Hawk, your information is incorrect. According to RT Interesting, since all the photos I see of the Crimean ballot only show TWO choices.. bbc.com Not really that hard to verify if you google Crimean ballot images, but I guess you choose to believe RT.. google.com Btw, here's a pic of the 1938 Anschluss Plebiscite. So you can tell us again all about how Putin and Hitler have nothing in common. blog.foreignpolicy.com So MW, if you're going to rely upon Russian, STATE owned, propaganda machines, then I guess you might as well just follow your urges and move to Russia.. It seems to have all the qualities you're aspiring to.. As for Hawk, it's the election that counts. FREE, FAIR, and COMPETITIVE ELECTIONS are what count. Democratic Elections represent a marketplace of ideas.. Ask yourself.. WHO decided how that referendum ballot was going to be written? What kind of widespread participation was involved in determining the language used? We often find ourselves in agreement on many subjects.. But for you to try and assert that what took place in Crimea was free and fair democracy at work is just laughable.. If you are just having fun trying to play Devil's Advocate for Putin, I have a few other more important things to deal with.. But if you TRULY believe that RT is a credible source of information on Crimea or Ukraine, then we're just going to have to agree to disagree.. Hawk
