Crimea is “independent” of Russia??
Like how Miss Piggy’s movements and speaking are “independent” of Frank Oz?

Yep.

Like how the US refused to recognize the 1991 referendum for independence from Serbia passed by the muslim majority Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina?

Oh wait.....

The US not only recognized the referendum but sent military forces to fight with NATO on the side of the separatist muslims.

Yes, US democrats love to spread democracy and independence - unless the vote goes against their wishes.
