Colonialists use that excuse, I’m very aware, the difference is that they’re lying when they say it.

Yes, also a defense of colonialism. "The others are lying, but it's true in our case." Which is, by the way, not an excuse to annex a sovereign nation and make it part of yours. That literally makes it a colony.

And we have no idea if the Estonian vote was valid or not, no. I hope it was.

No, it doesn't. You just don't understand colonialism. Without exploitation of labor and resources from an imperial core, there's no colonialism. Please, read a book.

"The others are lying, but it's true in our case."

Im not talking about opinion, I'm talking about data. Look at any of the metrics I've already provided you, comparing the data between republics in the USSR, and look at data comparing colonial India with the UK. If you refuse to acknowledge empirical evidence that's not my fault. Not all political systems are identical as proven by data.

Sure, I'll read a book. How about the dictionary?

Sounds like a colony to me.
