“We believe the prerequisite for meaningful diplomacy and real peace is a stronger Ukraine, capable of deterring and defending against any future aggression,” Blinken said in a speech in Finland, which recently became NATO’s newest member and shares a long border with Russia.

          Around a third of a country including major food and oil producing regions. Are you in a cave where google isn’t available?

            Huh, I didn’t realize that we had a 51st state. Who is the new governor?

            Wait, I just looked at a map. It turns out the US borders haven’t changed. Are in you in a cave where the definition of “annexation” is unavailable?

              Oh I’m sorry, your shithole country is only occupying Syria without having officially incorporated the regions you’re pillaging. That makes it totally different. 🤡

                Yes, it does. It means that the US is among the countries that gave up using force to alter its boundaries, whereas Russia is not among them.

                    Many countries, including Russia, just come and occupy countries whenever they feel like.

                    Actual annexation is what makes Russia the greater evil.
