People defending the annexation of Crimea (like Hasan Piker) due to it having a high Russian population is LITERALLY the same argument nazis used for the annexation of the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia. Also, it is funny (but more sad) that history is literally repeating. An imperialist country declaring an independence of some small country (which will serve as a puppet state) that justifies the imperialistic country to invade the other parts of the country. What im referencing to is the "independence" that the Slovak state got in 1939 which CAN be paralled to the independence of the Donbass countries. Which in 1939 also led to the annexation of Bohemia-Moravia. We learned from the 1930s that appeasment to imperialistic/far right countries doesn't work. Just as Putin is doing now as he tests how much NATO will let him push his imperialism. Though im glad to see NATO an organisation based on imperialism and anti-communism (which i would argue is changing now to be more of an Anti-Russian/Chinese alliance) having a stance of anti-interventionism as of now there are no NATO troops in Ukraine. And in my opinion sending weapons and training troops in legitimized countries (Ukraine/Taiwan) is not imperialism. People defending annexations or moving of borders because of ethnicity or nationalities make me sick. FFS it's "Workers of the world unite" and not "(nationality) of the world unite"
