    You mean they’ve been fighting Russian backed separatists that were trying to join their regions with Russia

    If they want to live under a totalitarian regime they were always free to move to Russia themselves

      Ah yes the ever popular “they should have self deported instead of getting ethnically cleansed”

      How come you guys were okay with kosovo ‘voting’ to leave Serbia, but suddenly this is a bridge too far?

    • Do you realize how sociopathic this sounds? Are all separatists deserving of being bombed by the country they live under? Would you say the same to the people of Yemen, or Palestine or Ethiopia? “You’re being bombed, so just leave”?

        Depressingly for many libs the answer is yes because guy with blue tie was president and responsible for bombing them. Guy in red tie too but that’s less relevant. Kosovo and Syria are better examples.

          But it’s okay for neighbors to pull their neighbors into IMF debt servitude, to say nothing of couping the government because it wasn’t pro-west enough. Really letting the euro chauvinism fly there.

      This is literally just “if you hate america ukraine so much, go back to your own country!” repainted as a liberal viewpoint

      Should the Bosnian Muslims just have gone back to their own country to avoid being murdered by right wing paramilitaries too?

        Wait so you believe paramilitary groups were ethnically cleansing ethnic Russians in the Donbas in/pre 2014? Do you have any sources for this?

      Careful not to let your MAGA hat fall when you yell at the clouds.

        Well for one example: if you pose a real political threat to the regime, you get thrown into prison or out of a window

            What would happen to you if you started a tv show where you publicly talk about the crimes of your government? It might come as a shock but there are plenty of countries where you can do this without falling out of your window

              Thinking “starting a TV show” = “pose a real political threat to the regime” is the most liberal brained thing I can imagine.

              Ask Fred Hampton what happens to actual threats to the regime.
