Russian troops in the streets, anyone who thinks this is a legitimate vote is crazy

As legitimate as the vote in Philadelphia, or any other urban area in this country.

Someone else the other day mentioned that it was the Soviet Union that lumped Crimea with the Ukraine Soviet Socialist Republic and I got looking in to it and they were right. It was Kruschev who actually did it (He actually was Ukrainian).

The Crimea has more Russians in it than Ukranians and they mix like oil and water.

I really do not seeing them uniting willfully and the Ukraine would be smart to allow this to happen for a price.
