    Not a puppet? Spare me. Where is he right now? What a coincidence!

    Did you intentionally misunderstand what I said? They could have just taken the territories they wanted that were supposedly majority Russian and left it at that…the west wouldn’t have done shit about it. But they didn’t, did they?

      They are taking historically Russian areas like Donetsk and Luhansk. The west is doing what it wants because it’s using Ukraine as a proxy war to damage Russia, and is carving Ukraine out for resources. Yanukovych escaping the far-right Banderites that the west supported doesn’t mean he was a puppet either. You’re deeply confused here.

        Imagine being so communist and/or anti-American that you can’t criticize a fascist capitalist state over a liberal capitalist state.

        You’re too smart to make the argument that Russia’s actions are restricted to the areas they allege are majority Russian.
