Don't believe the Putin bots on here who ridiculously claim Crimea was not illegally annexed.

I agree, and to anyone who's parents arent orangutans this has been clear for years.

For instance, Russian military was actively fighting on the frontlines, geotagging their location (while also masking who they were employed by):

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/03/bloggers-social-media-russian-soldiers-fighting-in-ukraine

Furthermore, there exists hundreds of hours of on site reporting just in English, for instance by Emmy winning journalist Simon Ostrovsky reports for Vice. Ostrovsky was subsequently arrested by pro-russian peace loving separatists and beaten for days until finally released, his arrest also captured on tape.

Did you actually read that garbage or did you just search for headlines that support your nonsense beliefs? Hilariously bad articles lol

On what grounds did you disagree with the articles? (I also find it fantastical that you claim to have watched the tens if not hundreds of hours of footage in that playlist, showing on the grounds reporting that got Emmy nominated, in half an hour, but i digress)

Here is the same Emmy winning (and multiple times nominated) journalist following up on the claim that there were Russian forces on the frontlines that could not have come from Crimea, finding that Russian military personel from the border of central asia were driven into the conflict. This proof comes after Putin states, and I quote: "Let me give it to you straight and to the point. There are no Russian troops in Ukraine."

I asked you a pretty straightforward question, I'll try again: On what grounds did you disagree with the articles?

I don't watch youtube, but is anyone here actually denying Russia's help in Crimea uprising?

Oh, so it wasn't two rhetorical questions? In that case: I've read both of the articles and if you believe that they are nonsense then I would like you to explain on what grounds you disagree with them?

Its difficult for me to believe that anyone would dispute on the ground footage from Emmy winning journalists, literally showing how you can find the information all on your own, but apparently you believe you can do that? 10 years after the fact? Go ahead.

Some people in this thread will gladly argue that there was no Russian interference. As I quoted earlier in the thread, Putin quite literally said that there were 0 boots on the ground in Ukraine by Russia at first, something that got so heavily disputed and laughed at by every single serious journalistic outlet that the argument is now that Russians were there but not in a military capacity (something the metadata and investigative journalism I linked to shows without question).

video, specifically, I think is very telling.

Niger announced over the weekend that it is suspending military cooperation with the United States, in a significant blow to the Pentagon's presence in West Africa

American officials are now worried about the major drone base only recently built at a cost of $110 million called Air Base 201, which was crucial for Pentagon drone surveillance operations over the region. Likely it will now have to be shuttered.

During the meetings, Phee raised Washington’s alarm with officials in Niger about an agreement with Iran, according to officials in the U.S. and Niger, who described the meetings as very tense. Phee also criticized the lack of progress in returning Niger to an elected government and raised U.S. concerns about the imminent arrival of Russian military trainers and equipment.

With Russia moving in (and especially mercenaries like Wagner fighters), is the US about to hastily be forced out?

Doesn't Niger supply Frances uranium?
