    Yeah he probably doesn’t know that Crimea wanted to secede prior to the invasion and that Euromaidan only increased that desire. Either he doesn’t know or he does know and calculated that trying to convince liberals Crimea wanted what the Russians actually did would be virtually impossible and conceded on that

      He has talked about that early on. Now he will only say “I support the Ukrainian right to defend their territorial integrity” and moves the chatters along to a different topic. He started saying that right around the time Reddit, Meta, Twitter, YouTube, and Twitch were doing bans for “promoting hate” or “spreading disinformation” on accounts that were anti Ukraine or pro Russia. Suspect he got a strong warning from his Twitch rep.
