I’m certainly a defender of their right not to be genocided.
Seems a few posters here aren’t so big on that right, no matter where it applies to, notably @Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy.
The anti-democracy Fascists continue to reject the will of the Crimean people.
Crimea is Russian.
If you cannot accept that then you can take your far right brand of fascism back to your shithole Western states.

That was more of a Catalonia style unofficial referendum
So you reject the democratic rights of the Crimean people?
It wasn’t even near that in terms of legitimacy. The two “choices” amounted to effectively the same thing - union with Russia.
Russia occupies the sovereign territory of another country. It’s that simple. They occupy the sovereign territory of three other countries.
I suppose they could send the RNLI to rattle a collection box at them.

What are the British Navy doing in the Black Sea?
Well they’re not there for the fishing
Boris wants to take the Dardanelles
My understanding is they’re there as part of a NATO presence at the legitimate invitation of Ukraine.
What is Russia doing illegally occupying part of a sovereign state?
That is the pertinent question. Russia occupies part of Ukraine on the exact same basis that the Nazis moved into Sudetenland.
Some people have a real problem with democracy.
The usual Russophobes out here with their anti-democratic views of Crimean self determination.
It’s very Trumpian to deny the democratic rights of the Crimeans.
It’s very far right to be espousing the rhetoric of far right Ukrainian nationalists.

The whole thing is quite bizarre. Putin probably got his boys to fire at empty sea to satisfy the fascist wet dreams of his deranged fanboys.
You’d have to laugh at the ignorance of this simpleton.
Sure the guy who ran Viktor Yanukovych, Russia’s fifth columnist in Ukraine, who poisoned the guy who beat him in the 2004 election, and who slaughtered his own people at the Maidan in 2014 before fleeing to Russia, was Paul Manafort.
The exact same guy who ran Trump.
Sweep sweep
People on here can pedal their anti-Russian, racist agenda as much as they want. They can continue to pedal the rhetoric of the far right Ukranian nationalists as much as they want.
The bottom line is, the people of Crimea spoke at the polling booths, they exercised their democratic right and Crimea was returned to Russian rule democratically and peacefully.
So you would only have an issue with that if you are a deranged far right racist and it’s pretty easy to see that when you scratch at the surface of Russophobia.
It’s sad that Russia continues to have to put up with racist barbs and Western aggression from foreign forces on their borders and territories.
