Russia moved to take Crimea only after the Ukranian govt was couped by the USA, because there's a Russian naval base on the Crimean peninsula

being surprised by this is like saying the USA wouldn't invade South Korea (or any of the 100s of states with US bases) if their govt was couped by another government

as always, you're more patient than I, comrade, I respect you immensely

Yep, when it comes to Russia liberals start thinking about their actions, past, present, and future, in terms of how evil they are, rather than as another country. It's always too weak yet too strong, always capable of steering foreign elections and taking on all of Europe but also about to collapse, etc. It's tiring, because after the dust settles the liberal cope will always be that NATO didn't support Ukraine enough for them to win, which will always be an unfalsifiable hypothesis.

And thanks, I appreciate it comrade!
