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

Ha Ha!

Guess the Demos and NWO types couldn't practice voter fraud - but then it's still early and millions of "lost" ballots could still be found, in the back of cars, stuck inside in voting machines, in Lenin's tomb...

It’s a done deal and our leaders should stop trying to get us in a war. I’m sick of the Cold War rhetoric already. If I was a Russian in the Crimea region, I wouldn’t want to live under the Kiev regime.

Oh well.....their country, their business.

And if they regret it later?....oh, well....their country, their business.

This is discouraging. And no doubt facilitated by a lack of leadership in the West.

What does the West care about furthering? Homosexuality, Climate Paranoia, Anti-Christianity, Islam, Gun Grabbing.

The West is currently very #’d up.

I think that no one should be forced to remain in a union they no longer want to be a part of.

Scotland is also voting to break from the UK

We conservatives should support all these movements so that if and when the time comes for the red states to split from the socialist ones, we can point to these other recent precedents.

Wednesday, March 18th, Putin will announce to his Parliament that the people of Crimea, under duress and after being abused by the rest of Ukraine invited Russia to help, and then voted to become a part of Russia and that it is imperative for the Russian assembly to vote equally unanimously to annex Crimea according to their wishes. Then a vote will follow that does exactly that.

It will not matter to Putin or those Russian elected officials what Barack Obama or John Kerry say about it or drone on regarding it. Those two have done NOTHING to stop or deter a man like Putin. He understands one thing...force.

The only question now is whether the will be satisfied with just the one Province of the Ukraine.

Potential things the US could have done (or still could do):

1. Immediately begin sending C-17s into Kiev with military supplies, military advisors, military trainers, humanitarian supplies, and small security detachments to protect the same. Make it a river of C-17s, and ensure those aircraft are escorted into and out of Kiev and other major cities in the Ukraine at the invite of the Ukraine.

2. Immediately release all restrictions on the exploration, extraction, and production of natural gas and oil, and restrictions on its import to Europe. Sadly, this should have been done (and was in the process of being done) in 2008 as Bush left office...but Obama turned it all off. It will now take 3-5 years to be in a position to address Europe’s needs, but starting the process will send the message and impact the Ruble.

3. Take whatever financial means necessary to isolate the Ruble as a world currency.

Europe will never join with us in number 3, until they are sure we are serious about number 2. Putin will never believe we are truly serious about number 2, until we do something like number 1.

But Obama and Kerry will never do one and two and will try and start with number 3 which the Europeans will not join in with because of the issues associated with number 2. Putin has already figured this out, and so has acted with impunity.
