Crimea was a “ gift” from Russia to Ukraine 50 years ago
i do not think the Russian speaking people ever voted to become Ukrainian
Given that UKraine has cut off all services to Crimea ( including electric power which is now being provided by Russia) and given that the last popular referendum was a 97% vote to rejoin Russia ( so ok. Run it again under UN monitoring) we are looking at another stupid neocon red line and fruitless US policy
UKraine which is now battling another 1/:3 of its residents who speak Russian and who do not want to join the EU can’t even take care of its own citizens without western aid garnered by the “”threat “ from Russia most of which goes to corrupt politicians and arms dealers
Nope, this is a sound move by Trump. We convinced Ukraine to give up its nukes in exchange for our defending its sovereignty. Then Barry let Russia swipe a chunk of it.
Would we support Italy or Germany claiming a chunk of Switzerland because of the language spoken in it?
This is Trump restoring global trust in the word of the US.
