So you agree with me.
All you can do is come up with examples that most of us didn’t
back, back then either.
It doesn’t help Russia look better at all.
They are merely operating under the same rules we do
Also those republics declared independence. Russia recognized that (all legal under UN law) then responded to their request for assistance. All legal
Either way, it doesn’t make sense for those people to stay with Ukraine. Ukraine has been shooting heavy artillery at them for eight years and has killed over 10,000 of them. They’ve kind of given up there right to pretend they own it. So good for them that their new friends won’t shoot artillery at them.
