Come on Vlad. I know I said I would be more flexible but my *** hurts.
Germany is already backtracking on Crimea.
NO...Moscow gave its clearest signal of its intentions with respect to the Crimea the day it move troops into the Crimea. From that day forward this outcome was inevitable.
We wake up and it’s 1983 again. But then we realize we have no Reagan as President. Scary.
Isn’t today Kerry’s deadline for them to get out?
Would this in any way be analogous to the United States annexing, say, Baja California, thus removing it from Mexican jurisdiction?
Warm water ports, jutting out on a peninsula....
That's irrelevant! [/sarc]
When will mexico force a referendum on parts of Texas, Kalifornia and Arizona and then break them off to be annexed?

What if:
California split into two States. And what if the southern state had a preponderance of Hispanics. And what if some event caused them to demand separation from the USA. And what if a referendum resulted in which they voted overwhelming to either separate from the USA as a nation, or become a state of Mexico.
Ditto, Arizona and New Mexico.
Sound far fetched?? Don’t discount it. We live in strange times.
So can we expect a vote next week in Chechnya on whether they wish to remain as part of Russia?
