Dumb remark, Catherine the great established their bases there. The Charge of the light brigade was British in the mid 1800s fighting Russians, one of the great siege battles of WWII was Nazis at Sevastopol in Crimea.
There is no way the Ruskis are going to let Sevastopol become a NATO navy base at the hands of the Kiev putsch.
Everyone is acting like they seized Nova Scotia. Cruz is brighter than this.
Cruz gets it. The retards still depicting the Ukrainians as Nazis who conducted a "putsch" are traitors and know-nothings.
I'm not confident about Ted Cruz in foreign affairs. Historically, asking Russia to give up Crimea doesn't make sense if the goal really is to negotiate a settlement in Ukraine.
Is he latching onto this issue to avoid saying everyone who entered the US illegally this summer should be given a one-way ticket home...no exceptions. How about a bold move like the US should set up a DMZ militarizing and securing 10 miles of Northern Mexico?
Ted Cruz hasn't spoken out about abolishing the Federal Reserve, either....another mistake? I'm not 100% in the Ted Cruz camp anymore.
