“Crimera has been part of Russia longer than Texas has been part of the United States. Kruschev, a Ukraneian, gave it back to Ukraine in the 50’s”

You are a fount of disinformation.

(1) Crimea, not “Crimera”

(2) The Crimea has been a part of the Ottoman Empire/Turkey longer than the existence of the Russian Empire. So, by your reasoning possession of the Crimea, a Tatar name by the way, should revert to Turkey under the still operative treaty the Ottoman Empire the right to reclaim the Crimea from Russia under the current circumstances.

(3) Kruschev was a Russian and not a Ukrainian. It was Kruschev’s wife who was a Ukrainian.

(4) Kruschev did not “give” the Crimea to the Ukrainian SSR, but he did transfer the Crimea to the Ukrainian SSR for a variety of reasons, including the exchange of the Crimea in part as reparations for the millions of Ukrainians murdered by the Russians and the theft and despoiling of Ukrainian properties and rights under Communist law.

A distinction without a difference.

Kruschev was a Russian and not a Ukrainian.

He was born 3 k from Ukraine, and Ukraine was his adopted country. He was an ethnic Russian from a town that is now part of Russia, but he rose through the ranks of the Ukrainian communist party and led Ukraine as head of the the Communist party.

So, by your reasoning possession of the Crimea, a Tatar name by the way, should revert to Turkey under the still operative treaty the Ottoman Empire the right to reclaim the Crimea from Russia under the current circumstances.

So by you reasoning we should give Texas back to Mexico, or Spain and give Alaska back to Russia. I stated a fact, something you seem unable to grasp.
