Are the "Oldest Pyramids of the world" that were found in Crimea, the real reason for the War?

Yes! Putin only took Crimea because of the alien pyramids.

Yes! I don't believe that the pyramids were made by aliens, but I do believe that Russia took Crimea because of the incredible cultural treasures hidden inside them.

Maxlam, just a point about Corsica
It was not laughable that anything but a Frenchman was possible on the island.
It had undergone a nationalist republic revolution when under Genonese control under a man named Paoli who would fight the French for years on Corsica and abroad, he himself an ardent Coriscan nationalist.
Napoleon himself was throughout his adolescence and early career an ardent Corsican nationalist who wrote many papers on the subject of Corsican freedom from French tyranny

As you may have noticed, I'm speaking about France nowadays, not about what people thought 200 years ago before the French Revolution and the French Empire. However you are right to talk about that, because this isn't trivial that a young Corsican nationalist became a French Emperor.

Lol, so if we speaking about France separatist movement - independent Corsica is laughable, independent Breton makes no sence, but for Ukraine case - everyone here can have the right to self-determination and what now happen is ok. Fair enough :)

Why should there be a WW3 if Russia would invade a neutral country while America did the same around a hundred times since the end of WW2?

It won't happen - Russia is too far away and do not bothers about, so it willn't sent their 'green polite men' to provide fair and democratic referendum with acceptable results :P

Do you seriously need someone to explain this to you? What is your obsession with Russia anyway? It seems like your motivation for supporting Russia doesn't extend much further beyond some teenage "Ohaahh putin iz cool + vodka" fantasy.

I don't need an explanation. I just wanted to set the focus on the circumstance that America would be "allowed" to start a nuclear war if Russia fucks things up while the opposite isn't true and it wasn't; even with the Soviet Union.
My "obsession" with Russia originates from the fact that I like Vladimir Putin's way to make politics and much more importantly I don't want war with the Russians; because I like Russia, I like my country and I don't see a reason to destroy these countries.

Anybody who wants this war is insane.

He's a German teenager. It's just natural instinct for them to adore and follow a dictator.

I got a book about six men and one woman (all Dutch) who joined the SS and fought on the Eastern front. Quite an interesting read.

Exactly, because comparing Brittany to the Eastern regions of Ukraine is also laughable. For example there is only 35 000 people who speak Breton everyday, for a total population of about 4.5 million if we also include Loire-Atlantique (Nantes). And I have never met one in my life.

In Ukraine however, Russian is a wide-spreak language:



According to the 2001 Census, there was 3 regions of former Ukraine in which Ukrainian wsn't the native language of a clear majority of the population.



In Brittany, French is the native language of more than 90% of the population. And it's a good a French, not a dialect. If there had been only 10% of native speakers of the national language, as in Crimea, then Brittany would have had a strong reason to demand independance. But that's not the case.

Lol not bad.

MaxLam, do you suddenly need to speak another language in order to have a claim? That would kinda ironic since French was enforced upon minorities (Oppression), just like Russian was forced upon the people of the Soviet union.

I very much doubt it. They served only on the Eastern front and there were no French forces in the Netherlands anyway.
