      Look. I get that you heard that word somewhere. But everything isn’t colonizing.

      Annexing would be a better description to what they’re doing.

            Russia circa 2024 disagrees because they wanted it to sound voluntary. News went with it because annex is technically correct in the close by/far away context, but not the whole colonialism is always by force context.
