How will Ukraine retaking Crimea devastate Russia?
Russia and Ukraine's conflict goes back decades before February 24, 2022. Russian aggressiveness has remained consistent since Vladimir Putin took office in the late 1990s. The current war, however, began with the unlawful annexation of Crimea in 2014. The insane aspect is that NATO and the rest of the world sat back and watched as Russian soldiers seized Crimea in a manner remarkably similar to how Nazi Germany grabbed Austria, Czechoslovakia, and the Rhineland before launching its assault of Poland and beginning World War II. 💣⚒⚙
