Did rt.com inform you that the same treaty required Russia to keep those troops on base and to avoid interfering with Ukraine's sovereignty in Crimea?

No, it didn't!

So , congrats on getting played for a sucker because you believe everything you read on rt.com and refuse to apply critical thinking.

Turns out you got Foxified--tricked into believing you knew the truth when everyone who tunes out rt.com knew better than you.

Bad things happen when you listen to agents of bigotry. Apparently you need to learn that.
