Man, there is some heavy semantic distortion happening in this subthread. To make sense of the NATO narrative:

"Western" = "Ukrainian"

"DNR/LNR" = "Russia"

"Threat" = "aggression"

Next, we will be "warmongering" = "peacemaking". Oh wait, this is already a thing. Along with "ignorance" = "strength".

DNR/LNR isn't in Russia though, it's Ukraine according to treaties Russia agreed to. Same thing with Crimea.

Next thing I know you're going to tell me Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia is a real, sovereign country and totally not just Russia invading a neighbor.

Not sure of you are agreeing with what I said above, or disagreeing. Can you re-read the thread carefully and clarify?

Well, I had to look this up on Wikipedia, but in a nutshell, that is roughly correct. To be precise, Abkhazia is a de facto independent state, and has been since the Georgian-Abkhaz war of 1992. Russia only recognised its independence in 2008, probably in response to Georgia's plans to join NATO.
