All the vote did today was reverse Nikita Khruschev’s 60 year old “gift” of Crimea to Ukraine.

Its the final codicil to the disappearance of the USSR - and Russia resumes its sovereignty over the peninsula - with the expressed consent of its inhabitants.

Ukrainian nationalists should be happy Crimea is no longer a means by which Russia can make Ukraine’s life miserable. They should look at the Crimean reversion to Russian rule as a blessing in disguise.

If true then it mostly hurt Ukraine’s feelings. But still. Will the Bear be happy with this? Has it shaken off that old USSR grumpiness?

“Ukrainian nationalists should be happy Crimea is no longer a means by which Russia can make Ukraine’s life miserable. They should look at the Crimean reversion to Russian rule as a blessing in disguise.”

So with Russian troops and armor on the Ukrainian border the next vote will be for the Ukraine east of the Dnieper to become part of Russia. Guess how that vote will go.
