Donald Trump has come under fire for his praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his ties to the country--and he suggested Sunday that he might recognize Russia's control of Crimea.
"You know, the people of Crimea, from what I've heard, would rather be with Russia than where they were," he said on ABC's "This Week." "And you have to look at that, also. Now, that was under -- just so you understand, that was done under Obama's administration. ... Crimea has been taken. Don't blame Donald Trump for that."
Trump made those comments just after saying Putin is "not going into Ukraine."
"Well, look, you know, I have my own ideas. He's not going into Ukraine, OK?" Trump said of Putin. "Just so you understand. He's not going to go into Ukraine, all right? You can mark it down and you can put it down, you can take it anywhere you want."

It went from one government to another under Obama. For purposes of Trump, Obama had already lost it.
I don’t care what the media says, Trump is a really nice and generous guy for allowing Russia to keep the Crimea instead of keeping it for himself.
The Neocons have been treasonous filth from day one.
This is a complete False Flag story.
No sane CIC is going to start WWIII trying to dislodge the now-well entrenched Russian forces in the Crimea.
The fault is Obama-Hillary’s who let them in without any meaningful resistance or aid to the Ukrainian forces in the first place.
It’s just like Guantanamo Bay. Obama will pull our forces out in mid-November, and Castro will simply walk in.
Who is going to invade Cuba to get one military base back?
Actions have consequences, and Obama’s anti-American agenda will have consequences for decades.... if America survives at all.
Hi.
“Ukrainians also killed thousands of Poles. No saints in that part of the world.”
And Jews.
Heck, the Crimea has changed hands in part or whole, what 15 times?
5.56mm
And some of those “hands” have owned it more than once.
5.56mm
I want Trump to win because:
1, He might take some steps to slow down the third world migration killing my homeland. Hillary is dedicated to speeding the influx.
2. He will appoint better judges than Hillary.
That said, Trump needs to shut up and stop saying stupid things.
Guess Ukraine should have kept their nukes: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum_on_Security_Assurances
Now they are just another domino. Nuclear non-proliferation is like 2nd Amendment repeal on a grand scale.
A world without Pax Americana will be brutish.
“that’s the first time there has been any notice”
Probably because most people are reluctant to call down upon their heads the opprobrium that follows such a remark.
I guess I only do it because I am convinced that the corruption of English is important. Not as important as the corruption of morals, perhaps, but still important.
Wasn’t the Crimea always Russian? Its occupied mostly by Russians, and good ole Krushchev feeling guilty for what happened to the Ukraine in the 30’s, and for their help during WW II, decided to give them the Crimea, without approval of the party? Basically Crimea is Russia. The geographical lines will have to be worked out between the Ukraine and Russia. Send Hillary there to straighten it out. ........... Hmmmmmmm? Never mind.
Putin was never going in to the Crimea.
He was rattling sabers so that when he didn’t go, the west could claim victory and Crimea is returned to Russia.
What has Obama done about it? Nothing.
What does the reporter who asked the stupid question think should be done?
Whatever gets ya through the night pal. You realize that the Nazi-Grammar family is your next door neighbor, right?
“and good ole Krushchev feeling guilty for what happened to the Ukraine in the 30’s, and for their help during WW II, decided to give them the Crimea, without approval of the party”
Khrushchev was half Russian and half Ukrainian. Hence his affinity for the Ukraine.
Also note that Khrushchev was the only Ukrainian premier of the USSR.
Precision in speech is an element of precision in thought.
Eats, shoots, and leaves.
And your opinion?
Eating shoots and leaves is a fine oriental diet.
Ciao’ baby.
People compare the Crimea to Sudetenland when the reality is the Ukraine has a Russian satellite it's entire exists. Russia already had a huge base there that's only become an issue because of a US support coup in the Ukraine pushed the country into the western satellite status. This is more of Obama’s aggression and the Russians trying to hang onto what they already had rather than Russian aggression. Same thing in Syria.
“Ukrainians also killed thousands of Poles. No saints in that part of the world.”
There has only been 1 sinless saint in the history of mankind. But Russian commies are the biggest threat to the mankind. Their minions — the Iranians — are threatening the southern half. Their allies — the Norkies and the Chicoms are threatening the eastern half.
