Thanks for the ping. Wonder how many will stay in Crimea. Tough situation for them.
Why?
the Crimeans have had 'tough situation' under the Ukraine.
THe Crimeans history is as Russians, They speak Russian, consider themselves Russian.
Ukraine was moving to put Ukraine AND Crimea under NATO and the EU.
The Crimeans petitioned Russia to protect them and let them again be made part of Russia.
Did Putin 'invade' or 'occupy' Crimea, or, at Crimea's request, enter the country and align the troops along the Ukraine border to protect the Crimeans, giving them time to have their LEGAL Referendum?
Question: If Putin had 'invaded' Crimea as an enemy, why was there not one shot fired? Why did he position his troops up along the Ukraine border?
Why does everyone still dutifully swallow whatever the politicians and their lap dog media spout? Is there no independent thinking or research - or knowledge of history anymore?
And why is our dear leader so adamant against this and so protective of Ukraine? Could it be connected with Turkey's call to all muslims to come to the aid of their Brothers (the Muslim Brotherhood) in the Ukraine?
Putin fights AGAINST these jihardists. Our dear leader fights for them.
Our media covers for dear leader.
Our Sheeple swallow the hogwash.
