    The stance of “you didn’t care about X, so you’re not allowed to care about Y” is pretty fucking dumb.

    The illegal annexation of Crimea is inherently different.

    • Russia had good propaganda and muddied the waters by arguing that the majority of the population wanted this.
    • Ukraine did not stand a chance against the invading forces. The whole attack was finished in a month. The chances of retaking Crimea at that point were next to zero.

    That was 8 years ago and the situation has changed dramatically.

    The Crimea annexation was much less violent. But I guess that’s because NATO and Ukraine just let it happen instead of sending everyone to the slaughterhouse for huge hog hunter
