First of all, it is dishonest to call the Russian action “unprovoked”. It most certainly was provoked, and most likely intentionally on the part of the Ukrainians, who specifically violated a treaty by belligerently sailing warships into Russian territorial waters without following protocol.
Second, the Georgian war, as far as Russia is concerned (South Ossetia was rebelling first) was also “begun” by Georgia, in that Georgia commenced hostilities by shelling a Russian peacekeeper position in South Ossetia.
Third, South Ossetia and Abkhazia were never “annexed” by Russia. They remain (mostly unrecognized) independent nations with their own government and administration.
Fourth, Crimea joined Russia by exercising its own right of self determination. Other then a handful of Tatar who are politically involved with Ukraine, you won’t be able to find anyone in Crimea complaining about this so called “annexation”.
Maybe because they've left Crimea. A former Crimean resident I personally know who had his home stolen certainly does not support the Russian aggression in Crimea. Most people know fake elections are continual Soviet/Russian strategy. Anyone who quotes and believes the 95% figure is a distributor of fake news.
