Why do you spread Putin propaganda constantly on this issue?
Everyone, except, oh, 50000 or so who protested in Moscow.

This isn’t Putin propaganda - my point is that while Russians don’t want war with Ukraine - there is a unanimity of view in Russia even among Putin opponents that Crimea is part of Russia.
The West is defending the edict of a long dead Soviet dictator over the wishes of Crimea to be a part of Russia. Its going to be completed by the end of the week and there is nothing we can really do to reverse it.
We don’t have history and justice on our side - we’re reduced to defending a previous Ukrainian constitution no one voted to restore and we’re defending a regime in Kiev no voted for either. The Crimean referendum this weekend was transparent and fair.
And instead of accepting the results, America and the West talk to Russia from the point of a gun. That won’t change anything on the ground. The West can continue to try to senselessly beat up Russia or it can move on. Its made its point.
Well if Putin was the second coming of Joe Stalin, how could he allow 50000 to protest in Moscow?
