      Openly Nazi states should shrink, especially if the people who live in the affected regions already hold separatist beliefs

              The study "Thoughts and Views of the Population of Ukraine: December 2014" was commissioned by ZN.UA by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology on December 4-19, 2014. During the study, 3,035 interviews were conducted with adult residents of Ukraine living in 179 settlements in Ukraine.

              In Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts, the poll was conducte only in the territory controlled by the Ukrainian authorities The statistical sampling error does not exceed 1.8%

              :soviet-hmm:

              The level of support of independence of Ukraine has considerably increased, but it partly related to

              1. The lack of voters in Crimea
              1. With the problems in research in areas that are not controlled by Ukraine

              Hmmmm :soviet-hmm:

                  Polls are already pseudoscience, but pseudoscience plus bad methodology plus bias, yeah nah

                  Sorry but that poll doesn’t tell us anything about the real world

                      I’m not ignoring it, I’m dismissing it after they themselves admitted to building the poll on a terrible methodology, to say nothing of the latent bias, I also find it really interesting how these two major problems just disappears in your narrative where I somehow ignore your point out of hand

                      I read your source, detected the bias, learned what the methodology was and then made my judgement, you on the other hand took it on face value, is that how you usually approach data?

                      What the hell kind of materialism are you talking about?

                      And my sources are 8 years of watching live interviews with locals on the ground, poor data, but I don’t make scientific claims about the beliefs of mixed populations in a war zone, but it’s better than shitty polls by some Kiev think tank

      It's even more than that since those regions are higher populated than the western part of ukraine, but I didn't make a normative statement here I just said there's literally nothing from stopping Russia to get what they want since there's been a complete breakdown of diplomacy, the west had one thing going and that was the threat of sanctions but since they've pulled the trigger they have nothing left anymore and the Ukrainian government has demands like taking back the LPR and DNR and crimea, so again why should russia stop now and again this war is immoral I'm not saying that Russia should do that I say that they will do that because they probably feel like they can hold those regions and it benefits them because there's nothing stopping them from taking what benefits them most because that's what governments do.

          I don't know if I would call this a Suez Canal crisis moment, there aren't that many nations that are food, resource and energy self-sufficient, in addition to that Putin has a pretty tight control over the government as well as nukes how many other countries and leaders can say the same, I don't know if south american or african countries would look at this moment and say to themselves "We can go against the western hegemon", but more important who knows how even this conflict is going to shake out and what is going to happen immediately afterwards.

              But did the US dollar get attacked by this? The biggest threat to the US dollar hegemony was the euro and that one got crushed, so what do you have left, yen or the pound? I doubt China wants the renminbi to become a reserve currency given their status as the manufacturer of the world economy, and that still ignores the geographical reality of our world, there's a reason why something like the Monroe Doctrine it's because the hegemon is right there. And while the loss of economic warfare would impact the US it still has real warfare it can back up it's position with and has no problems using it.

              And that's where I am at, I don't think we know and can say "Oh this is the end of US hegemony, end of the dollar and rise of the multipolar world" could this conflict be looked at in history as a turning point in the world order? Maybe but it's incredibly hard to know history when we are living it.
