If this becomes legitimate, then no country is safe from this happening. In 10 years our entire Southwest will vote to return to Mexico, which might not be a bad thing if they take California with them:)
Yanukovych was elected by the vote of the people. An uprising in Kiev managed to throw him out of office for choosing to not join the EU.
Those in Crimea are being given a vote to say we don’t agree with the ousting of an elected official and we think the rest of you are nuts.
I see no harm in letting them vote.
Make sure they include Jerry Brown, John McShame and Jan Brewer in the deal. But don’t mess with Texas!
