It seems most of your arguments on this topic are these sort of “good vs. evil” oversimplifications, or vague platitudes like “the right to defend themselves”. You can’t boil something like this down to such a rudimentary catchphrase and be taken seriously.
Well yes, in certain cases you can. You see, if you invade peaceful countries and torture and murder your and other populations you are "bad". If you hold fake elections that are predetermined or punishing people for voting against you and passing them off as Democratic elections or referendums, you are "bad".
Yep. Nobody ever accused Ukraine of being “good”
Correct, I can't think of anybody who has.
If this were true wouldn't you and beast be dead, imprisoned or exiled already? Talk about a stretch...Putin kills his opponents....you choose to live and pay taxes to the US govt....it's your choice. Nobody is making you do that. You can live in a country where you want to vote and that supports your morals and ethics better than a melting pot does. Choices. After reading that you won't vote because of two candidates, I'm thinking you've completely ignored the minority politcal parties in the US....there are many. I voted outside the red and blue parties in 2016...you have options but if you obstain from voting then you are basically surrendering to the culture you inhabit. Vote johnny...vote constitutional party...there's actually a Statist party and a Green Party and a Libertarian Party....pick a team and then you have every right to complain. If you don't participate you don't have a political voice here. Choices. You're too smart to not vote for the leader of the free world. Make no mistake, your local mayor is not going to have as much impact on your life or your children's future as the global landscape will.
Lol
Right. Celebrated by the "little green men" who moved in and were given Ukrainian land, And who are given social services since they have Russian passports.

There was one casualty because Ukraine had no leader at the time. They didn't want a war with Russia. So the Ukrainian military barricaded themselves in their bases.
Then they all have their Crimean property seized which was then given to the "little green man" who overthrew the peninsula, who were definitely not Russian soldiers yet they are the people who voted to join Russia. In the illegal, sham referendum in which the occupied ukrainians were afraid to vote the wrong way.
Once again. You are spreading
The ethnic Russians in little green uniforms who invaded Ukraine.
Hmm? The soldiers didn't vote. We're talking about the voting of the actual citizens who lived in those areas.
Yeah, I call bullshit.
Look at the official voting results going back to 2004.
Sample size of 1200?
And also during a time when the Ukraine government was in flux. There was a fear that fascists who hate all Russian speaking people would take over.
It's only 200 to 400 ft deep... I don't necessarily think that has to be a state level operation... Any billionaire could have easily funded that kind of thing.
That's actually not too small a sample size for a well conducted survey, and look at how many were conducted. It was repeated several times.
Not according to the Ukrainians I've spoken with. And I've discussed it with many.
Bullshit. There was no liberating needed. Nobody was under attack (aside from the corrupt government in Kyiv, you like so much to talk about). Untill Russia attacked the border, violating the Budapest memorandum.
