So is Brighton Beach, does that make it Russian territory?
How so?
BTW, still waiting to hear about Russia's lease of the Crimea you've alluded to.
What's to 'hear'. When Ukraine left the USSR, the Crimean peninsula was immediately leased by necessity. You are approaching this as though I am pro annexation of the peninsula.
On the other hand, Obama/Hillary and the rest of those idiots backed a plan to overthrow the Democratically elected government which lead to the entire crisis in the first place.
It backfired spectacularly in Obama's face because of Putin.
End Result.
Crimea is part of Russia now. People there are glad of it.
East Ukraine looks to and supports Russia. This is where the industry and resources are located.
West Ukrane got Joe Biden's son as head of their Oil Company which has no Oil.
Obama & Hillary apologists are either either ignorant of this or ignore it, and seek to make it a Trump issue. I think they need a 12 step program for Derangement.

The Sevastopol naval base was leased but not "the Crimean peninsula".

As I've stated before, Russia was leasing a naval facility by terms of a treaty they unilaterally terminated in 2014.
I'll ask again:
HOW is Ukraine a 'fake entity' as you allege?
If you don't know a lease does not give one title to the leased property but what evidence do you have a lease of Crimea by Russia is still in effect?
I find it shocking that the GOP would change their platform to make it pro-Putin and pro-Russia, and then Manafort and Trump would both claim they had nothing to do with it. Trump could possibly be unaware as to who in his campaign actually was involved, as he seems oblivious to how the campaign is run, so could say without lying "I had nothing to do with it." (technically of course).
But Manafort flat-out lied to Chuck Todd this morning, and you could see Todd was stunned by that lie. There are GOP delegate eye-witnesses who have verified the fact that the Trump campaign insisted that pro-Putin stance be added to the GOP platform.
Trump is clueless, but Manafort is a total sleazebag.
I realize that Hillary's supporters aren't one for facts (if they were they could never vote for the woman), but that one should be obvious.
