Now following the pod and plan to give it a listen soon. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course the point in the video was to show what kind of bullshit it is to first attack region X of another country, then drive out everyone except for your own 'group', then ask them if they want region X to become part of your country. It's not even Russia to begin with, but Russia is (basically) holding a referendum there. It is beyond absurd in a situation that, thanks to Russia, is already beyond absurd to begin with.

Every government just want to legitimate its moves no matter how naive it seems for outsiders. Chinese will not recognize those parts as Russian territory anyway.

Yeah apparently except Putin´s regime only Syria reported possible acceptance of this masquerade, if true, than it will be 2 nations which can be actually called a plural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
