The argument that in the past Crimea was not populated by an overwhelming Russian majority does not hold water in today's world. For example, Kosovo was the cradle of Serbian civilization and was once overwhelmingly Serb, but many of the Serbs there over the centuries were displaced by a majority of Albanians (who sided with the occupying Ottoman Turks). That did not deter NATO and the US from forcibly removing Kosovo from Serbia's control and making it an independent country. From the former Yugoslavia, to Catalonia in Spain, to Scotland in the UK, it seems that, at least in Europe, if a particular region is viable as a state and the majority of its population wants to secede, it is allowed to do so via a referendum of its citizens or even forcibly by outside intervention, as in Serbia. Moldova should not be different, if Ukraine eventually becomes a functioning democracy. China fully comprehends this principle and is busily making the Han a majority in all of its outlying provinces via migration. By the time China democratizes (if ever) there will be no Tibet or any other issue.
