The United States recognize a non-democratically-elected president and government in Ukraine, issued from a coup d'état, but won't recognize a referendum of self-determination organized in an autonomous republic with a legitimate parliment, government and Constitution.

What, are you a Paulista? So how's a non-democratically-elected government in Crimea, which is already illegally occupied by Comrade Ivan and his Kalishnikov, who are renown for stealing the vote in Moscow, a "referendum of self-determination organized in an autonomous republic"?

By the way, Crimea isn't actually all Russian. There's a sizable Tatar community who've been on the land long before even the Russians owned it. I'd like to see if, under normal circumstances, Crimea would really vote to join Comrade Putin's nazi government.

In Crimea, a referendum on sovereignty from Ukraine is scheduled for March 16.

In Scotland, a referendum on sovereignty from Britain that was initiated by the Scottish National Party is scheduled for September 18.

In Catalonia, a referendum on sovereignty from Spain is due to be held November 9.

That’s the way people want to go.
WHO are you to tell them what to do?
