Oxiu, why the situation in Donbass and Kosovo is diffrent? Kosovo was a part of Jugoslavia and Serbia. But some muslim rebels in Kosovo disided to get away from Serbia. So did people of Crimea< Donbass and Lugansk. Why did they do it? Russia pushed them to do so? Isn't it rediculous sounds? How you can force people to go on war and die? For what? For Russia? But these people belonged to Ukraine like slaves. They didn't have any rights. So, is it hard to guess for what they have been fighting? Do not read the western media and try to be fare and keep your thoghts strait.
How they didn't have any rights? You heard that in media?
And no, it doesn't sound ridiculous. You remember the "green mans" that showed up in Ukraine, without any insignias on uniforms? If You believe it could be action of normal citizens, that decided to stand against their opressor - so they bought uniforms and military equipment in shops for enthusiasts, and they made organised actions to take the crimea - You must have really impressive imagination.
Unfortunately, Ukrainian army didn't exist back then. If they would, I think it wouldnt happen, and people wouldnt die.
Anyway, it was easy task for Russian special forces. Or even for regular forces.
Now it's not, now Russian army is tactically worse, and strategically... Not better at least.
Anyway - I support any desire of independence. But if it looks like terroristic acts against innocent lives, if it's oportunity for dogs of war to make place where they can fulfill their phantasies or illegal interests, I don't support it.
You can see good situation on Taiwan - it's island, with well organized instititions and order. They want be sovereign somehow. Are they influenced by United States? Yes, in some level. Are they supported by United States? Yes, because they are like unsinkable aircarrier for US.
Both are using each other.
Isn't it pragmatical? Who else could help Taiwan in their tries to be independent if not US? Noone. So of course You or someone else will be saying: "oooh, dogs that sold out themselves to US!". Okay, then You don't understand the most simple mechanics of the world and... Social interactions.
But are the american soldiers forcing Taiwanese people to sign some referendum with rifle over their head? No.
You are full of sick overproudment about Your country and You believe that You have right to do any horrible thing, just because You are the glorious nation and You are hurted by whole world, manipulated by US, because they are devil pulling all strings. Right?
If You would steal something, and people would catch You, You would explain Yourself with "hey, but one guy three centuries ago stolen a ring of my ancestors!".
