I don’t disagree. I have no dog in the fight.
Just object to characterization of the borders in the area as being the equivalent of those in Western Europe and North America, where there are solid demographic, geographical and/or historical reasons why they are where they are. Eastern Europe, no such logical reasons apply.
I realize there are problems. The point is, Russia broke the law with it’s actions. There was no festering hot-bed of separatist demands in Crimea.
Russia wanted it because of it’s location on the Black Sea. It’s the same reason it wants southern Ukraine.
This is open aggression, nothing more.
Do you realize Mexico could waltz into the U. S., call special elections along the borders, then claim the vote showed the people in the U. S. wanted to be a part of Mexico? That’s what Russia did.
We should be very careful to buy into that sort of thing. It could easily be used against our nation too.
