    Funny that you should bring that up, because Eastern Ukraine is ethnically and linguistically Russian-dominated, just like Crimea. Self-determination for me but not for thee?

    Why does Western Ukraine get to dictate the sovereignty of Eastern Ukraine?

      As a Russian speaking Ukrainian from eastern Ukraine, a sincere fuck you is sent your way.

      Just because we were raised speaking russian doesn’t mean any of this shit is ok.

        We had this topic in our country as well as gadafi thought “ehh? In this country, they speak German French and Italian, so logically those parts of switzerland should belong to Italia, Germany, France.”

        But german speaking swiss people don’t want to belong to Germany, Italian speaking Swiss people don’t want to belong to Italy and French speaking swiss people don’t want to belong to France.

        It makes me sad and mad that there are so many people thinking in simple ways like this and think they are stable geniuses. Like, get yourself some culture, FFS.

        And yet your neighbours evidently disagree, given the extent from which the Donbas and Luhansk militias successfully recruited from the population.

        An anecdote does not disprove statistics.
