The Tatars could be a dangerous element. Otherwise, perhaps Crimea would be better off on its own - the Ukrainian solution was always a bit forced and I never knew why the Russians did it. Maybe Kruschev hated the Crimea or something...although all the party bigs had their dachas there, didn’t they?

The Russians will no doubt set up a Crimean protectorate state under the eternal protection of Moscow.

It doesn’t take a genius to predict the outcome of the March 30 referendum in Crimea.

Sevastopol may be granted a special status in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea after its authorities are expanded, said the chairman of the Supreme Council of the Crimea Vladimir Konstantinov. At present Sevastopol is a city of national importance in the Ukraine.

Why would they give a city a special status?

Are they angling for a seperate state for themselves, and offering up Sevastopol to the Russians for the Russian"s to permanently have a port for the Russian military fleet.? - Tom

Sure looks that way. Sevastopol was a closed city back in Soviet times.

Today, they need foreign tourists. I expect Crimea again to become the summer playground of the Russian elite and Western tourists. Its a heartbreakingly beautiful place.

It’s all nuts. That’s why we need to keep Obama/Kerry/Soros/McCain/Rubio from getting us involved in this situation. Russia/Ukraine/Galicia need to work it out themselves.

I agree....but Obama is going to want to “play” kingpin to some degree...his ego demands it.

Ukraine will figure it out and you can bet the neighbor countries will have a say as well...not to mention Europe.

IMO it’s their’s to handle....but in the end Ukraine will remain divided I think...perhaps Chimea will go Russia or Independant...but unlikely as Putin knows the people there are in part why Ukraine hasn’t already gone Nato. They’re rather like his ace in the hole.

Okay, so now do the Ukrainian minority and the Tatars get to carve off a slice of Crimea too? They make up about 40% of the population.

Maybe they can move to Lviv? I’m sure the Tatars will be welcomed there.

Sorta like Texas became an independent state then joined the Union— I can see this happening in Criema.
