Neocons like you don’t believe history that the Russian federation declared itself a successor state to the USSR but the USSR said it was not a successor state to the Russian Tsardom.
Net net, Crimea before 2014 was only part of Russia from 1945 to 1954
What? That is some circular logic you are using. Regardless of your moronic response, Russia was the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union was Russia and you just sound like an idiot to quibble about it.
