"you keep neglecting to mention"

But I did mention. [0]

"how obscenely ridiculous it is"

No more obscenely ridiculous than saying that the US exists for 200 years. Ever heard of Native Americans who inhabited the North America?

Crimea was conquered by Russia, not by the Ukraine which didn't even exists as a state at that time, and Russia was busy building cities there and in all of Novorossiya.

"not so peaceful"

Why would it be peaceful? Crimean Khanate was raiding Russia and capturing slaves for centuries. Didn't end well for them.

"Except"

I didn't say it's equivalent, just an example of a treaty outliving its utility for one of the parties.

I did mention.

But you keep talking around it.

You still can't bring yourself to say who these people were. Or what happened to their descendants.
