A statement that affirms we live in the United States of Amnesia.
Your Russia-phobic sanctimony sounds like sour grapes from a hedge-fund manager on Wall Street or the City of London. I suppose you want me to shed tears for a bunch of goose-stepping Nazi knuckleheads of Ukraine, led by that Kapo Zelensky. They cannot hide by simply re-flagging and rolling down their sleeves to cover up the swastika tattoos.
Apparently you forgot that the United States invaded Mexico and annexed more than half of its territory, which is now seven states between California and Texas. Manifest destiny was a b*tch. Although the most important difference is that the Russians don't need to spend $250 billion arming the Mexicans, because the drug cartels are already heavily armed and control the market in the U.S. border states. No doubt that Pfizer is jealous.
If you think that Russia should handle a border dispute differently, then you suffer from delusions. And what's more, the large Russian population of eastern Ukraine has a right to declare independence from the local government, just as the American colonies declared independence from England.
By the way, can I get a commitment from you that it's all good for Mexico City to officially reclaim former territory in Communist California? Let's face it, that would be no great loss. I was hoping that Hollywood and Silicon Valley would be swallowed by an earthquake by now.
