So then, if Tucson in southern AZ wants to be part of Mexico, we should let them go? That is precisely the can of worms that Russia has opened. For example, what if Chechnya vote to secede? Or any number of federal subjects of Russia? The problem is that's the kind of can of worms Russia would love opening. Putin has no problem brutally putting down any kind of secession efforts in a current Russian province.........see Chechnya. Russia may not like the fact that Krushchev gave Crimea back to Russia but as recently as 1994, Russia affirmed that Crimea belonged to the Ukraine. I get very nervous when a leader decides the rule of law doesn't apply to him not only in his own country but in other countries as well. And that's the statement Putin is making.
