Not literally learn from Soros directly, but copy from afar. The way Putin also copies neoconservative military actions.

Again: We Don’t have to choose between the two (Soros and Putin) - they’re both working against the best interests of the United States.

The Crimea thing is more complicated than “invasion/occupation” I agree with that. But it is not also the innocent referendum on self-determination the Russian govt. claim it is. And Crimea’s long history with regard to ethnic-makeup/identity is LOT more complicated than the “majority Russian” statistic of post-Soviet times. Its history goes back centuries! And some groups there, like the Tatars have been there for ages!

For the time being anyway, Crimeans of every descent: Russian, Ukrainian, Tatar (those who haven’t left) identify primarily as “Crimean” than with either Russia or Ukraine.

What’s the number of Tatars in Crimea? There are less of them than Mexicans in California.
If you think they are a defining factor then the Mexicans and not the Americans must decide where California and the rest of Southwest goes.
Both ideas are actually laughable.

You’re really stretching things a lot. And totally pretending a lot of stuff doesn’t exist.

Crimea’s history now....it’s gone and no amount of complaining is going to return it to Ukraine..Not going to happen.... The only people keeping that ‘story’ alive otherwise are those using it for political leverage well knowing it’s gone.. period.

Furthermore identity has nothing to do with the land mass....which is what this is really about.....the Tatars were deported and sent away in 1944 and they will always try and reclaim Crimea as their’s....it will never happen either. They’re muslim and they carry the same old age claims on land the rest do to this day...it’s they’re nature.
