Russia owes Ukraine compensation for Crimea and for pirating the entire Ukrainian Navy. They are no position to the claim moral high ground.

Both the Crimea and the ships belonged to the USSR, until they were swindled out of it during the breakup of the USSR.
That includes all the nukes that were there.

When Russia steals Ukrainian weapons, like its ships, Putin’s robots on FReeRepublic cheer him for being a successful thief and bully.

pirating the entire Ukrainian Navy This sounds so laughable. I think it's the world's first case when someone has 'pirated' a navy. Usually, they pirate merachant ships, while navies are expected to defend themselves, you know.

When it comes to internati9onal relations, the thing to understand about "moral high ground" is that it doesn't mean squat -- unless you've got the hammer, too.
He who has the power has the "high ground", be it "moral" or not.
Liberals have never, ever understood this.
