#1 Welcome to the Sudetenland. Europe has been on various rehab and suicide watches since it attempted to 'off' itself a hundred years ago. Getting the idea why your forefathers left or were thrown out ages ago?

#2 It's not as simple as that.

Here in Europe, yes we see Putin as dodgy, but we also see him standing up for russian speakers who elect him.
We also saw the EU remove an elected president and install a puppet, which Putin took advantage of.
It's also rather unclear that people in the areas annexed ACTUALLY want to be ukrainian rather than russian.

#7 So far the Ukrainian leadership has pretty much been laying in the middle of the street waiting for the bus to show up
