them before they had ever fired a cannon.

It was because those warships started arriving off the coast of Charleston that the Confederates attacked Sumter.

They waited to see if Lincoln's threat to send warships to subdue them was real, and when they received proof that those ships were indeed coming to attack them, they neutralized the fort so they would not face attacks from both the ships and the fort at the same time.

I bet you didn't know any of this and you are now asking yourself, "What the H3ll is this guy talking about? I've never heard that before! Must be some kind of nut or something. Surely my government wouldn't lie about what happened? "
