As to Crimea; To start - Russians make up 58% of the population and Ukrainians 24%. Maybe it should belong to Russia? It was independent - sort of - before Ukraine decided it was theirs and they'd take it. It is a place of Russian military bases - and just like we would protect our military installations, it shouldn't come as any kind of surprise that Russia would protect theirs. This is no place, surrounded by countries on the edge of calamity, for us to enter a slippery slope on. Crimea is 58% Russian because Russian deported 300K Crimean natives out of Crimea and then moved in lots of Russians. Even so, 58% is not an overwhelming majority. And the Ukraine did not take Crimea. It was returned to them by an Russian premier back in the 1950s. But let's apply your standards to the US. New Mexico is expected to have a Latino majority some time during this decade. Should NM be annexed to Mexico when that majority figure is breached?
