He liberated Crimea in 2014 after the Nazis took power. The Crimean people welcomed and wanted to be part of Russia.
LOL
Sure. Just like when the US flooded Tejas with Americans and then the US helped liberate Texas from Mexico. Liberation through imperialism is not real liberation. Don't be so naive.

And if that's not enough, here's another. These are American publications.
Where did you get your information from mr not naive?
Same went for "Texans." When you displace the local population and move in your people, you tend to get pretty high approval ratings.
What population was displaced in Crimea leading up to the Russian invasion in 2014?
Leading up to? Cherry picking a small time period is not a good look. Decades of Russification and displacing Crimean Tatars (and straight up starving them) damn near eliminated them from the peninsula for years. In 1989 Crimean Tatars made up 1.6% of the population compared with a third 50 years prior. After a couple decades with Ukraine, about 11% of the peninsula are Tatars now.
It is true that Stalin genocided the Tatars.
