Wasn't it Russia that annexed Crimea? Wasn't it Russia that shot down MH17? Wasn't it Russia that invaded eastern Ukraine? Wasn't it Russia that is bombing UN Convoys and Hospitals in Syria? Wasn't it Russia that has openly invaded the Airspace of Baltic Countries?

Everything Johnathan Frances has written reeks of the Kremlin Propaganda Machine.
