Would have worked great for us back when we were fighting the Germans and the Japanese - as long as you don’t mind a little slavery and maybe extermination.
Sure glad you never tried to get into the Marines.
It's moronic analogy. Those nations invaded other nations against their will.
The Russians are working with the people of Donbass, specifically of the armies of Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republic, to liberate Donbass of eight years of war, persecution and genocide at the hands of Ukrainian nationalists and neo-Nazis that have a burning hatred for ethnically Russian people in what used to be Ukraine.
The Azovs and Ukrainian nationalist have been using civilians as human shields in Donbass and killing them if they try to escape.
All that is why the Russian flag is going up in city after city in Donbass and local currency is being converted to rubles. This all happening with approval of the overwhelming majority.
The narrative you believe is a lie.
