Crimea is dominated by ethnic Russians. When Ukrainian-Russians saw their man was kicked out of office, what Russian would support Ukrainian nationalist kicking out their leader, and moving in their own leader? Eastern Ukraine is Russian speaking, they have Russian family in Russia. They don’t want their language to be abolished, either, like the Ukrainian government did by enacting a law that abolished the Russian language. The Donbass is mostly Russian people. Zelenskyy regime hates Russians but wants to claim land that ethnic Russians occupy, and made their home. Ukraine does not need Crimea and the objective to try to get it back is purely political based on nationalism.
Crimea belongs to Ukraine, no matter how big the Russian minority was, it doesn’t justify a Russian invasion.
Lots of countries have minorities in other countries, and can live peacefully as neighbors. Only Russia decided to act with hostility and interfere and undermine Ukraine, as they try with Europe, UK and USA. Because Russia is a country run by Putin who is a corrupt criminal, using mafia and KGB methods in every aspect of running Russia.
That you defend such a criminal regime only shows you are a brain washed fascist with no regard for decency or other people.
Of course, it does. When your enemy is arming your neighbor to be against you, that is more enough justification for any country, including the US. You act as if the US obeys international law and never staged a coup, or invaded a country. What is the US doing in Syria now? The US has up to 800 bases around the world, and you talk about Russian imperialism as if that is real. The US wants to dominate Europe via NATO. NATO is how the US exercises influence on Europe. This is power politics by Russia, it is not about conquering anything, but keeping US influence in check. You have no evidence to support your claims.
Hmmm… 10 years… what happened in 2014 again?
Oh… riiiight…
