A Russian newspaper claims to have an official government strategy document outlining the invasion of Ukraine that was prepared weeks before the Ukrainian government collapsed last year.
The editor of Novaya Gazeta, Dmitri Muratov, reported the document during an interview with Echo of Moscow, a radio station. In the interview, which was reported by news outlets Saturday, he did not reveal how the newspaper came into possession of the document in the media unfriendly Russian world, but said he had confidence it was authentic.

Yes, I too would love to see Russia invade more countries. We can really rack up a good death count, make Stalin proud.

Russia/Crimea = 0 deaths 0 casualties, no shots fired.
US/middle east = ? Estimated to be up in the hundreds of thousands, that's just the deaths.
I would take Russia "invading" any day over America "freeing" a country.

So as long as people do not die it's ok for the US to invade and annex any country they like?

No I was commenting on your "racking up the death toll" nonsense but don't let that get in the way of your bs.
I thought they do that anyway? Drone strikes on pakistan , invasion of Iraq / Afghanistan, airstrikes on Syria, the whole Libya fiasco etc etc They might not outright annex them but they are trying to control them.
Here's a question for you, is it ok for the US to kill hundreds of thousands because it thinks the country needs "freedom"?

Yes because the "revolution" was definitely backed by the west. Nobody ever looks at how Russia may well have destabilised Ukraine in order to intervene in Ukraine.
I really don't think Putin would be above that but it doesn't seem to matter anyway, what's happened has happened.
