It seems to me that the Ukrainians practice what the founders gave us as an option for tyranical govt. And threw out their corruption. And a significant portion WANT Russian influence/protection/governance.
Compare it to us. What if CW2 started and the right got help from say Israel. Most of the world would demand we return control to liberals and condemn Israel as tyrants and oppressors.
Should we give it back so as to not offend?
American conservatives are not Russian loving commies. How dare you compare the two.
