Yep, Crimea is gone. We knew that from the beginning - just knowing the two players, Obama and Putin!

The Crimea was Putin’s original goal. All his blabber about Ukraine was to distract the West. Putin then grabbed the Crimea and pretended he “backed down” over Ukraine, allowing the cowards like Obama to claim they forced Putin to back down.

The real question now is “what next?” I have “Estonia” in the pool (not the rest of Ukraine).

All Obama’s horses and all Obama’s men couldn’t put the genie back in the bottle again... Or something like that.

The process of reunification continues in Russia, and nothing the US or EU can do will stop it.

Just as soon as their five-star hotels are ready.

I would get a good laugh if one day soon, a Russian Sub appears off of Brighton Beach, New York City to rescue those Ethnic Russians. What would Obama do? What would NATO do?

There are only about 30,000 ethnic Russians in Finland out of a population of more than 5 million, so the excuse Putin used to justify the annexation of Crimea (to protect his fellow Russians) won’t work.
