I think your doing the usual hyperbolic exaggeration when you want to defend your pro war anti-Russia position by mischaracterizing mine.

As far as Ukranians being happy to join the Russian federation, I’m guessing many in the breakaway republics are, yes. I didn’t write the Minsk agreement, don’t blame me for the government in Kiev for not honoring it.

Mebbe the Ukranian government should have kept NATO out of their military and declared themselves neutral.

Annexing? Which part of Ukraine was annexed? The former territory of Galicia, the Austro-Hungarian portion, Polish portion, or the one who’s borders were agreed to after the dissolution of the Soviet Union? What concept of Ukraine are we talking bout now? Is it the one the (ahem) spirited nationalist want without Russian religion or culture. The ‘pure’ Ukraine?

Man, try to keep up. Ukraine was already an independent nation. It’s been in a civil war since a US backed coup. I’m guessing your good with US backed coups?

Putin’s a neocon? How so? Just say your pro war and save the silly questions.
