Whose side do you really want to be on?
Meanwhile, the Right-Sector Nazi’s (yes, ACTUAL NAZI’S), the only effective combat formations the Kiev Gov seems to have, are engaged in ethnic cleansing in the Southeast. You can’t call it anything else.
I wouldn’t call Putin’s moves “Masterful”, but more “Machiavellian”.
He knew what what was happening in Ukraine, (and who was behind it), and had a plan to move on incredibly strategic Crimea should the government fall. It did, and he moved. That the Southeast would try to follow was clear to anyone with even a basic understanding of the area.
yeah, so says you.
