Let me ask you something. Do you believe that Cuba has the same right to be a free and independent, sovereign country like you consider Ukraine to be, to have the right to decide which countries to have allegiances with, etc?
Just so it's clear, I am of the position that Russians are the terrorists here and Ukraine should demand Crimea, Russian withdrawal from the east, and reparations to be paid as a condition for the end of hostilities. If the Ukrainians are willing to go the distance that is.
Terrorists? Interesting. Why not sons of Satan? Russia clearly has a problem with Ukraine, similarly like the US had an issue with Iraq, it's just that you don't know what that issue is or made a decision to call it lies/Putin's propaganda.
