Crimera has been part of Russia longer than Texas has been part of the United States. Kruschev, a Ukraneian, gave it back to Ukraine in the 50’s

Sorry, what part of Crimea is Kherson? Putin has Russian soldiers there now laying land mines.

What other countries besides Ukraine is this tin pot czar free to invade? We need a scorecard, FRiend.

“Crimera has been part of Russia longer than Texas has been part of the United States. Kruschev, a Ukraneian, gave it back to Ukraine in the 50’s”

You are a fount of disinformation.

(1) Crimea, not “Crimera”

(2) The Crimea has been a part of the Ottoman Empire/Turkey longer than the existence of the Russian Empire. So, by your reasoning possession of the Crimea, a Tatar name by the way, should revert to Turkey under the still operative treaty the Ottoman Empire the right to reclaim the Crimea from Russia under the current circumstances.

(3) Kruschev was a Russian and not a Ukrainian. It was Kruschev’s wife who was a Ukrainian.

(4) Kruschev did not “give” the Crimea to the Ukrainian SSR, but he did transfer the Crimea to the Ukrainian SSR for a variety of reasons, including the exchange of the Crimea in part as reparations for the millions of Ukrainians murdered by the Russians and the theft and despoiling of Ukrainian properties and rights under Communist law.

Had we and other western interests not been stirring the pot, none of this would have happened. Author is giving the western ‘rogue nations’ and NGOs a pass.

It’s sickening hearing conservatives comparing Putin to Hitler. The killings would in Ukraine have been indiscriminate and brutal. Same with Stalin. None of this trifling stuff. Real brutality.

The other thing about this rally round the flag crap, we are being led by people (Kerry, Biden) who loved the communists in the Soviet Union, and they’ve absolutely turned our flag flaming pink.
