Do you know who used to own Crimea before Catherine the Great purchased it in 1783?
Do you know when America paid for “The Louisiana Purchase,” The Southwest, Alaska or Hawaii?
If the Crimea deal is off, does that mean we have to give back the above states?
Turkey is not demanding Crimea for itself but that Russia honor the transfer that they made to Ukraine in 1954 and recognized with Ukrainian independence in 1991. The proper analogy would be if Russia can claim back Crimea which it gave to Ukraine then it could claim back Alaska.
Travis, the U.S.S.R. came to an end.
These territories broke off. They were recognized by the
international community for upwards of 30 years. Russia
did not seek any remedy for that. It did not declare an
objection.
Further, wasn’t it a Conservative objective that all
people’s of the Soviet Union that wanted to, should
declare their independence and achieve it. I remember
heralding the freeing up of peoples at the end of the
U. S. S. R. It was supposed to be a good thing,
wasn’t it?
Has the United States ceased to exist, and Alaska and
Hawaii declared a declaration of independence that has
been recognized by the international community for thirty
years?
Where is that written?
Your argument makes no sense other than trying to be argumentative. Alaska was a treaty and purchase of land between two sovereign nations as was the Louisiana Purchase. The Gadsden Purchase bought the southern portions of Arizona and New Mexico from Mexico and transferred the land to the United States. Crimea was transferred by the Soviet government from Russia to Ukraine. That was a mistake but Russia made the dispute worse by invading in 2014. The use of force never ends well. Especially when one side is bent on conquest and intimidation. Get your history straight.
