This is the equivalent of Texas leaving the United States. What do you think our the current admistration would do to the citizens of Texas if they were to try to leave the United States? I don't disagree with Ukraine being a sovereign nation but aren't we being a little hypocritical if we wouldn't be ok with states seceding from our country because they feel like their being used and not accurately represented. I see libs getting all worked up over this knowing that if their cash cow threatened to leave them they would take it back with force. For the record I am pro independent nation and FJB.

I'm okay with a state leaving but Mr. Lincoln might feel differently

It's just impossible to compare the history on any level.

It's apples to buttons

Imagine Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana seceding together and taking most of the O&G production with them?

What?

It's like if Texas left the US and the US granted it and then thirty years later just took it back by force.

Not at all.

This is like us telling Mexico, hey there is a portion of your country that doesn't want to be with you so we are coming to liberate it

Considering the entire USSR collapsed, this wasn’t a case of some random state saying “Peace, we outta here.”

The better comparison would be one massive US state, such as California, having lost control of the US 30 years ago and deciding now that they are going to invade former US states to pull it off.

How is it in any way similar? You need to quit typing and go do some reading.

Ukraine isn't being aggressive against the (alleged) separatists

That was easy. Next question

Man you have got to pay more attention to what is going on if you are going to start threads about it. Just pitiful.

Ukraine is not Russia and never was.

Are you fricking stupid? People like you posting here make me wonder why I waste my time reading any of this shite.

Ukraine is not a part of Russia. Ukraine is a sovereign nation and has been for 30 years.

Texas is a part of the United States, contributes to, pays into, and benefits from the United States, if leaving it would be leaving a mutual partnership.

How in the hell do you get to a point in your mind that those two things are comparable.

Can’t tell if Russian or moron.
Just so I’m sure of the rules, it’s completely cool if Turkey invades Israel and most of Eastern Europe, right? The ottomans held that land for centuries after all

You should read up on the history of that region. Those two nations have been rivals since the Middle Ages. A thousand or so years ago, Kyiv was the seat of the empire. There’s a much larger timeline here, long before the Soviet Union.

So no, Ukraine was not a state of Russia and this comparison doesn’t hold water.

And BTW, I hate this for Ukraine and am pulling for them…but still want the US to stay out of it, at least in an official/direct capacity.

Such a dumb comparison... These people finally break free from a coersive relationship and you are the one helping the crazed boyfriend with the gun chase down the girl and tell her it is best if she just goes back home...

What a sad frick you are.

Not really the same thing. Ukraine has a longer history of being independent than part of Russia/USSR.

No. This is the equivalent of Mexico invading Texas.
