>Putin's annexation of Crimea makes total sense.
Other than the fact that it was criminal, you mean.
>You have to remember the black sea fleet is based in Sevastopol.
That's a non-argument. The US has a similar situation with Cuba.
>That's one of Russia's most important locations geopolitically.
So Russia invaded a foreign nation for strategic military goals?
>When client state of Ukraine was overthrown in 2014,
Well first, Yanucovic said he was NOT overthrown:
bbc.com/news/world-europe-26386946
The people have an inherent right to reject bad rulers. Yanucovic had half a $billion in secret Swiss bank accounts in less than 3 years time.. Not bad for a dentist and public servant, but it appears the Ukrainian people were fully justified in suspecting their kleptocrat of extreme corruption.
>longterm Russian military influence was suddenly called into question.
The Russian army has a 40 year history of near-failure, but this one incident is your pivotal moment? Are you fucking kidding me?
>Imagine if Obama gave Hawaii independence in honor of enjoying vacation there with his wife,
That's the worst analogy ever. Hawaii is a US state. Obama can't give it "independence" even if he wanted to.
>Now rest of Ukraine, there is no real right or wrong.
Sure, everyone guilty of war crimes always says something similar to that.
>Russia doesn't want it to do well economically if it's not under their influence
That's the first true thing you've said.
> Would you invest money in a place you fully expect to fall apart and descend into violence?
Yes, we send money to Alabama and Georgia all the time.
>A proxy war waiting to re-escalate.
Thank you for proving that this is all really just Putin's propaganda scheme to fool the fucktarded TrumDumspters.
