Ukraine became a sovereign nation two decades ago, what's so hard to understand about that? Russia should have nothing to say about how Ukraine governs itself. When Ukraine became an independent country the Russians living in Ukraine should have emigrated to Russia if they didn't want to live in an independent Ukraine.
Putin is a ridiculous dinosaur living in the past and wants a return of The Cold War when Russians were under the impression that they were the equals of the United States. Europeans continue to live in the past, always at the ready to re-ignite hostilities with each other that began literally hundreds of years ago in many cases.
Somebody above mentioned a similar scenario that could have happened in Texas - no it couldn't, that shit doesn't happen in the New World. It didn't happen in Quebec in Canada and it won't happen in Texas. We don't have 1000 years of baggage behind us, only a couple of hundred. People left Europe for better lives here and to get away from precisely this type of endless bullshit.
