> Look at the annexation of Crimea for example. Was it an annexation or not? For us (people of the West) it seems quite clear but ask people from Russia and a lot of them will tell you another story. Perhaps a far aside: Annexation is a quite defined term, specifically: "the addition of an area or region to a country". Word definitions can change over time, but right now this is what it means. It's not necessarily a charged word either. This was an annexation, regardless if you believe it was just or not. And on the latter discussion, I'm much more interested in what people in Crimea think than Russians or us in the West.
