See, now you’re at least arguing for the morality of the war rather than pointing fingers at everyone else.
You were the first to talk about morality, I personally do not consider “morality” as some kind of weight in an argument. For me, this means nothing, and you won’t be able to push the complaints in the spirit of “well, this is not morally right”
Okay, when the USA attacks other countries killing residents, journalists, etc. And directly admitting that killing civilians is “Collateral Damage”
This is morally wrong, okay…
Who are the judges? who will judge? Is there a world moral court that will condemn? How do you imagine this?
Crimea by the way, was formally given to Ukraine by Russia,
Yes, there was an agreement on friendship and alliance that established borders since the time of Yeltsin, but there are rumors that Kravchuk, during the signing of the Belovezhskaya agreements, asked “what to do with Crimea?” and Yeltsin replied: “Well, where will he go?” so they left him.
Despite the fact that they left him with Sevastopol, which even by law did not belong to the Ukrainian USSR, the city of Sevastopol was of all-Union significance, it was like Moscow and St. Petersburg, it should have remained part of the RSFSR, but no one cared, no one respected any laws))
The only thing they agreed on was the Black Sea Fleet on the territory of Sevastopol, and then the Ukrainians began shouting that “No! This is all ours and we won’t give it to anyone!”
Then there was a dispute between Ukraine and Russia territorially over the island of Tuzla between the Kercher Peninsula and Taman, which is also Ukrainian, although it was never part of the Crimean region of the USSR
Well, in the end, they decided to replay the game a little, despite the fact that, indeed, with all the agreements on the temporary recognition of borders between Russia and Ukraine, border demarcation was not carried out, it was not officially established, legally it was recognized but not completely.
and before that it was populated by Tatars before Russia started genociding them.
Tatar genocide? How did the United States carry out the genocide of Indians? or how do you imagine it? I don’t understand.
The vast majority of people who speak Russian have always lived on the territory of Crimea, who identify themselves according to all criteria as Russians. At that time, 11% Ukrainians 14% Crimean Tatars
However, I have no doubt that having seen the real prospect of joining Russia, especially after the events in Kyiv, yes, the overwhelming majority in Crimea were in favor of joining Russia so that what ultimately happened there would not happen.
Were all Crimean Tatars subjected to genocide? But for some reason, until 2014, there was no registered Majlis of the Krzm-Tatar people in Ukraine, which acted there on behalf of all Crimean Tatars.
Even now, he has not fully completed the registration procedure, even in Ukraine itself, because they are afraid that they will very much demand at least the south of the Kherson region for themselves for national cultural and territorial autonomy.
But at the same time, in Russia they are harshly punished and those people whom they helped from the Hisbut Tahrir organization, which helped Chechen militants and fought on their side in the 90s, oh, how bad Russia is?) destroyed all the Crimean Tatars.
In Ukraine there were no laws on the rehabilitation of the Crimean Tatars, for example, but in 2014, as soon as Crimea became Russian, the law on the rehabilitation of the peoples who were expelled in Soviet times was immediately introduced.
Several politicians from the Majlis who at first generally wanted to cooperate and interact with the Russian government, even Linur Islyamov who collaborated with the Russian government, but when he did not receive the necessary privileges, abruptly retrained as a Ukrainian Crimean Tatar nationalist)) lol what?
So it goes.
Crimea is not legal or ancestral Russian land.
A strong statement, but will there be arguments? Crimea is the territory of the Russian Empire and the USSR and then Russia.
And now Crimea is officially Russian territory, and you don’t have enough counterarguments to challenge this.
