Putin was always going to make this move. He’s not going to allow anything to endanger his naval port on the Black Sea. The population of the Crimea is mostly ethnically Russian, speak Russian and want to stay with Russia. I have no problem with it. As for the rest of the Ukraine they are Ukrainian and they mostly speak Ukrainian. They are Catholics in leaue with Rome and they hate the Russians.
So Putin will end up with the Crimea or at least nominal control over Crimea and the rest of Ukrainia will align with the EU.
Too bad we have a commie stooge in the Whitehouse becuase this would be a great time to put the missile defense sheild in Poland and Chechoslovakia. I don’t worry that much about Russia but I do worry about Iran.
It’s like Hitler taking back the Rhineland, back then who really could have argued against it?
But of course, Hitler didn’t stop there.
