I think I have been quite clear and consistent in all such matters. I have always maintained that I believe people should have the right choose for themselves. If they feel that they are really Russians trapped inside Ukrainian bodies, or Yankees trapped inside Canadians, etc., then let them be Russians and Americans respectively. Is that not the liberal order of the day, to allow people to self identify? What the hell skin is it off our backs if Albertans prefer to be Americans? Ought we to beat them into submission if they think they would be better off under a different flag?
It would be like the people of the UK choosing Brexit in a nation wide referendum, and then the revolving door government of the day ignoring the will of the people by signing agreements that effectively wipes out what the people chose.
And yet that is consistently what the west does. We claim to be democracies, and yet whenever the peoples vote yields a result that our masters do not like, they use whatever means necessary to cancel the results. Why should I kill or die to protect and coddle such lunacy?
