less than ideal? the vote was completely made up.

why would the 48% of crimea that is tatar and ukrianian want to be with russia? how do more people than live in crimea vote in an election? when do 97% of people agree on anything ever?

you aren't actually this dense.

you have no way of knowing that.

three years ago almost 80% of crimean residents polled said ukraine, not russia, was their true homeland.

i highly doubt, given a fair election, crimea would have voted to join russia. great autonomy, maybe, but not to join russia.

just perusing the internet and reading blogs and comments on the topic, the number of people who view the crimean vote as not only legitimate, but that putin is MORALLY right in his actions, is astounding.

the libtards think the vote was real and putin is right and america is a hypocrite so we shouldn't even be sanctioning them. the contards think putin is da man and obama should be more like him (invade more countries i guess?) while simultaneously saying russia was wrong.

we're a nation of even bigger idiots than i thought.

Uhh no, we are just past the point where we blindly follow whatever the "national" policy is.

1. Putin is right. The Crimea is Russian. Hell, I'm pretty sure if several eastern regions were given the same referendum as Crimea, they would be a part of Russia also.

2. Crimea should have been part of Russia from the get go. No reason to double down on this mistake.

3. Say whatever you want, this still doesn't compare to the Iraq war.

4. While I disagree with his policies, Putin is a f**k leader. We don't have a leader, we have a president. It's refreshing to watch a bold, efficient leader with a vision ruthlessly carry it out for his nation.

5. I think Putin is truly in this for Russia. I think he truly wants Russia to be great. I can't say the same for most of this nations leaders.

I have to say I admire vlad. He is a master of realpolitik and has bested every challenger that has come his way. Barring a Russian implosion on his watch, I think he is the first and only great leader of the new millennium so far.
