Russia wants peace and friendship? Tell that to the people living in the Donbas region.
I hear they got very friendly with the people of Crimea, when they invaded.
And to the people of Georgia, when they invaded.
And to the people of Chechnya, when they invaded.
Ayy lmao, good memes my friend. The memes are coming in at a high rate this evening.
Crimea wasn't invaded muh man, there was a democratic referendum. Something that wasn't present in Kosovo when your dearly beloved United States and NATO decided to completely illegaly invade a foreign country with no approval from the United Nations whatsoever. Then our friends in Kosovo proceeded to declare independence WITHOUT a referendum. You claim that to be valid, whereas when Crimeans decide to hold a referendum and vote for reunion with Russia, that's hurr durr Russian annexation.
Georgia wasn't invaded, Georgian troops attacked Russian peacekeeping troops in Ossetia which forced a Russian response really.
Checnya was never invaded either, they were terrorists that were dealt with accordingly.

The BBC is constantly having arguments with the British government regardless of which party is in power. The relationship between them really isn't that cosy. When was the last time RT said anything even mildly embarrassing or critical of Putin?
For foreign events I think the BBC is as good as it gets. Has its natural biases when covering domestic UK politics and is as bad as CNN in that respect, but RT was clearly conceived as a propaganda outfit.
So now it's criteria that a news source HAS to criticize the country it's from in order to be perceived as unbiased? What if there aren't reasons for them to criticize Putin? Have you ever thought about that? Because he's never really done anything against the Russian interest. Oh and trust me, those who wish to criticize Putin do so freely. I know a lot of Russians were unhappy with the government's handling of the olympic scandal, and nobody's been killing or arresting them yet.
An assassination of Putin would be ideal for Ukraine and the west, as at the moment there's nobody as strong as Putin to lead the Russian government.
Yes, we wouldn't want any of those weak, capitalist, democrats running Russia would me?
Der Führer Vladmir keep Russia stronk backbone of cripple world.
Believe it or not, Russians actually elect him and he enjoys an approval rating western leaders only can dream of.
That's mainly because Western leaders don't control their media and can't have their opposition "dealt with". Not saying democracy in Russia has been a great thing thus far, but I can't remember the last time a Western country killed 20 million of its own people.
Huh, Putin doesn't control the media though, nor can he have his opposition "dealt with". (There's no need to anyways, they're all braindead.) There's no laws against independent newspapers or channels. If there was, anti-Russian papers such as The Moscow Times wouldn't be published. And where do you have those numbers from? Did you pull them out of your ass? When did Russia kill 20 million of it's own people?
Russia wants peace and friendship? Tell that to the people living in the Donbas.
Funnily enough those are the ones that wish to rejoin Russia and escape from these new western liberal democratic 'values' that the junta has come with.
So do they just not educate you about Stalin in Russia? As far as your concerned hes "Glorious leader who we must strive to be like"
Hm, never said that actually. And I don't care much for Stalin personally, in fact I don't like him.
