Yeah, I see that a lot lately on my facebook feed regarding Ukraine. Stubborn people saying "Russia never invaded Ukraine, the troops have always been stationed in the military base, and Crimea has always been Russian territory in the past". I keep telling my boyfriend arguing with them is useless but I guess he just can't resist.

Holy shit. People actually believe that?

By treaty the Russians were allowed to have something like 2500 troops stationed in Ukraine but that was under an entirely different understanding than what is going on right now.

Unfortunately yes :(

I guess Russia has had lots of time to fine-tune its propaganda techniques.
