As an employee of a neutral newspaper Washington Post, I would just like to loudly say that WE ARE PROFITING FROM THIS WAR, THAT IS WHY THIS WAR IS GOOD.

    Ukraine sacrificing Crimea? What a cruel thing to make them do, give up land that they’ve had no control over for almost a decade.

      Cool, so about ten years after illegal occupation and seizure you’re cool with the rationale of “no takesie backsies” and you still believe Putin will actually stop there.

      Have I got a bridge to sell you.

          You actually believe that protest was spontaneous by residents.

          I’m sorry, I was lying before; the bridge isn’t really for sale. I morally can’t feel good about taking advantage of someone that gullible*.

          • PS- If anyone ever tries to tell you “someone wrote gullible on the ceiling” or “you dropped your pocket” they are trying to get you to look to make you look silly. It’s actually a joke at your expense, I just thought someone should warn you.

            you can’t seriously swallow us state dept propaganda and scream at anti imperialists to just get in line, while also telling other people they’re gullible with some middle school tier redditisms

            Yes.

            A lot of people aren’t thrilled with the idea of living under ethnic nationalists that intend to use them as scapegoats for the mess of modern Ukraine.

        “Illegal occupation” dude shut the fuck up, the maiden coup goverment was illegal and there’s a reason western media doesn’t bring up the Crimean referendum

        Crimeans spoke loud and clear, they are not Ukrainian, they don’t want to be Ukrainian and they sure as shit don’t want their region torn apart by a bunch of nazi banderites

        The fact you think Crimea is even up for discussion shows just how ignorant and remote you are from this conflict, read anything besides CNN articles you fascist waterholder
