Crimea is a special case. It used to be Russian, then it was Ukrainian, now it is Russian again. In view of the importance of Crimea to the Russian military, they should never have given it to the Ukraine in the first place.

And in view of Nato's and the EU's efforts to pull the Ukraine into the West, Russia simply had to take Crimea. The West didn't leave Russia any other choice.

Crimea has been with the Ukraine as a territory since 1954.

Before that, the USSR committed a genocide and slaughtered its native tartars.

Whole Russian military units were deployed.

Get out of here with that pack of lies.

If Russia had officially invaded the Ukraine, it would have looked very different. What happened in the Ukraine was halfhearted, mostly clandestine support for the separatist militia in the Ukraine, who did most of the fighting, but in a rather unprofessional way. And it showed.

They are killers. Their assassins range all over the world seeking out the criminal regime's perceived enemies. They are mobsters who control a country, robbing it blind.

Eff 'em.
So are the Chicoms. Yet you have no problem with the fact that Biden is compromised when it comes to China.

Most Tartars were actually deported to other regions or fled abroad, not killed. Stalin, who was responsible at that time was not Russian, but Georgian.

Mass dying was common at that time throughout the USSR because of the severe famine, result of Stalin's incompetence.

Yeah... deported where they died. It’s considered a genocide by the rest of the world.

Nose is looking a little brown there.
