Correct, I cannot fathom these people for making excuses for what was an invasion in no uncertain terms into a sovereign state, let’s get this straight, Russia invaded Ukraine, no matter how they did it, there would be no deaths in the Donbas or Crimea without that invasion.
if Eire was to invade Nothern Ireland because some of the populace ( a minority ) wanted to be part of the EU , would you be happy to sit back and let it happen?
