Hmm. You don’t think that the vast majority of voters in Crimea wanting to leave Ukraine means anything? Or the fact that historically Crimea was part of Russia? Or the ultra repressive laws passed in Ukraine against those of Russian origin, or Russian speaking with Russian names, means anything?
And your assertion that “Putin learned from Soros” is really odd, considering that Soros will be arrested if he sets foot on Russian soil, so is not exactly popular there.
You seem rather biased.
Not literally learn from Soros directly, but copy from afar. The way Putin also copies neoconservative military actions.
Again: We Don’t have to choose between the two (Soros and Putin) - they’re both working against the best interests of the United States.

The Crimea thing is more complicated than “invasion/occupation” I agree with that. But it is not also the innocent referendum on self-determination the Russian govt. claim it is. And Crimea’s long history with regard to ethnic-makeup/identity is LOT more complicated than the “majority Russian” statistic of post-Soviet times. Its history goes back centuries! And some groups there, like the Tatars have been there for ages!
For the time being anyway, Crimeans of every descent: Russian, Ukrainian, Tatar (those who haven’t left) identify primarily as “Crimean” than with either Russia or Ukraine.
