Quite a lot of Crimeans have been to Crimea. <You keep going on about Crimea. Have you ever been there? I have. More than once. Have friends in Alushta and Yalta. Russia carving up Ukraine is not all wine and roses. My ex wife is from Lugansk and her parents there are suffering from the ongoing conflict.> I have never been to nearly everywhere. But there's an amazing ability people have these days to gain information about places to which one has never been. So, for example, if I was to visit Aleppo, I guess I'd find that there would be some problems there. I have never been to Fukushima either but I have some knowledge about what happened there. That seems like a threat miraje << If a lot of the ethnic Russians in Ukraine want to rejoin mother Russia, so be it. It is what it is. But you make your bed, you lie in it..>> You will attack them for daring to decide to do something you dislike. After all, you have been there and some of your best friends are Crimeans. If the Scots vote for independence from England, and vote to join the EU, they would lie in that bed too. That's what voting does - it has consequences. So far, Trump seems to have a lot of sense. Appointing T-Rex suggests he's happy that Crimea be Russian and that Ukraine stop with the civil war. You know, Aleppo, "Oh woe, they are killing their own people" and all that. Same applies in Mosul but that's a different story for some reason. I have never been to Mosul either but for some reason I seem to have some information about it. Mqurice
