Not true, you dumb-ass. > [@](#): > > And that occurred before the Crimeans made their move to separate. Putin has thus far reacted to the violent mob that overthrew the head of state. He does not see a legitimately elected government where eastern Ukraine and Crimean formerly had a voice. Putin’s action were illegal, no matter what his motive. And you’re extremely naive (read: stupid) if you think Putin acted to save “Russian Speakers”. He wanted the Crimea and so he took it. > [@](#): > > Now you claim that Putin is driving Eastern Ukrainians away too. But they had no say in what went down in Kiev. And had Putin reacted by doing nothing at all it is doubtful that the mob would change its mind about Putin and getting close to him or his Russia. Eh. There is another election coming up shortly. We’ll see what that produces, you blithering idiot. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/notfooledbyw-you-colossal-clod/680975)._
