The Republic of Crimea is considered to be accepted into Russia from Tuesday, March 18 — the date of signing the Agreement between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Crimea

"Considered to be accepted" is eerily similar to "deemed to be passed", the sleazy way that ObamaCare was forced on unwilling Americans. I wish liberals had the honesty to just say what they are doing:

"Russia is seizing the Crimea because the West is led by a bunch of sissies."

or

"Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are forcing ObamaCare on Americans because so many were dumb enough to vote a controlling block of known socialists into power, and this massive law will give the ruling class literal power of life and death over any little people who might otherwise oppose FedGov.

"Russia is seizing the Crimea because the West is led by a bunch of sissies."

Vladimir Putin will remain in history as "The man who won a war single-handed, without firing a shot"
