Wait what? So if people of a region that is internationally recognized as part of another country declare that they want to be part of another country, you are okay with that?
Then how is Donbass and Crimea doing the same is not okay?
Why is it "rightfully theirs" in case of Ukraine, but not "rightfully theirs" in case of China? What the fuck?
The Donbass and Crimea are currently occupied by Russia, there's never been any Ukrainian held election allowing for the secession of this territory. These regions are not self governing entities that can make this determination. With all due respect, you seem a bit dull, so I'll just leave it at that.
so, there's been Chinese election allowing for the secession of this territory?
the hypocrisy is mind-blowing :)
