Right on cue, just the way he and Putin rehearsed it.

Russia has been known as the “Prison of Nations” since Tsarist times. You don’t think many of those ethnic groups within Russia don’t long for a nation of their own or unification with an existing national state? They’re just good at imperialism.

Crimea:

1. Autonomous republic within Ukraine
2. Transferred from Russia in 1954
3. Ethnic Russians - 58.5%
4. Ethnic Ukrainians - 24.4%
5. Crimean Tatars - 12.1%

Source: Ukraine census 2001

So, what would be wrong with returning Crimea to Russia and letting the rest of Ukraine remain independent?

So, what would be wrong with returning Crimea to Russia (like it was until 1954) and letting the rest of Ukraine remain independent?

A Ukrainian might argue, reasonably, what would be wrong with returning California to Mexico and allowing the other 49 states to remain in the USA?
