Guessing a strong silent majority are on Putin’s side when it comes to Crimea.
That means 11,450,000 Muscovites didn’t rally against Crimea intervention.
The demonstartions are a good thing. It shows that Russia is a democracy and people can express themselves. I do not think this group is a majority of Russian People. The vote will happen, Criema will join the Russian Federation, and there will be a peace. OR the Ukranians will fight—try to take back Criema and start a war—Unlikely but possible if they think the US and EU will send help to them. We will just go to the UN—pour some good Vodka down the drain and watch as the Ukrainians get put out on the Meat hooks. It will be like Georgia four years ago. Next week is critical.
