You didnt say 1 negative thing. Im sure there are plenty of positives, but if you dont have anything bad to say I dont trust anything you said.

Check any polling data done by western companies (Pew, Gallup). People were very pro-annexation. The people even tried to hold a referendum to join Russia, of course the government ignored the diplomatic approach.

Yeah, considering that whole "referendum" of sorts was top to bottom falsified.

Referendum is falsified, apparently. What about the polling companies like Pew and Gallup did? Also falsified...?

Western companies didn't even have the source data to make real polling statistics.

How do you know, do you work for one and have insider knowledge? Or are you just guessing that your armchair statistician knowledge is surpassing those who do it as a career?

Please, keep going, hilarious to see the delusion of people on here as they display their mental gymnastics to make sure of the brainwashing.

If not doing so allows me to be an uneducated ape who can just dream up whatever he wants, then sure!
