It's a done deal and there's nothing we can do about it.

Frankly, it should have been done in 1994, in exchange for Ukraine keeping their nukes.

But then we are talking about the inept Clinton administration here, who also broke up Yugoslavia.

[familyop]

No. It's not done, yet.

The solution to this is: (1) Finlandization, i.e., Ukraine as a border state will be neutral and not be split in half by Russia nor join NATO; and (2) Federalization, i.e., Ukraine gives some autonomy to its regions with respect for minorities and languages.

U.S. should not have supported violent overthrow of a freely-elected government. It was stupid. Elections were coming next year and this should have decided things.

Russia wants to avoid anti-Russian crazies from West Ukraine turning Crimea into a NATO base.

[Psalm 144]

Oh I am sure that there will be a pack baying to go to war over it, and fight to the last drop of someone else’s blood. It is a required reflex in the NWO.

Is Obama golfing today, or at a fund raiser.

[RoosterRedux]

This was a given from the get-go. Crimea has always been Russian-leaning.

But now Russia has lost influence among Ukrainians...because the most influential Russians in Ukraine were in Crimea.

now the ethnic cleansing starts

"We needed to save ourselves from those unprincipled clowns who have taken power in Kiev."

Well, I can relate to that.

[montag813]

Who cares? Russians belong in Russia. Yawn. Too bad Obama doesn’t take OUR borders as seriously as he does Ukraine’s.

They’re ringing the bells now ... they’ll be wringing their hands soon enough.

We fet what we pay for excusing linerals for fpevery thing.

There is plenty than can be done and should be done about it. It is time to help the Russian people to remove the criminal element in their government with an internal regime change and put Russia back on the road to a real democratic republic.

In 20 years, after we grant amnesty to all the illegal aliens, California will likely vote to secede from the US and join Mexico. This will be followed by Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.

Correct!

Just one more bite and Vlad will settle back for awhile.

He will very shortly make moves to take the grey area in this map.

[Revolting cat!]

One question that remains is how the Soros Obsessives and Alex Jones followers decide that their hero George Soros has been involved. I mean, we know that Soros directed the Maidan uprising, that has been established. Now, is he also behind this Crimea referendum or not?

[Revolting cat!]

Apologists for Russian imperialism like cockroaches here!

[Revolting cat!]

Here’s my political theory: when Americans can no longer tell freedom from slavery (such as in the case of the Maidan uprising against a post-Communist oligarchy), it is little wonder that they elect a Communist as their President and in face of that one’s obvious failures, elect another Communist as mayor of New York City.

[Revolting cat!]

Here's how it went:

It's a done deal and there's nothing we can do about it.

Spoken like a true Democrat circa 1946.
