If so, was it polled somewhere?

    Some Russians who maybe maybe not that lived in the area fought against Ukraine which means they wanted autonomy therefore it’s ok for Russia to annex and invade Ukraine

      Quick question: did you know about any of this before today? Did you know about the Maidan Coup? Did you know about the nearly 15,000 casualties, including over 3000 civilian casualties, in Luhansk/Donbas between 2014 and 2022? Were you aware of the extensive reporting by western sources on far right elements in Ukraine committing crimes against humanity?

      If any of that was news to you, do you think it’s ever appropriate to pause and reassess your position? Or are you just going to double, triple, and quadruple down on your fairy-tale understanding of the world with smug quips that don’t address anything of substance? smuglord
