Always have been, if we are talking about political Ukrainism. Technically, the Austrian Germans started their program of Ukrainisation of South-Western Russians (Ruthenians) a bit before their program of Nazification of Germany itself.
So your position is that if Russia claims it doesn't like something that is going on in another country, it has the right to go and take charge of that country. That's called imperialism.
Same thing about American actions in Taiwan or Kosovo? When your official or unofficial ally is attacked it's OK to come and defend him. From the Russian point of view, it was Ukraine who attacked Donetsk and Lugansk People Republics (allies of the Russian Federation).
If China attacks Taiwan we will defend Taiwan, but we will not attack China.
It is not at all certain the U.S. would actually use its military force to battle Chinese military forces should China attack Taiwan. “Strategic ambiguity” is still more or less official U.S. doctrine. For now the U.S. will probably just continue to sell military arms to Taiwan and continue to pressure it not to sell high tech chips to China, its biggest trade partner,
Of course that is very much the same as saying we need a Kim Jong-un or a XiJinping, two other dictators Trump admires. Actually for over two decades your hero Putin has utterly abused and run into the ground the Russian economy, allowing its wealth to flow freely into the coffers of an compliant class of super-rich and super-corrupt oligarchs. Russia under Putin has fallen further and further behind the West, despite its immense size, oil and other natural resources. Sure, just what we need here!
Again, nothing but bullshit from you. Ethnic Russians were never persecuted so there was no one for Putin to defend. His goal from the start of the invasion in 2014 was to colonize Ukraine. Donetsk and Lugansk are two Russian colonies he created.
Stop lying, there was NO invasion in 2014, if there had been why would the Russians have to invade again in 2022, no ethnic Russians persecuted, behave yourself, after the Coup they were attacked in Donbass by the Ukrainian army and airforce because they refused to go along with the coup , some were burned alive in Odessa trade Union building, that was a sign of things to come, and some people are still in denial so they have fabricated a story about a Russian invasion.
Perhaps people believe that on Planet Putin but here on Earth, there was no coup, Yanukovych was removed by Constitutional processes, and the 2014 violence began when Russia launched a proxy war against Ukraine, during which Russian troops entered Ukraine.
Taiwan is officially recognized as a part of China by the US government. Defense of Taiwan, officially, is an attack on China. Defense of Kosovo was an attack on Serbia.
Really? So, what about Odessa Massacre in 2014? And do Russian language have the same rights as Ukrainian?
What happened in Odessa was a street fight that had an unfortunate end and was not an act by the government, and Russian speakers or ethnic Russianns have all the same rights as everyone else. This war is about Russia's ambition to colonize Ukraine and nothing else.
There were some street fights in the USA in 2020, you know. But the government of the United States didn't sent "non-government KKK terror battalions" for murdering those "treasonous N-ggers".
