Reminds me of what happened in Virginia after Lincoln launched his special military operation.

Except that that was a civil war, while this is a war between two sovereign nations.

Except it is a civil war. It started as a civil war, Donetsk broke away, as did Lugansk. They asked for Russian help. Like the French helping us in 1770s, the Russians are intervening in a civil war.

That all depended on who you asked. To the North, it was a civil war (or rebellion more likely), to the South, they had declared their independence and were a sovereign state as much as the 13 colonies were sovereign after declaring independence from Britain.

For the purpose of this post, I’ll stipulate what you have written is true.

Does your distinction support or repudiate the principles in the Declaration of Independence?

Oooooh, boy! You've started it now! I can hear the rebel yells starting on the other side of them hills. Inveterate Confederates are an invasive species on this site.
