Putin Invokes Soviet Heroes Lenin, Stalin, Says Russia 'Created' Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin justified backing the separatist regions in conflict with Ukraine Monday in a speech containing claims that former Russian leaders Joseph Stalin and Vladimir Lenin wrongfully gave Ukraine the land.

In his speech, Putin announced Russia would recognize the independence of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic. The Russian president's announcement comes after years of fighting in the Donbas region and while it'll stoke fierce criticism from the west, Putin argued the area rightfully belongs to Russia.

A lot of those people who are saying Putin is not a communist. Well he certainly loves to give the commies credit.

“Let's start with the fact that modern Ukraine was entirely created by Russia, more precisely, by the Bolshevik, communist Russia. This process began almost immediately after the 1917 revolution," Putin said on Monday.

They all need to wake the *#%! Up!! Stop supporting this American hating nut job. But then again, maybe those neoconfederates love communism too.
