Actually, the provinces in question did choose to separate from the rest of the Ukraine in order to preserve their native language and culture. The USA has fought both for and against such separatist movements in the past depending upon largely unintelligible criteria and the same bloodthirsty idiots will cheer it on in either case if that’s what the TV says to do. They’re happy as long as the bombs are flying and some mother’s son is dying without comfort in some muddy hole. But hey, you are at least politically savvy.
Again pushing the big lie? The 2014 referenda in Donbas was for autonomy within Ukraine, not independence. Nor was independence needed to preserve the Russian language. Following the Minsk accords, Ukraine passed a law, twice, to grant Donbas autonomy. It is only Russian occupation that prevented it. As for the 2022 referenda, I will not even give them the time of day. Putting aside Luhansk and Donetsk, does anyone really believe that Zaporizhzia and Kherson, with 70% and 80% Ukrainian majorities respectfully, really voted to be annexed by Russia.
That’s false. There never was a “vote” in the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia. A city of 700,000 people. Not even a Stalinist fake vote which you, apparently, approve of. Yet still the tin pot tsar had fevered dream and declared it part of his fantasy empire.
Conservatives have always been fact based because they are on our side. Marxist Democrats, OTOH, are lying filth who never miss a chance to be dishonestly advance their anti American agenda.
