It was literally the first Russian territory. The parts of Ukraine that Putin recognized as independent territories, literally formed a revolution against the Ukraine, because they felt more Russian than Ukranian, which makes sense because that portion of Ukraine is Russian speaking Russian people.
America literally wants to kvetch about Russia taking back a russian territory of russian speakers and russians. This is all about a port the want to deny Russia that literally has zero effect on the United STates despite being a minor strategic asset to Russia.
Here is why sanctions will be lifted. Europe is dependent on Russian oil, and they are literally unaffected by this Ukranian conflict and have no business in it.
I advise everyone to invest in bluechip crypto tokens immediately, because the crypto market has seen major losses due to an over reaction of Biden threatening to regulate it, and further false decline due to the russian effort to liberate the Ukraine. These sanctions will also force Russian billionaires to flood the crypto market with their money. We'll see bitcoin at 100k before end of year.
It should also be pointed out that Ukraine has a puppet government. It's literally a guy that used to play the president on a television show and they thought he played the part so well, they would artificially place him as the president. If you ever want to see if a government has a puppet leader, always look at acting credentials first, followed by the relationships the individual has to other governments.
Also if a government is 90% Jewish like the Ukranian one, but 00.2% of the population is Jews, it's pretty obvious what is going on as well. Putin literally only wanted the Russian speaking parts of Ukraine that wanted their independence, but I am glad the Ukranian government's reaction has made him consider liberating all of the Ukraine.
Think about this, if Ukraine was legitimately in the right here, why has the press been just making bite sized headlines with very little intellectual depth, instead of making deep arguments for why Ukraine should be supported?
