“I can speak to Crimea with personal experience. It was justified, and the people there supported it. Full stop. “

The entire international community, less China/NK has said it was a violation of international law, and it did not meet recognized Ukrainian election procedures.

I guess we could allow the Hispanics to vote themselves part of Mexico in SanDiego and other SWest states.

No. It’s illegal and not recognized by anybody.

The fact of the matter is that it is no one’s business but the countries involved. Ukraine tried to pull a fast one (with US encouragement) and they bit it. Too bad. They didn’t deserve to have Crimea (it is astounding how bad the infrastructure, etc. was before Russia took over).

Read the UN court ruling on Kosovo.

It recognized the right of people to self-determination as supreme, where the national legislation doesn’t apply.

Why shouldn’t it apply to Crimea?

Not to mention that Ukraine doesn’t want it and Donbas back, because it will change the electoral map and not into the ruling regime’s favor.
