I love how idiots believe that a parlaiment of public officials surrounded by gunmen will publicly vote free of intimidation, but that the Crimea election was invalid because there were Russian troops present.

Here’s a little history: In 1991, Crimea voted to join Ukraine in departing Russia on the pretext that it would be wholly autonomous. In 1992, Ukraine unilaterally suspended that autonomy. In 1996, Crimea voted 86%-13% to be citizens of Russia. The Ukrainian president nullified the results, ousted the Crimean president, suspended the Crimean legislature and declared autocratic rule over Crimea.

LOL, you may want to note that Russian troops are foreign troops.

But it is nice to see that you respect the Russian troop history of putting down the Hungarian and Czech revolts to throw off the bar of Russian oppression.

And their history of free loving presence in EGermany, Poland and other nations.

Why...their reputation precedes them.
