Yes, as I said, Crimea originally voted to stay with Ukraine, and it was happy to be there because Ukraine had a pro-Russia government. When that government was overthrown by US backed rebels, and a government that favored joining the EU was installed, Crimea changed it's mind and voted to leave. I forgot to mention that the new Ukrainian government actually passed some new laws that would have disenfranchised the citizens of Donbass and Crimea. Both of them turned to Putin for help, Donbass was a legal part of Ukraine so it didn't have the power the Crimeans did. It's really just that simple and straightforward no matter how much the leftwing media wants to mislead you. <<The vote in 14 was most likely as corrupt as Brexit and Trump - controlled by Russia.>> You do fine, but when you tack on statements like this you come across as a typical prejudiced simpleton. You don't know this and can't prove it so why say it? I can just as easily say that the original vote was corrupt. Just because YOU don't like the way a vote turns out, it doesn't qualify you to label it corrupt. You have an exalted opinion of yourself.
