          Generally I found it’s best to not argue with the “wisdom of the crowds” unless you really know the domain, and even then, with care.

          Sorry it doesn’t say what you want.

        The overthrow of a democratically elected president? That is what caused Eastern provinces to go into rebellion. Forcing those Eastern provinces to go back to being ruled by a pronato kyiv is impossible and will just lead to more fighting that will resolve nothing

              I’m sure if Russia wins, it will bring its conquered lands to highs of democracy the rest of Russia enjoys… and the citizens will absolutely notice the difference.
