You can always tell who the most ignorant libs are when they bring up Crimea lmao
Crimea is not Ukrainian, it has always been a distinct cultural ethnic region and 97% of Crimeans voting for independence from Kiev should give you pause before you breathlessly insist they should remain beholden to a bunch of nazi banderites
"Acktually sweaty, don't you know that if a vote has a higher than 80% yes vote, it's automatically a sham? Every vote needs to be really close or else it doesn't count and isn't real democracy. Consensus isn't democratic!"
the Russian federation is a reactionary bourgeois state that is a hollowed out shell of its former USSR self, but I dislike the hyperbole that it is "the Russian Empire". Russia Today is neither the Russian empire, nor the Soviet Union. If anything it is closer politically to what it would have been if the February revolution had continued and the October revolution never happened: A bourgeois state.

"Except for the Falklands, since it still counts when we do it"
Crimeans wanting independence means they wanted to become part of the Russian empire again?

Yes you dumb fuck, as a means of protection from the nazi captured Ukrainian army who would've otherwise bulldozed the small region
