“Sure. But Czech Rep and Slovakia agreed to form two nations.”

True. Thank God.

“Ukraine did not agree to do this.” West Ukraine, under the control if its color revolution Western bosses, does not agree, yet. Yugoslavia also separated, and also violently. Do you support forcing Yugoslavia back together?

“Russia illegally annexed Crimea by force,”

Utter bulls#it. Crimea was annexed with a phone call: Take down one flag and put up the other.

“as they created the Donbas independent areas by force of arms.”

Not the way Russians or the people of the Donbas see it. Are you happy about risking WW3, with nukes, to continue to force the (formerly pro-Hitler pro-Nazi) West Ukraine domination of Russian-speaking East Ukraine?

A united Ukraine is worth so much to you that it’s worth triggering WW3?

A nation that was created from whole cloth by V.I. Lenin in 1918 as the Ukraine SSR, inside the USSR?

A united Ukraine that has only existed as an independent country since 1991, and whose borders have shifted wildly down the decades and centuries?

That’s worth WW3 with nukes, to you?

Incorrect.

“In February and March 2014, Russia invaded and subsequently annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine...
... On 23 February, pro-Russian demonstrations were held in the Crimean city of Sevastopol. On 27 February, masked Russian troops without insignia[41] took over the Supreme Council (parliament) of Crimea[42][43] and captured strategic sites across Crimea. This led to the installation of the pro-Russian Sergey Aksyonov government in Crimea, the conducting of the Crimean status referendum and the declaration of Crimea’s independence on 16 March 2014.[44][45] Russia formally incorporated Crimea as two Russian federal subjects—the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol on 18 March 2014.[46][47][note 2] Following the annexation, Russia escalated military presence on the peninsula and leveraged nuclear threats to solidify the new status quo on the ground.[49]”

The whole world is in knots trying to avoid WW3. And is, say, keeping Poland entirely intact worth it? Russia has it's own perspective on igniting WW3 to take into consideration, too.

Such times we live in, oh Lord.
