The Crimea was part of Russia until 1954. I don’t get why people can’t secede from any country if that is what they want. Why should Ukraine be able to use force to keep that miserable country intact?
You’re changing the location. You said Eastern Ukraine, which was what I was replying to, and now your saying Crimea. They are not the same thing.
Texas was part of Mexico until 1836. I’ve heard many a Mexican say, that California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Southern Colorado and Texas all belong to them, and they will take it all back. Except for Texas, all these states belonged to Mexico until 1846.
If we fight to prevent them taking over HERE, would you say “Why should the United States be able to use force to keep that miserable country intact?”
You do understand what I’m saying, don’t you? We can disagree on the Ukraine being a “good” country versus Russia, but the same arguments could be made about the dissolution of our own Republic.
Now, that is just plain ignorant.
