You might want to brush up on your history, mainly the part where the Ukraine has been part of Russian territory for most of the last 350 years, and while you're reading maybe you'll discover the reason Russia had to act with regards to Crimea.
Had to? No. Chose to.

And CIA under Obama administration killed Andrew Breitbart when he started talking about Podesta's closet ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgBvPx4CvhI ). But of course he died of a "heart attack" just like Russian journalists seem to do.
I suppose it is an accomplishment that hn is so mainstream as to attract pizzagate-grade trolls
But yeah, it was just a coincidence. Only powerful people in Russia and China kill journalists. In the US, they just die of accidents and natural causes.

Breitbart's Coroner conveniently died of arsenic poisoning after a few months too. Here is him singing a song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3urLA9Ca_vM But yeah, it was just a coincidence.

> What part of "Iraq is essential to the sovereign protection of the borders of the USA" do you .. not understand? What are you talking about? Iraq was not mentioned in the original comment. Also, this "The USA has invaded, and destroyed, far, far more territory, resulting in 100x more human suffering and misery." is grossly untrue. Neither country is free of fault here, but for every Afghanistan, or Iraq, there is a…
The point is, Russian military action in Ukraine was for the purpose of protecting its sovereign borders and access to the Black Sea. While I agree that it was a heinous action, it is more justifiable than any military action the USA has projected, if but for the simple fact that it was close to home - literally on Russias' doorstep. America, however, projects power around the globe - not for its own protection of so…
Without Crimea Russia won't have access to Black Sea? Or it will lose her borders?
Please clarify.

"Protecting its sovereign borders" by stealing from others' sovereign borders? Sorry, not buying it.
I don't agree that Russia should have done what it did to Ukraine, and its territories. No, sir. But I find the argument that "USA is not bad, because Russia did bad" to be highly specious. Russia, and the Russians in the region that was invaded, can justify its mis-deeds as protection of its sovereignty. America, and thus Americans, cannot. There were no Americans to protect in Iraq. In Afghanistan. In Syria, Yemen,…
And there was no Russians to protect in Crimea, so stop whitewashing Kremlin lies.

Long way to go to get up to the Clinton Body Count, famously debunked by Snopes. IIRC dead coroners are not a novel ingredient of such conspiracy theories.
Yes, because it's tried and true and works for them.

Ummm, Crimea has been majority ethnic Russian for over 100 years, Ukranians weren't even the dominant minority in the region for most of the last two centuries. You really should learn some history before commenting
And I completely deny that Russia has the right to speak for ethnic Russians of other nationalities, and to invade their countries on their behalf.
