Trump won because the Dem candidate was dogshit not because of Russians. Massive self own, lol
If the Russians could so easily pick their guy of choice to win the US elections they would do so every single time or wouldn't they. Not just in 2016. And not just in the US but everywhere.
Can't believe you parrot this nonsense
Clinton was dog shit, and so was Trump. None of this takes away from the fact that Russia promoted his campaign on social media.

Well they had plurality vote control over the one regime and the other was bombing them. During the abortive negotiations prior to the invasion the DPR/LPR definitely wanted to stay autonomous, though Crimea was already de facto annexed. Its just a choice they no longer had at that point, not just taken from them by Russia's little green men, the separatist regions wouldn't be able to withstand the western backed siege without them. They aren't the first conflict region to be in a tug of war between great powers like children squabbling over toys, and they had every reason to pick the side they aligned with and could protect them.
In 2013 when that survey was taken, no one was bombing Crimea. In 2014, Russia annexed.

March, 17th 1995 that's why. Kyev deprived Crimea of it's autonomy.
Then why were they being polled about their autonomy as if it existed in 2011 and 2013?
