Your response to me above:

“Putinista logic:

Putin steals election = good
Biden steals election = bad”

So am I happy Biden stole the election or do I think it’s bad? Take your meds and at least try to remain consistent... it’s embarrassing

They can never keep from showing their hypocrisy because they always keep talking and it just comes out. lol

[marcusmaximus]

You can't have it both ways, Putinistas.

[Boogieman]

“I didn’t”

You certainly did, characterizing it as “MSM talking points” to object to Russia’s conducting a sham election.

[Silver78]

Isn’t that the truth!

Let me know me know when FR censorship central, kthx.
Then watch as things implode.

Why vote when you can have a Revolution like Kiev in 2014!

You mean when the democratically elected parliament removed Yanukovych for abandoning the office of president when he fled to Russia after he had ordered the police to fire on popular protesters? Nothing at all like Russian backed militias ceasing power in Donbas. In the meantime all of you who keep crying "coup, coup coup" completely ignore that there have been two free elections since and that the present government was elected by a large majority. Cannot have that fact obscuring false charges of a coup.

[cranked]

Let me know when FR becomes censorship central.
Then watch things implode.

[marcusmaximus]

Russia or Detroit?

[cranked]

Ask your CIA/MI6 handlers at ORYX, I am sure they know.....

[PIF]

or not exist at all.

[ScottinVA]

or not exist at all.

Even better.

[Jan_Sobieski]

Ok Genius…Let the Disenfranchised states go then!

My relatives were Yanukovich voters. They didn’t want a Revolution to overthrow their Elected President.

[kiryandil]

Because we all know that vote will be free and fair, with not even a smidgeon of corruption or coercion from the Russian invaders.

Cleaner than a US presidential "election" no doubt...

Another writer who knows nothing of the history of the region including many here on FR.

So here again is David Stockman’s article on explaining the Ukraine, Crimea and the other territories and why this not any of our business:
