And as of today they are not Ukrainian. Just how is the West supposed to ship arms into the Crimea?
We may as well argue what Russia is actually doing to destablize the Ukraine, i.e. sending fake protesters into the cities. They are already killing Ukrainians in the Eastern Ukraine. The Ukraine has not retaliated yet but the moment they do against these "innocent Russians" it will give Putin the pretext he needs to invade the Eastern Ukraine.
Of course giving his cheering section on FR even more reason to high five.
The invasions / annexations are so textbook. I just can't believe people are stupid enough to swallow it.
I can’t believe people like you don’t realize that the propaganda is also whitewashing Ukraine and the paid protestors and the Neo Nazi nastiness of Svoboda.
The US has no freaking business getting involved.
Let the EU/Putin duke it out.
Says who? I once saw a post on here that said that Russian tanks were headed to Kiev. I laughed a lot. The tanks never showed.
On a major news network they showed Russians purportedly standing in line for bread. Sometime in the late 90's. BIG talk about the lack of food in Russia.
So we called friends in Moscow and offered our home to them if they needed somewhere to go. They laughed a lot. It was untrue.
There's a lot of misinformation out there.
