Again, Ukraine is a sovereign nation. You apparently don't think a sovereign nation has the right to join the EU if it wants to.
They have the right. And Russia has the right to respond. Ukraine was not unified in that decision. Thus the civil war. What about those who disagreed? We had a civil war. Should other nations have come over here and chosen up sides? How do you think that would have ended? I suggest it would have ended with the end of the U.S.A. We would now be owned by someone else. Sometimes it is better to let those people figure it out, right or wrong, themselves.
The EU was also stirring up trouble and they knew it. There are no really innocent parties in that conflict.
La la la....I’m just having fun here...la la la...while I build a cannon ON MY OWN PROPERTY and aim it at my neighbor....la la la....move along.
