@jeffcliff @DW2 @leespringfield1903 @verita84 He's literally stated that. The situation is actually challenging. A bunch of people moved to The Ukraine like 100 years ago from Russia and there's ethnic enclaves. The USSR falls apart, but these people still feel more Russian than Ukrainian. Should they be forced to abandon their homes three+ generations in? I'm not sure. But Ukraine claims it's a democracy and didn't recognize the votes for self governance from those areas, even when international supervision said it was legit. Of course no country ever recognized secession without conflict, but this particular situation wasn't properly addressed. At all. Meanwhile the CIA coups are the only reason zelenski is even in power. It's a big Charlie Foxtrot because zelenski as a puppet of the West and jewish interests is unwilling to bend, and Putin has a nostalgic 40 year USSR anniversary tour he's preparing for and is getting up there in years. You've got two people who won't bend on this, which is really a sign that the forces at play are bigger than both of them.
