On Wednesday, the National Geographic Society announced that they would be altering the global map to include Crimea in the map of Russia after Crimea’s secession from Ukraine is legally finalized. On Tuesday, National Geographic editorial leadership, led by geographer Juan Jose Valdes, determined that maps used by the organization must show “the world as it is, not as people would like it to be…As you can only surmise, sometimes our maps are not received in a positive light by some individuals who want to see the world in a different light.”

If National Geographic were to show the world as it really is and not as what some people would like to think it is, the Crimea would be shown as a territory of the Ukraine under unlawful occupaton and administration by Russia. So, National Geographic chooses to publish a fraud.

Not the first time land has changed hands by force, and maps are ever-changing.
A big fuss over the invasion and usurpation is appropriate. Fussing because a map shows reality is not.

An emergency remapping! They couldn’t wait until the dust settled before they did the Prankster’s bidding.

The people of Crimea did vote to become part of Russia again. It is their wish.

I'm sure they painted Sudetenland into the Greater German Reich as well in 1938.

Had Saddam succeeded, Kuwait would no doubt have been re-mapped as a province of Iraq.
But Saddam failed. Putin succeeded because all that opposed him was hot air.

No they did not. A vote under the barrel of a gun is not a democratic process.

It is what it is. The vacuous leadership of the current Oval Office occupant, obsessed with forcing sodomy and increased debt on America, created an opportunity for the nationalistic ambitions of Putin.
