Russia indeed does have ties to pro-Russian, anti-Banderite groups in Crimea. It’s why they voted to join Russia instead of getting ethnically cleansed by Kiev. You’re ignoring evidence of ethnic cleansing and believing it justified because of your racism against Russians, and are selectively plugging your ears when the Banderites commit crimes against humanity against ethnic Russians.
This is on top of your now rather boring homophobia that you can’t keep yourself from.
You keep making wierd sexual remarks about heads of state, be it Trump or Putin. Casual homophobia, though not nearly as extreme as your racism, I’ll admit.
No, you’re using gay people as a punchline to fight people you don’t like. As a pansexual man, seeing people like you defend their homophobia because your target is homophobic is not unusual but absolutely perpetuates homophobia.
You’re using queerness as a hammer to insult homophobes, which just throws gay people under the bus. Your smug condescension towards me being pan and telling you you’re being homophobic is yet another example of your very traditional, very unearned Euronationalist chauvanism. You’re like a colonial era race scientist, I wouldn’t be surprised if you pulled out calipers next.
So you’re defending ethnic cleansing as a “measured response,” like a “final solution,” would you say? Excellent, you keep outing yourself as a fascist more and more. I was wrong, I admit, I thought you were ignoring the evidence of ethnic cleansing instead of supporting the ethnic cleansing.
Which treaty are you specifically referring to, here? Ukraine had been a hotbed of far-right Banderite influence before they committed the Maidan massacre and couped the state in 2014, and that wasn’t because of Russian influence.
The Budapest Memorandum was explicitly stated to not be legally binding. It wasn’t guarantees, but assurances, and the US broke these assurances first:
“Although the Memorandum is not legally binding, we take these political commitments seriously and do not believe any U.S. sanctions, whether imposed because of human rights or non-proliferation concerns, are inconsistent with our commitments to Belarus under the Memorandum or undermine them. Rather, sanctions are aimed at securing the human rights of Belarusians and combating the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and other illicit activities, not at gaining any advantage for the United States”.
This was the reasoning given for sanctioning Belarus in 2013. The west backing the far-right Banderite coup in 2014 was an even greater violation of Ukrainian sovereignty. Ukraine also did not give up “its” nukes, but returned the soviet nukes Moscow had stationed there prior to the dissolution of the USSR that were a part of the multi-national nature of the soviet union.
The Budapest Memorandum was neither binding nor respected by the west to begin with.

Ukraine broke the treaties, and the Banderites couped the state and started ethnically cleansing Russians. It’s ethnic cleansing, full stop.
