What do you mean, “returned territory?” The territory Putin gobbled up had been Ukrainian for generations. ==
This territory for generations is called Novorossiya. The name is self-revealing, isn’t it?
Novorossiya was given to Ukraine by soviet commies. And now Russia is just returning it back home. Restoring justice.
And, Snowden? Do you mean the traitor? ==
Yeah the guy who disclosed that American government spy on her citizens. Who was stuck in Russia by revoking his passport by SD. Now he lives freely in Russia with his wife and kids. Compare his destiny with one of Julian Assange.
Weak argument, Ivan.
Your “New Russia” is just like “New” England; or “New” York; or “New Hampshire.” In other words, it is NOT Russia; just as New England is NOT England; and New York is NOT York; and New Hampshire is NOT Hampshire.
And, you talk about spying on its citizens? Russia is probably the biggest offender in that regard, and has been for a hundred years, at least.
