Crimea was a major supporter of the elected Ukrainian President. He was driven out in a coup so democracy ceased to exist for the Crimean people. How did our founding fathers feel about not having a vote?
Very sad that we’re back to the 1950s in geopolitics. We’re sliding rapidly back towards the 1930s too.
As for “elected”, that’s a cheap term these days, which is even sadder. After all, people like Mohammed Morsi in Egypt were themselves elected.
