Crimea did not have a referendum, really, at least, not a real one. At least 30 to 40 percent could have been depended upon to vote against it, but results were in the 90s in favor. There were photos of children voting, pre-filled in ballots, and, of course, the whole process was overseen by Russian forces. I'll also remind people that the Crimean "Prime Minister" was member of a fringe Russian unity party with only 3 members, who became Prime Minister by walking into the Crimean Rada and declaring himself so, and making it very persuasive with the men behind him holding grenade launchers. We cannot consider what happened in Crimea to be in any way legitimate, and it is likely that, if Russia invades the eastern half of Ukraine, we will see a similar "referendum," but only after everything is under their control.

Speaking of Russian forces, one of the Russian Spetznaz goons, posing as a "concerned citizen" in Crimea, appears to be operating now in Sloviansk.

That weapon, by the way, is also a RU Sniper Rifle, apparently limited production from 2006.

Mene mene Russkie, the writing is on the wall.

Those Spetznaz boys get around.

The same thing happened in West Virginia during the “Civil War”. If it was legitimate for the ‘union’ it must be for Russia.

That said I have no pretense about there not having been a fair election. I was just saying if there were it would be the only legitimate way to decide Crimea’s fate.
