@derekcraig3617 Chechnya was never a recognised sovereign country. Why shouldn't Russia restore order in one of its rebel regions? Georgia? But war in Georgia started when GEORGIAN troops attacked Russian peacekeepers. What does Romania have to do with anything here? Probably only God knows.

@derekcraig3617 do you know what peacekeepers are? Are UN peacekeepers in Africa or former Yugoslavia war crime perpetrators now?

@derekcraig3617 WHAT has happened in Bucha? Not a single independent investigation of the murders has been conducted yet, but you, sir, seem to "know" who's to blame, don't you?

@SirAser.F__k.you.Google I'll tell you when two people can't have an intelligent and educated debate. It's when one of them does not respond to the overall message of the other, but instead focuses on some unimportant details. So, you are trying to tell me Chechnya was NOT a rebellious region of Russia? What "sovereign countries" are you talking about? The Ukraine has only become a "sovereign country" in 1991.

@stupidyoutubehandles oh my... POROSHENKO making a 180-turn... You don't know anything about the region, do you? Yet you have the audacity to talk about it as if it was your backyard... Which Ukrainians in particular are you talking about, my good man? Do you even realise that the Ukraine is a Frankenstein monster made of several regions that are very different from each other, speak different languages and have different visions of both the future and the past?

@SirAser.F__k.you.Google and yet again you don't address my points, instead focusing on rhetorics. Was Chechnya not a rebel region of Russia? Was the Ukraine a country before 1991? Before you answer these questions, you will never understand the true nerve of the situation at hand. You narrative about Russians in Donbass and Southern Ukraine being "foreign migrants that don't respect their new country" is ludicrous, and you'd see it if you had minimal knowledge about the region's history.

@Katoshi_Takagumi democracy is not a sacred cow. In the Ukraine the opponents of the president do not end up dead, you said. Does it make it any less revolting that hundreds of opponents of the current russophobic nationalistic narrative ended up dead? From pro-Russian protesters in Odessa to a proponent of Russian-Ukrainian unity, Oles Buzina, any prominent anti-russophobic voices were either killed, or intimidated into silence, or forced to leave the country.

@SirAser.F__k.you.Google mate, you sound like you don't know your history of Russia at all. What the hell is "Ukrainian republic of Kiev", lol? Do you mean the Ukrainian People's Republic (UPR)? With their beautiful map showing Kuban, the Crimea and parts of Southern Russia as "their" territory? Surprise, surprise... This map shows the territory they CLAIMED, not the territory they actually controlled. They did control about 1/5 of the claimed territory in their best days. There's a Russian Civil war saying "In the carriage is the Directory (the government of UPR), under the carriage is their territory". Most of the time of their existence they hardly controlled areas around Kiev. Your mentioning "maps" is very telling, mate. Only people with poor knowledge of history refer to maps as a legitimate source of knowledge. Yep, it makes history look easy — why read something if you can just take a look at a map and find out which country (or "country") controlled which territory at a certain period of time. However, as was the case with the map of the UPR I mentioned above, maps can be misleading. Anyone can draw a map and show anything on it. It gets the more true the older a map is. Nothing beats reading academic sources on history. For example, three volumes of "The Cambridge History of Russia" is an outstanding source on Russian and Ukrainian history. What "Ruthenians" are you talking about? I never mentioned them. You must have confused me with somebody else.
