I feel their is no reason to oppose Crimea returning to Russian sovereignty . Especially if it is fair and equitale to those who don’t want and choose to leave. Help them to relocate , give them fair value for their property . This could become a new standard for compassionate and mindful partition ; which could and should happen in many other places in this world.
It’s not that simple. Stalin Russified the Crimea. Deported the natives and imported Russians. The process is called Russification.
There are 185 ethnicities in Russia. None of them are allowed to do what is happening in Crimea. The whole thing is a charade to legitimize Russian rule. Are the Volga Tartars free to break away from Russia? How about a vote for them also? How about Latvia? 30% ethnic Russian. Putin free to grab them also?
Just focusing on Ukraine .... There is nothing anyone can do , or probably should do . I vote no confidence in our present commander and chief , a band of idiots and cowards , set on gutting our military , culling out the true warriors and doing nothing other than advancing the agendas of pervs and reparation hounds .
Leave it alone , not our fight . Elect a different leader and start over . Obama has f-ed America and the world’s perception of us in general . No wonder Putin is laughing at Obama the dunce .
