The population of the disputed oblasts have repeatedly chosen Russia. Allow them the right to self determination. Saying that Europe is next is a non sequitur. Plain scare mongering and propaganda that no one really believes. Stop the proxy war and move onto peace and prosperity for all parties. Trump seems to instinctively understand this.
Fake Russian referendums and fake elections don’t mean anything.
“Saying that Europe is next is a non sequitur“
Really. Putin has done like 7 invasions since gaining power. His government has also attempted to overthrow existing neighbors governments. He has threatened Poland, Hungary, and other NATO nations. I thing ignoring what has transpired, trying to sell this as an isolated act of Russia aggression, isn’t a non-starter. Profoundly inaccurate and misleading to believe Putin will stop after so many invasions. That why I call him Vlad the Invader.
