Russia annexed ukraine, so it's too late tore claim it. If they wanted to keep it they should have just kept it

...You do realize it wasn't all of Ukraine, right? Just that little peninsula at the bottom?

@Dervish: Nope.Still think Russia was wrong in invading. Still think the referendum was illegal.Crimea was part of Ukraine. It doesn't matter if it's only been a few decades, of if half of its citizens were ethnic Russians. Crimea was, at that point in time, rightly Ukrainian.

Crimea is heavily ethnic Russian, seeing as it was given to Ukraine in the early 1950s by Khrushchev when the USSR was having its hay day. [B]While I don't exactly agree with Russia invading [I]another nation's sovereign territory[/I][/B] and setting up a speedy and probably fixed referendum

I'm not saying I agree with what Russia's doing and I dislike their government something fierce

Juuuuust in case you missed it, 'cause you seem to think I don't recognize that Russia's invading another country and claiming a portion of its sovereign territory as its own.
