Why hasn’t Putin already invaded the Ukraine and rolled into Kiev? Why isn’t he already standing in the square in Kiev with a shot of vodka and surveying his new territory?
Putin doesn’t have to. Half the country is pro-Moscow Russian. Putin can call out his goons in Kharkiv and Donetsk and throw Ukraine into chaos any time he wants. In fact, Putin wants a destabilized Ukraine while he solidifies his Crimean games.
Sad to say your historical review of Crimea is naive. You seem unaware of the mass deportations, ethnic cleansings and murders in the former USSR. History shows nothing good happens when Russians are on the march. Where they go, misery follows.
Like I said to someone else. “How upset are you that S Ossetia is with Russia now and Georgia is still Georgia?
Thats how upset you will be if Crimea goes with Russia and the Ukraine is still the Ukraine.
