What do Palestine protestors have to do with this?
A base that was in Ukraine. Fucking hell, listen to yourself. Imagine if someone said "Oh well it's a natural Nazi move to question America's access to Guantanamo Bay."
Russia didn't liberate shit. Russia took Crimea.
Caught on tape saying that the existing leader of the opposition is the guy that would be the head of the interim government. That's about as much an indication of guilt as an election pollster calling a safe seat correctly.
If America wanted Yatseniuk in power so badly, why did it do nothing to keep him in power?
Crimea was a gift from Khrushchev at a time where people are still alive. Not much Ukrainian migration to Crimea happened in meantime. Ukraine's neutrality was part of the constitution that their independence was gifted. Crimea does not want to be ruled by nazi pig filth. To you, pro NATO nazi pig filth, awesome. Romanian anti-NATO nazi pig filth, straight to jail.
Poroshenko even better nazi, with bonus privatization under capitalist ideology corruption. Helped CIA/US State department finance and media manipulate coup. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petro_Poroshenko
Oh well if it became part of Ukraine in living memory then I guess that makes it absolutely fine, and on that basis the UK is completely within its rights to reconquer Pakistan, which was a gift granted in the partition of India
Are you arguing for ethnostates? If you aren't, it does not matter how many ethnic Ukrainians lived there
Oh, right, another guy who was voted out. Why did the US not install him instead of Yatseniuk, then? Why did they let Zelenskyy beat him?
Thank you for doing the lord's work. You'll never get past the Russo-pilled parrot speak but it's a joy to read sane comments.
Edit: The guy has 1.7k comments in 4 months and literally every one reads like it's pasted from a propaganda LLM. Drives me nuts that you can't have a normal conversation on the internet without being assaulted by this shit...
