It's literally been called the Occupied Crimea since the occupation. It's called occupied because it got occupied. Which is exactly the words I used, occupied and invaded.
The entire west calls it occupied, which is also what I said.
The nations that do not call it occupied are Russia, Belarus, China, Serbia, Iran, North Korea. Am I missing any?
Interesting though who was President in 2014 ?
Then Russia waited until 2020's when ol Trumpy was gone to follow through with the actual invasion .
They primed for Invasion when Obama was in office then they actually invaded when Biden came in , Waiting for that weak leadership
Nothing to argue there. It was Obama when Crimea was INVADED.
Ukraine has not received any aid before that occupation and invasion.
We just all wasted a good amount of time to circle back to exactly the same thing I said originally.
Ukraine has not received any aid before that occupation and invasion.
The Bush administration gave the least amount of aid to Ukraine, compared (so far) with the Trump administration and the Obama administration. During President George W. Bush’s eight years in office, from 2001 through 2008, the U.S. government provided about $1.1 billion to Ukraine, government figures reveal.
Congress almost doubled the amount of aid provided to Ukraine during President Barack Obama’s eight years in the White House, supplying $2.1 billion.

Russias annexation of Crimea is 2014.
had to correct this just a tad. the west refers to it as russia's illegal annexation of Crimea
I mean, if you wish to argue semantics with me instead of accepting my ceded ground, fine.
What I want to call it is a 100% clusterfluff resulting from politicians, lies, money laundering and failed policy.

It seems Putin has lost his mind (some more). Gas masks ,, dogs , fire extinguishers , and car washes are his solution to a nuclear war.
Chilling footage even shows schoolchildren being taught how to correctly don gas masks.
Sirens and loudspeakers were sounded in all regions across Russia’s 11 time zones in drills that spawned two days.
It was Russia's first nationwide civil defence exercise as Putin indoctrinates his people about the danger of the West triggering nuclear war.
A message sounded declaring: "Attention everyone," as a bone chilling alarm bellowed out in cities and towns everywhere.
Emergency services gathered in hazmat suits to carry out protocol as part of Mad Vlad's sick exercise.
One group ran from a building with a dummy body on a stretcher accompanied by a pack of dogs.
Heavily armored and spiked doors also appeared to close off an underground bunker holding officials and Russian police.
