Always very annoying listening to dipshits for whom history began in 2022 lament on how Ukraine's sovereignty was violated and they should be allowed to align themselves without interference. Just as long as they don't align against the west in which case you perform a violent coup on the behalf of neo-nazis who begin campaigns of ethnic cleansing.

But that didn't happen doesn't matter.

There is no scenario where a country can unilaterally help themselves to the internationally recognized territory of another. That this simple truth is even in question to you entirely dismisses any point you are trying to make.

Russia has no claim in any way shape or form to any territory that is not currently internationally recognized as theirs, doesn't matter if the country was in the SU, Warsaw pact, russian imperial sphere, has russians living there, has russia feel "encroached upon", or any other imbecilic pretense apologists like to bring forward. It isn't theirs.

Usually when you post beneath a comment it's understood to be a reply to that comment, which doesn't seem to be the case here because you're completely talking around everything I said in the comment above.

Speaking of imbecilic though, what's your point at all? "You're not allowed to do the thing you did fait accompli because it's against the rules I made"

Baby brain.
