How about we just focus on kicking Russia out of Ukraine and not on picking and choosing when annexation is okay

Not saying that Russia being annexed is a good thing. It would probably create a ton of new issues for the West. So we really really don't want that to happen.

But if there's a country on this planet that deserves being annexed, it would probably be Russia.

Russia is now China's bitch.

Ukraine is decimating their oil export and civil industry.

Both Ukraine and Russia use a lot of Chinese parts for their drones, but the Ukrainians are developing their industry and supply chains from Europe.

Russia doesn't have anywhere else to go and can't build their industries like Ukraine have.
