(62,325 posts)I doubt will have much effect on them. I expect our government will eventually respect their choice, and Europe too as that is the only option other than invading Crimea as we did Iraq, and trying to force them to remain part of Ukraine. That would most likely start WW111.
I suggest you start reading the news around the world. 20% of Crimeans did not vote, expressing their disagreement by their refusal to vote.
All signs are showing that the will of the Crimean people will eventually be respected and Europe and the US will negotiate on issues that are still unresolved, rather than start WW111. Fortunately Bush/Cheney are no longer in charge.
Why you think it is anyone's business other than the people there, and why you are in such denial of the FACTS, that a majority of Crimeans ARE Russian, and that the new unelected Government in Kiev are the real reason they lost Crimea, who feared they would invade Crimea, feared their rhetoric against Jews and Russians so much that they decided to take action before that could happen.
Iow, the new unelected Govt in Kiev drove Crimea out of Ukraine.
Even 'bomb-bomb-bomb-bomb-bomb Iran' McCain is backing off his Right Wing warmongering rhetoric now that there is no question of the will of the Crimean people.
This is none of our business. Why you think it is your business is beyond me.
Too bad the Ukrainian people have not had an election so we can see how THEY feel about the unelected government in Kiev.
Why are they afraid to have an election?
The Guardian is reporting that the people of Crimea are jubilant. the Guardian acknowledges that it's hard to question the majority supported the choice to leave Ukraine.
