Justify it any way you want to, but Crimea was just too strategicly important to Russia, to be allowed to fall under western control.
The FSB isn’t stupid, and they knew exactly what was happening inside Ukraine, and exactly who was behind it.
That they acted when the government fell is only a surprise to EuroMaidan activists and Obama supporters.
Tweet from a Donetsk rebel account:
FLASH - Per my info, in Donetsk, the clean-up of the airport is nearing completion. At least 300 NazGuard surrendered. More later.
I haven’t even been following events in Donetsk today, with everything going on in Lugansk. I’ll look for confirmation.
NOTE: If both airports have fallen, this is a huge development.
I like how the Putinist/Paulbots imagine that a country that actively murders innocent people and includes real honest to goodness Nazis and "ultranationalist" communists who want to reestablish the USSR, and this publicly, is somehow actually responding to some other country's eeeevil and, most importantly, secret conspiracy that involves putting anti-EU Nazis (Yarosh) supposedly in control of a country they want to bring into the EU at any cost.
Even your own fantasy of Nazis running things contradicts the rest of the fantasy, and then you still have the nerve to spam me and say that I am friends with Nazis like Yarosh, without realizing how stupid everything you say is.
