You can always tell who the most ignorant libs are when they bring up Crimea lmao
Crimea is not Ukrainian, it has always been a distinct cultural ethnic region and 97% of Crimeans voting for independence from Kiev should give you pause before you breathlessly insist they should remain beholden to a bunch of nazi banderites
the Russian federation is a reactionary bourgeois state that is a hollowed out shell of its former USSR self, but I dislike the hyperbole that it is “the Russian Empire”. Russia Today is neither the Russian empire, nor the Soviet Union. If anything it is closer politically to what it would have been if the February revolution had continued and the October revolution never happened: A bourgeois state.

Pro-democracy is when you ban left opposition but not fascists. Anti-corruption is when you have offshore accounts connected to the oligarch who funded said fascists that you used to work for on his TV program
2014 is before 2022 hope that helps
Oh, so you’re saying that Russia illegally annexing Crimea in 2014 wasn’t an invasion of Ukraine?

Yes you dumb fuck, as a means of protection from the nazi captured Ukrainian army who would’ve otherwise bulldozed the small region
making it pretty obvious here that you have no idea who Victoria Nuland is and only started paying attention to any of this stuff in 2022

Democracy is when you replace an elected leader with a pro-western one.
Liberal Democracy is all about giving Americans the right to vote in your countries elections.

democracy is when you pick the new officials yourself on a phone call with Geoffrey Pyatt

Oh wow, really? A cold-war era campaign? You’re really pushing Putin’s talking points here.
