Repeating ad nauseam Kremlin Bolshevik gaslighting fairy tales will never make them true. Obviously, like Putin, you believe Ukrainians don’t have a right to their own borders, language and culture separate from Russia. That’s ok. Do you feel the same about Americans? Do we have a right to our own border, language and culture? Marxist Democrats would certainly agree with your position on Ukraine as it applies to the US.
Repeating that the war could continue, when Ukraines are beyond recovery is just taking the Russkies are worth killing, no matter whom you have to genocide it do it.
This was the most avoidable war in the modern history, but we chose it anyway.
Ukrainians had every right you mentioned, except joining NATO and genociding the Russians within their borders.
Here is a newsflash for you. Countries that existed before the idea of nationhood don’t just look at borders when deciding who is a member of their country. Their people cross borders.
