Calling it 'all about Donbas' reframes the narrative around there being a debate as to which country the Donbas should belong to, rather than the reality of Putin being irredentist in wanting to annex and russify the former territory of the USSR in Eastern Europe.

Marco, the war in Ukraine is really about your boss being a fucking traitor and Russian asset, like about half of your compatriots in the administration, and probably you.

So the largest country in the world just has to have territory in a smaller neighboring country and is willing to commit atrocities, kidnap children, murder innocent civilians and destabilize global trade and economies just to get their hands on a tiny territory. For what?

What a shitty excuse to Putin's utter failure of a "special military operation". Fuck Marco Rubio and fuck Putin.

Incoming trump narrative: the donbas is really part of russia anyway.
