Why tf do you guys have like seven different words for Russia?
James Garcia
The weak should fear the strong.

Russhits are hypocrites and liars, what else is new? The fact that Russia annexed Crimea when, officially, Russia and Ukraine were still allies is also very telling. It’s not the first time such an event took place either. Prague Spring is another one.
Josiah Thompson
Those creatures in the OP aren't human
Leo Reyes
Same reason why Kosovo secession is good while Crimean is bad, its hypocrisy.
Jose Adams
Chechnya attacked dagestan and were islamists or sth like that
Jaxson Perry
agreed

> confusing separatists with radical islam terrorists supported by the CIA and MI6
you are either a zoomer, VPN monkey or just a complete retard

Because Russia rapidly expanded and subjugated a lot of territory as an imperial power from the 15th century onwards, so a lot of the native inhabitants of those territories still see them resentfully as foreign overlords rather than being assimilated into the "Russian" identity. Ukraine is a particular sore spot because the Russians were halfway there along the process of successfully Russifying them, and then the past 100 years happened and it rolled back a huge amount of that progress. The west thinks this is great, the Russians are furious
Camden Perez
Russia supports things that benefit Russia and is against things that harm Russia.
Oh gosh, muh hypocrisy!

its the same conflict. chechnya were a glow op to further destabilize russia. euromaidan was a glow op to further destabilize russia. Russia's response has been the same in both cases because its the same conflict.

>Russifying
Ukraine was originally Russian heartland during the medieval period and the Russian kingdom. The period they were ruled by Poland-Lituania is also shorter than the length of time they were part of the Russian Empire. They were always more Russian than not even before any "Russification".

It's very simple Ivan.
>Russia: I want to take back and maintain control over former USSR lands and I'm gonna kill anyone who stands in my way
Luis Sullivan
Fine, then assimilating into the imperial Muscovite identity than the Kievan Rus / Ruthenian one
Jaxon Barnes
It's different though, bosnia had the constitutional right to secede. it just needed some western support in armaments in bombings. kosovo was just a shithole region of serbia proper without that right.
