You blow hot and cold out of the same mouth. It's OK for Russia to Take Crimea and eastern Ukraine because it's the people's will; but it's NOT OK for NATO to accept the Ukrainian people's choice to join NATO. Crimea voted to join Russia because Stalin deported all the ethnic Crimeans to central Asia and replaced them with loyal Russian citizens. The same thing happened with eastern Ukraine. Would you support Texas or California or New Mexico secession to Mexico on the basis of a local referendum? Of course, no thoughtful person would, although it might solve some problems.

I haven't been indoctrinated. I have fought all the idiotic indoctrination from religion and politics all my life. I am an educated and savvy person, not one of those Trump-loving mindless sheep.

All human tragedy boils down to a single personality and his/her hubris. Your belief that personalities don't matter is indefensible.
