They’ve already done that ....twice in some instances
89% in favor of autonomy or joining Russia
Crimea same thing
West dismisses it
Of course
This was all so pointless and civilians paid the price past eight years which our media conveniently ignores
Not me cause I follow it
My son and I communicated with DRP soldiers during this ....several of whom were killed
Strange wars these days ....
Neither side is pristine retaliation wise....DRP will kille Azov prisoners given the chance but the hype about Azov dogma and behavior to civilians is not exaggerated much
Any particular reason you and your son followed this? I know it has neen simmering but so have a lot of other areas...
Agreed. Today the whole world is watching. There is no good reason for the Russophone regions not to be added to Russia if that is what the locals want. Moving the dissenters out is lots cheaper than war. Putin should announce his intentions to limit his advance to these areas, for the reasons stated and hunker down. As the war drags on to a stalemate, the propaganda-induced enthusiasm in the West will ebb.
By the same token, Bosna-Srpska needs to be reattached to Serbia.
