RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:This brought a huge smile to my face!!Exactly, Crimea was part of Soviet Union, not Russia. Most of these eastern european countries were a part of USSR, but that is no more and Putin needs to get over it. It collapsed, and it is not being resurected. BTW, Russia invaded Crimea Feb 27, 2014, and the so called referendum vote was on March 16, 2014. Nice, invade a country first, and then ask them if they want to join your country. Also, the referendum's available choices did not include keeping the status quo of Crimea, I wonder who worded the options??
Maybe Turkey has the right to Crimea as it was annexed by USSR in the Russo-Turkish War in the 1770's.
You still have not addressed my points about Putin poisoning and imprisoning his adversaries, or is that made up left wing lies too?

I guess if Quebec had another referendum to separate and create a new country they would have every right to do so if the vote was a majority. Or if Alberta or any province wanted to leave Canada and become the 51st US state, they could simply vote on it within their province and the rest of Canada would have no say?

You support people camping in residential neighbourhoods and honking horns all day/night for weeks on end. You support ripping down a fence surrounding a War Memorial to protect it, and then urinating all over it. You support verbally threatening innocent people walking down the street because they choose to wear a mask. You support an illegal shut down of the Canada/USA border with $500m in commerce daily, costing countless jobs and food on the table for law abiding citizens. You support these criminals who represent a small far right fringe of the Canadian population (financed with over 50% foreign money) stating they will never leave until their demands are met. If that isn’t anarchy, what is??
You support the war criminal Putin saying he only wants respect, yet he poisons and imprisons his detractors.
Your comments on here have decisively shown your true colours. You are a racist far-right wingnut Trump/Putin supporter, who listens to and believes the filth spewed from Fox/Fake News garbage Tucker Carlson and the rest. You have joined the cult, and there is no way of reasoning with you. Good luck with your miserable thoughts.
I'm a racist far right , wing nut that supports Trump/ Putin ?...... lol, really ? Trump is an egotistical, narcissistic lier that imo has promoted alot of division in the country........so no, I do not support Trump.....not much of a fan of Biden either.......I did like Ronald Reagan back in the day though. Putin.......I don't know much about him other than what western media propaganda tells us. What I do know is that the U.S. made a deal with the former USSR back in the day that if Gorbachev played a role in the Berlin wall coming down between E and W Germany, the US would not move any further east with NATO. They have broken that promise. Can you blame Russia for not wanting the US situated on their biggest land border ? Putin has done nothing up until 2007 since he's been in power until these promises were broken . The US needs to mind their own business and stop meddling where they are not wanted. BTW........judging from the tone of your posts, you really do seem a bit radical, incapable of respecting others view points, and pretty quick to pre-judge.
Do some reading.......90 % of the Crimeans consider themselves Russians and voted to remain with Russia which the Ukraine and the west apposed.
The difference is.......the Ukraine used to be part of the former Soviet Union but now they are not since the collapse and the Crimeans were reluctantly caught up in the divide.
