From the Russian perspective, you were cool with US taking Northern Mexico, but they’re being called out for going into a neighboring territory that is strategic to them. And, was recently within their sovereign territory. California’s Sebastopol has always been taught as as being a namesake for a Russian city not Ukrainian. 19th Century Russians ventured as far as Sonoma County on the Pacific coast.
Hence the "Russian River".
I rarely tag sarcasm, so let me be clear, the entire problem on the Southwest border with Mexico is because of corrupt, incompetent and insane policy of the US government. The same government policy toward Ukraine and Russia is far worse.
Veritas, goddess of truth, mother of Virtue, welcome to FR.
Possibly, some platform of truth and moral authority can be restored to America over the false witness of Obama, the Rats, RINOs and their willing MSM propagandists. They can out lie Russia hands down but they can't bluff Putin.
