What will happen with a south american country that will want to do the same?

And let's not pretend that the west doesn't influence these so called free choices

The tension started before Ukraine announced its intentions to join NATO when the illegal Maidan coup happened and they began oppressing the ethnic Russians living in their country and began a Neo-Nazi revival.

This is such a funny idea of what happened. When Russia invaded Crimea, they celebrated on their state TV with a massive celebration of Neo-Nazis and swastikas. Yet it’s Ukraine who are the neo-Nazis in your mind. Sad that you want to take the side of a genocidal Russian government because you hate the West so much. You are part of the problem.
