Ukraine has been back and forth as Russian/non-Russian for a few hundred years. It was independent prior to Stalin taking it over (he wanted the wheat). Stalin's take over saw tens of thousands of Russians forcibly moved to the Ukraine, and many Ukrainians starved or worse. It was UGLY. After 1990, Ukraine again became independent, but still had many of Russian ethnic heritage there. Hence the current problem. Many of those ethnic Russians live in the areas that Putin is trying to annex, but also, many ethnic Ukrainians live there too. Russia has used the Crimea as a navy base for decades, so a bunch of navy dependents live in the surrounding Crimean areas. Russia wants to keep the navy base. If it loses that, it loses a port with access to the Mediterranean. Russia has no other port to the Med.throbster wrote: ↑Oct 4th, '22, 08:56My limited understanding is that most of the population of Crimea is loyal to Russia.XtremeJibber2001 wrote: ↑Oct 4th, '22, 08:29If you replaced Ukraine with USA and Crimea with the Northeastern USA, would you take the deal?

Since some of the northeast was loyal to Britain at the time of the Revolutionary War, you would have been in favor of surrendering parts of the northeast to Britain?throbster wrote: ↑Oct 4th, '22, 13:53Your comparison is ridiculous so why would I answer it?XtremeJibber2001 wrote: ↑Oct 4th, '22, 10:49So that's a yes?throbster wrote: ↑Oct 4th, '22, 08:56My limited understanding is that most of the population of Crimea is loyal to Russia.XtremeJibber2001 wrote: ↑Oct 4th, '22, 08:29If you replaced Ukraine with USA and Crimea with the Northeastern USA, would you take the deal?

Crimea is a separate case but still illegally annexed by Russia in 2014(?). The rest of Ukraine is Ukraine, regardless of whether ethnic Russians live there. Saying otherwise is equivalent to Hitler's annexation of Austria in 1938.

I was just trying to give background and not justify any one of thing about it as Throbster seemed to not know much about Ukraine's history.
I DO agree with your statement, by the way. I am hoping if Putin tries to launch a nuke, his military takes good care of him, if you know what I mean.
